---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: SAC 2002 Coordination Track: CfP&R Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2001 10:55:56 +0200 From: Sascha Ossowski <sossowski(a)ESCET.URJC.ES> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS AND REFEREES ============================ (Apologies if you receive multiple copies) 17th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC 2002) Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications March 10-14, 2002 Madrid, SPAIN ( http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2002/ ) SAC 2002 ~~~~~~~~ Over the past sixteen years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has become a primary forum for applied computer scientists and application developers from around the world to interact and present their work. SAC 2002 is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP) and is presented in cooperation with other ACM Special Interest Groups. SAC 2002 is hosted by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain. Authors are invited to contribute original papers in all areas of experimental computing and application development for the technical sessions. There will be a number of special tracks on such issues as Programming Languages, Parallel and Distributed Computing, Agent Systems, Multimedia and Visualization, etc. Coordination Models, Languages and Applications Track ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Building on the success of the four previous editions (1998-2001), a special track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at SAC 2002. Over the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of models, formalisms and mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed computations and systems based on the concept of coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to enable the integration of a number of possibly heterogeneous components (processes, objects, agents) in such a way that the resulting ensemble can execute as a whole, forming a software system with desired characteristics and functionalities which possibly takes advantage of parallel and distributed systems. The coordination paradigm is closely related to other contemporary software engineering approaches such as component-based systems and middleware platforms. Furthermore, the concept of coordination exists in many other Computer Science areas such as Cooperative Information Systems, Distributed Artificial Intelligence, and Internet Technologies. The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications deliberately takes a broad view of what is coordination: this term covers here traditional models and languages (e.g., the ones based on the Shared Dataspace and CHAM metaphors), but also other related notions and formalisms such as configuration and architectural description frameworks, models of multi-agent planning, organization and decision-making, systems modeling abstractions and languages, programming skeletons, etc. Correspondingly, in addition to the traditional areas covering data- driven (such as Linda) and control-driven (such as Manifold) models and languages, this Special Track aims at putting together contributions from all the many areas where the concept of coordination is relevant, such as multi-agent systems, software architectures, middleware platforms, groupware and workflow management, etc, providing them with a common forum where to discuss their different viewpoints and share ideas. On this very subject, it is worth to remind that the last editions of this Track were undoubtedly successful under many points of view, but in particular in attracting relevant and consistent contributions from many different research communities. According to that, major topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: * Novel models, languages, programming and implementation techniques * Applications (especially where the industry is involved) * Theoretical aspects (semantics, reasoning, verification) * Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile and intelligent agents * Software architectures and software engineering techniques * Configuration and Architecture Description Languages * Middleware platforms (e.g. CORBA) * All aspects related to the modeling of Information Systems (groupware, Internet and the Web, workflow management, CSCW) * Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures * Internet- and Web-based coordinated systems * Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented, declarative (functional, logic, constraint) programming or extensions of them with coordination capabilities Proceedings and Post-proceedings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Papers accepted for the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2002 proceedings and in the Digital Library. Among the papers accepted and presented at the Track, a further selection will be performed according to quality and relevance criteria, to produce a "Special Issue on Coordination and Knowledge Engineering" of The Knowledge Engineering Review http://uk.cambridge.org/journals/ker/ Even though this will not affect paper acceptance to SAC 2002, referees will be separately asked to express their advice on relevance of papers to the Special Issue since the first review step. Accordingly, we encourage potential authors of papers submitted to the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications to take a look to KER's aims and scope.

