As the number of physically distributed groups have increased so has the interest in the concept of virtual communities of practice. This workshop will explore an aspect of virtual communities of practice that we consider important for understanding these social groups. The question is where the actions are in virtual communities of practice. Our focus is the relations between the locations of activity in virtual communities of practice. In particular, we want to investigate if and how it matters that activities in physical space create and maintain interaction in virtual communities of practice. In order to investigate virtual communities of practice, we need to draw from several research areas. We know from sociology that humans are social beings that tend to form communities and we know from research in virtual communities that humans are able to form such communities in the virtual. We also know that ``communities of practice'' may emerge whenever people work together. However, social participation - as a constituent of communities of practice - is not just engaging in certain activities, such as working in a team, but actively participating in the practices of social communities and constructing identities in relation to these communities. Such participation shapes not just what participants do but also self-perception and understanding of their own activities, i.e., their identities within specific communities of practice. Apparently, communication and socialisation can happen in the virtual to some extent. The action, however, still happens in the real world when interacting with the physical and social environment. 2 Goals and objectives The overall goal of the workshop is to develop our understanding of the relations between virtual socialising and activities in the physical world, especially with regard to learning. Potential topics to investigate are as follows: - Is the concept of communities of practice well-suited to be applied to virtual communities? Research indicates that communities of practice are only one specific social group among several that support information and knowledge sharing. Other groups, such as communities of interest, communities of purpose, and communities of passion or distributed communities of practice, might be more suitable to describe virtual settings. As these groups are not mutually exclusive, it might be difficult to allocate a specific concept to a particular social setting, such as newsgroups. - Research in embodied cognitive science stresses the importance of physical presence and bodily interaction with the environment. However, bodily experiences and tacit knowledge are hard to communicate and we are interested in what ways these communication ``problems'' matter in the context of virtual communities of practice. - ``Identity'' is an important aspect of communities of practice and in the context of virtual communities of practice, the role of identity has received less attention than in the context of real world communities of practice. The interesting thing with virtual communities of practice is that identities would not only form in the interaction with the virtual community but also in the interaction with the ``real'' social environment. With the Internet, virtual communities use a medium which is not transparent to its participants. Communicating and acting in virtual communities is to some extent bound to the tools used by the community. Representations of persons, actions, artifacts, the communication flow, argumentation lines, etc. may play an important role in building identities and practices as well as in learning. We are also interested in the interdependencies between the tools (the medium) and the different dimensions of learning (as belonging, as becoming, as experience, and as doing) connected with the concept of communities of practice. And, as a consequence, what we can learn for tool design. 3 Intended participants Participants should be familiar with either ``communities of practice'' or ``virtual communities'' but we do not expect participants to be experts in these particular areas. The ``action'' issue, in particular, demands an interdisciplinary perspective so that the workshop could benefit from a broad range of backgrounds from cognitive science to social sciences. Participants are requested to submit /either/ a position paper (1-2 pages) stating background and interest in the workshop /or/ a 1-page position paper and a full paper that is suitable for publication. The position papers will be structured into a number of moderated discussion threads which will contribute to a summary of issues and positions at the end of the panel. Also, the position papers will be made available on the workshop home page. We intend to submit the full papers as a collection for publication. Lawrence Erlbaum expressed interest to publish such a collection. Submissions (only PDF or postscript please) should be sent to the contact address listed above.

Fwd: KT&P special issue on standardisation - reminder
by Gustaf Neumann 16 May '01

16 May '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: KT&P special issue on standardisation - reminder Date: Wed, 16 May 2001 10:04:21 +0000 From: Kai Jakobs <Kai.Jakobs(a)i4.informatik.rwth-aachen.de> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Hello all, Just a brief reminder - the deadline for the KT&P Special Issue on 'Information Technology - Standards, Standardisation and Policies' is approaching. So, if you want to submit something, please do so by June 1. The CfP is enclosed below. I look forward to receiving many good papers. Cheers, Kai. Call for Papers Knowledge, Technology & Policy Special Issue on Information Technology - Standards, Standardisation and Policies Guest Editor: Kai Jakobs 'Standards' form the sine-qua-non for all IT systems. It doesn't matter if they emerge through a formal process or through sheer market power. Without underlying standards (or technical specifications, to use a more generic term), meaningful exchange of information between different systems would be next to impossible. Accordingly, whether or not the market adopts a standard may well have considerable impact, even on large companies. Thus, understanding how standards emerge in the first place, what shapes them, and what impact exactly they (may) have should be a high priority interest. This Special Issue will - hopefully - contribute to a greater awareness of the problems and issues surrounding standardisation. This understanding, may well have some impact on the typical corporate perception of standards and standardisation (which may, with some justification, in many cases be characterised as 'laissez-faire'). Today, the most important issues relating to standards setting include, but are definitely not limited to - The adequacy of the 'traditional' standards setting process in today's fast moving environment. - The role of standards in information infrastructures. - National/regional/corporate standardisation policies. - Analysis of, and new models for, standardisation processes. - The role of consortia in standards making. - Corporate 'standards' vs consortium specifications vs formal standards. - The economic dimension of IT standards. - Intellectual Property Rights. - The role of the individual in standards setting. Obviously, the technical quality of the specifications, and whether or not they find a window of opportunity play a crucial role as well. Likewise, corporate strategies are vital to a standard's prospects in the market.

Fwd: Contents of JDM Special Issue on Mobile Commerce
by Gustaf Neumann 16 May '01

16 May '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Contents of JDM Special Issue on Mobile Commerce Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 22:17:30 -0500 From: Keng Siau <ksiau(a)UNLNOTES.UNL.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE The contents of the latest issue of: Journal of Database Management (JDM) Official publication of the Information Resources Management Association Vol 12#3, July-September 2001 Editor: Keng Siau, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Special Theme Issue on Mobile Commerce Edited by: Ee-Peng Lim, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Keng Siau, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA RESEARCH PAPERS: ARTICLE ONE: Mobile Commerce: Promises, Challenges, and Research Agenda Keng Siau, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Ee-Peng Lim, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Zixing Shen, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Advances in wireless technology increase the number of mobile device users and give pace to the rapid development of e-commerce using these devices. The new type of e-commerce, conducting transactions via mobile terminals, is called mobile commerce. Due to its inherent characteristics such as ubiquity, personalization, flexibility, and dissemination, mobile commerce promises businesses unprecedented market potential, great productivity, and high profitability. This paper presents an overview of mobile commerce development by examining the enabling technologies, the impact of mobile commerce on the business world, and the implications to mobile commerce providers. The paper also provides an agenda for future research in the area. ARTICLE TWO: A Prediction-Based Query Processing Strategy in Mobile Commerce Systems Chiang Lee and Chih-Horng Ke National Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan (R.O.C.) The rapid advances and popularity of the Internet encourages the wide dissemination of electronic commerce. Various applications of electronic commerce, e.g., querying supermarket catalogs, purchasing products, booking a hotel room of a trip, etc., are rapidly increasing. Moreover, the emergence of mobile computing makes it possible for users to access information anywhere and at anytime. With the merging of these two technologies, millions of users in the near future could carry a mobile device requesting services through electronic commerce applications. While serving such a mobile user, the server should consider how to minimize the response time of the request. However, conventional strategies for query processing are no longer adequate in the mobile environment. This is mainly because the user may not be at the same site as where he/she issued the request when the result of the request is ready to be delivered to the user. The issue becomes more complicated when the user's request involves data residing in multiple data sources. This paper proposes some strategies for query processing in a mobile commerce environment. All the strategies are presented, along with a cost analysis as the theoretical basis for the support of our design. Through the analysis of each strategy, we find the weakness of the strategy and improve it by a new design. Finally, the performances of all strategies are studied and compared to find the performance difference of the strategies. ARTICLE THREE: Mobile Commerce Agents in WAP-Based Services Mihhail Matskin and Amund Tveit Norwegian University of Science and Technology With the increasing number of e-commerce services for mobile devices, there are challenges in making these services more personalized and to take into account the severely constrained bandwidth and restricted user interface these devices currently provide. In this paper we consider an agent-based platform for support of mobile commerce using wireless (WAP-based) devices. Agents represent mobile device customers in the network by implementing highly personalized customer profiles. The platform allows customization and adaptation of mobile commerce services as well as pro-active processing and notification of important events. Information to the customers is delivered both via WML-decks and SMS messages. Usage of the platform is illustrated by examples of valued customer membership services and subscription services support. Some details of a prototype platform implementation are briefly considered. ARTICLE FOUR: A Framework for Analyzing Mobile Transaction Models Roberto Hirsch, Andrés Coratella, Miguel Felder, and Eduardo Rodriguez Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina Currently, mobile technology is undergoing a high growth stage, allowing an increasing plethora of mobile devices (handheld PCs, handsets, etc.) to daily access to distributed resources and information. This availability entails the requirement for transactional capabilities adapted to the specific characteristics of the mobile environment without losing the consistency and reliability guarantees of traditional OLTP systems. This paper surveys the definition and extension of transactional models to a mobile environment, starting with an explanation of this environment and a review of transactional systems applied to mobile computing. Afterwards, a framework for analyzing competing mobile models is defined. This framework allows for different constraints to be imposed to the most general "motion independence" requirement. Finally, existing mobile transaction proposals are assessed against the framework and classified, highlighting their relative strengths and weaknesses in different situations. ___________________________________________________________________ | 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 |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