Fwd: Call for Papers - MISQ Special Issue on Action Research
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Call for Papers - MISQ Special Issue on Action Research Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 12:16:08 +1200 From: "Myers, Michael" <m.myers(a)AUCKLAND.AC.NZ> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Call For Papers Special Issue of MIS Quarterly "Action Research in Information Systems" Word and PDF versions of the Call for Papers are available on the ISWorld/ MISQ Discovery Section on Qualitative Research in Information Systems at: www.auckland.ac.nz/msis/isworld/ (see under "Calls for Papers") Senior Editors for the Special Issue: Richard Baskerville, Georgia State University Michael D. Myers, University of Auckland Action research is a research method that solves immediate practical problems while expanding scientific knowledge (Avison, et al., 1999). Unlike other research methods, where the researcher seeks to study organizational phenomena but not to change them, the action researcher is concerned to create organizational change and simultaneously to study the process (Baburoglu and Ravn, 1992). Although there are many different forms of action research (Baskerville, 1999; Baskerville and Wood-Harper, 1998), all are based on collaboration between researchers and practitioners. Given the frequent calls for IS research to be more relevant to practice (e.g. Zmud, 1998), we believe that action research has the potential to contribute to making IS research relevant. Action research has been accepted as a valid research method in other applied fields such as organization development and education (e.g. Carr and Kemmis, 1986; Elden and Chisholm, 1993; Van Eynde and Bledsoe, 1990). With this special issue we aim to promote excellent action research by publishing empirical studies that present and clarify the ways in which action research should be done in information systems. The aim of the special issue is to promote action research by publishing empirical studies that can serve as models ("exemplars") of how to do action research. Because the special issue is soliciting submissions of exemplars, authors of a submission (1) must identify clearly in their manuscript's methods section the criteria by which to judge the research and (2) must show explicitly how the research in their manuscript meets those criteria. Manuscripts must address both conditions or will be returned un-reviewed to their authors. Action research manuscripts in any substantive area of information systems will be considered. Our intention is to engage in a constructive dialogue with authors so that the final product will reflect the highest standards for work in the action research tradition. Also, we will make every effort to ensure that manuscripts receive both knowledgeable and respectful reviews. At the same time, however, we will ensure that only work of the highest standard is published. Potential authors are strongly encouraged to contact one of the Senior Editors early on in the development of their manuscript. In this way we hope to nurture and provide feedback to prospective authors, even before formal submission. However, all manuscripts will be subject to the usual high standard of peer review at MIS Quarterly. All papers accepted for the themed issue on action research will be made available immediately, upon acceptance, in the form of electronic pre-prints on the MIS Quarterly "forthcoming" web page, just like all other MISQ acceptances. Accepted papers will be batched for hardcopy publication in a single issue of the Quarterly. When submitting your manuscript, please clearly indicate that it is to be considered for the Special Issue on Action Research. All manuscripts must follow the MISQ guidelines for submission. For example, authors can nominate reviewers for their submission, but should avoid any nominations that would involve a conflict of interest. Further details regarding the manuscript submission process can be found on the MIS Quarterly web site at http://www.misq.org/ We are also interested in people who would like to be reviewers for this special issue. Please send contact information and a short bio or statement of interest to Richard Baskerville or Michael Myers. The deadline for submitting a manuscript to the Special Issue is 30th September 2002. However, authors are welcome to submit their manuscripts earlier. The review process will begin immediately upon receipt of the manuscript. Inquiries are welcome.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Call for Papers MISQ Executive a publication of MIS Quarterly ~ sponsored by the Kelley School of Business, Indiana University ~ Call for Papers ( also available at <http://www.people.vcu.edu/~aslee/MISQE-call-for-papers.htm> ) 19 June 2001 The editor-in-chief, Jack Rockart, and the senior editors, Cynthia Beath, Allen Lee, Jeanne Ross, and Michael Vitale, of the new journal MISQ Executive are inviting submissions. The mission of MISQ Executive is to encourage practice-based research in the information systems field and to disseminate the results of that research in a manner that makes its relevance and utility readily apparent to both academic and non-academic readers. MISQ Executive will pursue this mission by publishing academic research in a format targeting senior managers. Executives already have access to many sources of knowledge about information systems, but MISQ Executive will differentiate itself from other forms of IS practitioner literature by publishi! ng! articles, case studies, and research reports that are theoretically and methodologically sound, and that focus the reader's attention on their rich stories, unique insights, and useful conceptual frameworks. MISQ Executive is soliciting submissions of articles for publication in the following departments: **Executive Research. Executive Research articles will present original research and offer lessons, frameworks, explanations, and recommendations relevant to practice. Sloan Management Review provides a model for these articles. Unlike much academic literature, these articles need not emphasize their theoretical roots or describe the methods used, but they will identify related literature that enriches their findings and recommendations for the interested reader. **Case Research. Case