16 May '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Journal of End User Cimputing, 13, 3, Table of Contents and Abstr acts Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 12:12:01 -0600 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 12, No. 3, July-September 2001 Editor: Mo Adam Mahmood, University of Texas, El Paso Special Theme Issue: Medical Informatics: Part I Guest Editors TOM G. GOUGH, University of Leeds, UK CHRISTOPHER J. HEMINGWAY, Cranfield School of Management, UK EDITORIAL PREFACE The guest editors introduce this special issue on Medical Informatics that presents papers addressing different stages of systems development and successful adoption of IS/IT in a medical or healthcare context. RESEARCH PAPERS ARTICLE ONE Nursing Staff Requirements for Telemedicine in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit TARA QAVI, User Centred Design Specialist LISA CORLEY, University of Salford, UK STEVE KAY, University of Salford, UK This research gauged nursing staff acceptance of a videoconferencing system within a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and identified a set of recommendations to be integrated into system design to maximise usability of the system by nursing end users. Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected through interview and questionnaire methods, designed to elicit system requirements from the nursing staff perspective. It is argued that videoconferencing should not substitute the physical tradition in which neonatal infants are monitored, nor be seen as a replacement for face-to-face communication. However, videoconferencing may provide a workable alternative when face-to-face communication is not possible. In particular, clinical and medical staff should maintain control over the operation of video links at all times. ARTICLE TWO Scanning and Image Processing System (SIPS) for Medication Ordering STEPHEN L. CHAN, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong This paper presents a physician order entry system in the ward (for medication prescriptions) by using scanning and image processing. Important design and operational requirements are presented. Then the scanning and imaging processing system (SIPS) is described. SIPS integrates different information technologies including scanning, bar code and other marks recognition, intelligent image capturing, server database access and retrieval, and network communication and printing. SIPS uses specially designed order forms for doctors to write orders that are then scanned into the computer that performs recognition and image processing. The resulting orders, including doctor's handwritten images and other order information, are transmitted to the destinations electronically. SIPS reduces human effort (and errors). We observe that SIPS is an innovative use of information technology to meet the needs of a hospital that requires paper-and-pen operations. SIPS can be extended to meet other operational needs as an alternate input method. ARTICLE THREE: Organizational and Implementation Issues of Patient Data Management Systems in an Intensive Care Unit NATHALIE MITEV, The London School of Economics, UK SHARON KERKHAM, Salford University, UK Since the National Health Service reforms were introduced, the NHS has moved towards a greater emphasis on accountability and efficiency of healthcare. These changes rely on the swift delivery of IT systems, implemented into the NHS because of the urgency to collect data to support these measures. This case study details the events surrounding the introduction of a patient data management system into an intensive care unit in a UK hospital. It shows that its implementation was complex and involved organisational issues related to the costing of healthcare, legal and purchasing requirements, systems integration, training and staff expertise, and relationships with suppliers. It is suggested that the NHS is providing an R&D environment which others are benefiting from. The NHS is supporting software development activities that are not recognised, and the true costs of this task are difficult to estimate. It is also argued that introducing PDMS crystallises many different expectations making them unmanageably complex. This could also be due to PDMS being a higher order innovation that attempts to integrate information systems products and services with the core business. ARTICLE FOUR: Studying the Translations of NHSnet EDGAR A. WHITLEY, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK ATHANASIA POULOUDI, Brunel University, UK This paper explores the ways in which innovative information systems projects take on a life of their own. The paper begins by reviewing some of the more traditional ways of making sense of this phenomenon: resistance to change, escalation and unintended results, before introducing the sociology of translation. This provides a theoretical framework for viewing the transformations that an information systems project undergoes. The framework is then applied to the case of the NHSnet project in the United Kingdom. Using the language of sociology of translation, we consider the underlying stakeholder relations in the case study and draw more general conclusions for the responsibilities of stakeholders involved in an information systems lifecycle. BOOK REVIEW: Strategic Technologies for Healthcare Information Theory into Practice Marion Ball, Judith V Douglas and David Garets (editors); Health Inforatics Series; New York: Springer-Verlag Inc., 1999; ISBN 9-387-98442-9 Review by Tom Gough, University of Leeds, UK The book reviewed in this issue is from a series directed to healthcare professionals. The book, edited by Marion Ball, Judith Douglas and David Garet, investigates various aspects of the competitive healthcare marketplace. EDITORIAL NOTE If you are presently conducting research or have an interest in the Medical Informatics area and you would like to get a free copy of the present issue of the journal, please let me know. Please 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 </ym/Compose?To=jtravers(a)idea_group.com&YY=3471&order=down&sort=date&pos=0> ) at the Idea Group Publishing office or ask your library to subscribe to JEUC. If you would like to submit a manuscript to JEUC for publication consideration, please consult the manuscript submission guidelines provided at http://www.idea_group.com/ <http://www.idea_group.com/journalo.htm> .

Fwd: CfP: Trading-Based Parallelism and Distribution, PDP 2002 Special Session

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CfP: Trading-Based Parallelism and Distribution, PDP 2002 Special Session Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 18:03:35 +0200 From: Heiko Ludwig <hlu(a)ZURICH.IBM.COM> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Call for Papers PDP 2002 Special Session on "Trading-Based Parallelism and Distribution" Gran Canaria Island, Spain January 9th-11th, 2002 http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~hlu/PDP2002TradingSession Organisers: Chris Kenyon, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, chk(a)zurich.ibm.com Heiko Ludwig, IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, hlu(a)zurich.ibm.com IBM Thomas J Watson Laboratory, hludwig(a)us.ibm.com (as of June 2, 2001) Subject Today?s distributed systems resource assignment strategies are mainly aimed at distribution issues within one organisation. Within the same organisation resource assignment to tasks is primarily done in a top-down, planed manner as the distribution authorities are assumed to have total control over all resources concerned. This applies equally to distributed storage and processing resources. The advent of high bandwidth, low latency and cheap networking through the Internet and other cross-organisational networks - e.g. the GRID - now enables distribution of resources across organisational boundaries. This opens the opportunity for organisations to buy resources in the form of a service just as the need arises, or to sell capacity if currently not needed, i.e. to trade resources. This requires a new approach to distributed systems, in terms of additional infrastructure needed to facilitate the trading, in terms of designing a distributed system and in dealing with uncertainties associated with the dynamic selling and purchasing of resources. It also brings in the question of appropriate resource pricing either for revenue management or for derivative pricing, e.g. for pricing options on forward reservation. Topics of interest The objective of this special session is to investigate the emerging paradigm of trading-based parallelism and distribution. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: - Trading paradigms and protocols - Trading of computing resources - Trading of storage capacity - QoS parameters - Interdependencies between storage and computing distribution - Commodity price dynamics appropriate for different tradeables - Distribution contracts and contract languages - Commoditisation of computing and storage - Automated provisioning of resources - Dealing with demand flexibility - forwards and options on resources - Dealing with supply risks - hedging and other prevention mechanisms Submission Submissions should follow the general PDP recommendations. Prospective authors should submit a full paper not exceeding 4000 words in length and including a 150-200 word abstract. For an anonymous reviewing process, the first page of the paper should contain only the title and the abstract. We expect your submission in a common format (PS, PDF, DOC) via e-mail to chk(a)zurich.ibm.com. Publication The papers of this special session will be published as part of the main PDP proceedings by IEEE Computer Society.