Research articles will provide rich stories of individual organizations' management and technological initiatives. These articles will not only tell the story, but also provide analyses of th! e ! events and their outcomes. The annual SIM competition papers published in MIS Quarterly provide good examples of case research articles. **Research Reports. A Research Report will summarize findings and insights from a recently completed but as yet unpublished research study, including those studies eventually intended for publication in traditional academic journals. The objective of Research Reports is to provide timely and generalizable observations, feedback, and reflections on relatively new phenomena and issues in the information systems arena. A paper suitable for Research Reports would move the research community forward on research in a new area and give practitioners insights into new "hot" areas. Research Reports may, in some cases, be brief (approximately 2 pages) summaries of findings from a just-completed research project, where readers might contact authors for additional details. In other cases, research reports might provide much more detailed findings. **Re! se! arch Digest. Research Digest articles will revisit research already published in MIS Quarterly or other academic journals and reframe the research specifically for practitioners who are likely to find the results of the research relevant to current practice. These articles will be rewritten for a practitioner audience in a manner that focuses on managerial practice rather than theory. MISQ Executive intends to be the premiere IS research journal targeting a managerial audience. It aims to emphasize practice-based research as a worthy and important academic pursuit. Its target audience will include both practitioners and researchers, so that the journal can stimulate ongoing discussions at the intersection of research and practice. Educators may also find its articles to be a useful way to introduce students to concepts or frameworks from MIS research. Unlike the MIS Quarterly review process, the MISQ Executive review process will rarely engage authors in a long developmental! p! rocess. The MISQ Executive review process will typically involve an accept/reject decision or a single revision prior to an accept/reject decision. Lengthy, "value adding" review cycles will not be the norm. The review process is as follows: 1. Every submission will be screened for review readiness by a senior editor (SE) or the editor-in-chief (EIC). The EIC or one of the SEs will be designated as responsible for managing the submission through the review process (henceforth, the "managing SE"). 2. After passing the screening, the submission will go to at least (but generally, no more than) two members of the editorial board who will serve as reviewers. (However, for the first two issues of MISQ Executive, the reviewers will most likely consist of the other SEs and the EIC). They, in turn, may seek outside persons to be additional reviewers, but the expectation is for this option to be used very rarely. 3. Authors may request (subject to the approval of the managing SE) a r! ev! iew process that is double blind (so that the reviewers and authors do not know each other's identities) or a review process that is open (so that all reviewers and authors in the manuscript's review process know each others' identities). 4. Generally, there will be a quick accept or reject decision on submissions. The editorial board members reviewing the manuscript may discuss their reactions to a manuscript and write a single, joint recommendation to the managing SE, who will make the final decision on the manuscript and communicate with the author. Authors should submit their manuscripts electronically in the form of a single Word or WordPerfect file (including all tables, figures, and diagrams) attached to an e-mail to submit(a)misqe.org. The e-mail should: 1. list the name(s) and e-mail address(es) of the author(s), 2. identify the corresponding author, 3. indicate the department to which the manuscript is being submitted (Executive Research, Case Research, Research Repo! rt! s, or Research Digest), 4. nominate one or more of the SEs (Cynthia Beath, Allen Lee, Jeanne Ross, or Michael Vitale) or the EIC (Jack Rockart) to manage the review process for the manuscript and to make the final accept/reject decision on it, and 5. indicate whether the author prefers a blind or open review process. Authors will transfer the copyright of their articles to MISQ Executive, but will retain the right to distribute copies of their articles themselves for educational and research purposes. MISQ Executive: A Print Journal, Distributed Electronically The first two issues of MISQ Executive will be distributed as supplements to MIS Quarterly. MIS Quarterly subscribers will automatically receive, at no cost, the first two issues of MISQ Executive. In addition, the first two issues as well as all subsequent issues of MISQ Executive will be made available in the form of .pdf files that, when printed, will have an appearance similar to articles published in MIS Quarterly! , ! where the visual appeal of MISQ Executive's articles may be enhanced. Pages will be numbered consecutively within issues. There will be four issues every year. These features will distinguish MISQ Executive from electronic journals which only display their articles in html format. MISQ Executive will not be an electronic journal, but will be a print journal that is distributed electronically. The expectation is that most readers will subscribe to MISQ Executive electronically. However, we expect that paper copies of articles and bound issues will be available, at a cost to be determined. The MISQ Executive website is available at www.misqe.org.

Relevant issues include the design, implementation, deployment, and evaluation of the effects of these systems. The expanding functionality of group support systems creates new use opportunities. However, the integration of technology with social practices can be challenging. Additionally, the growing influence of the Internet, mobile and ubiquitous computing, agent systems, and virtual reality also influence group/organizational structures and processes. These technologies are exciting, but their technological and social integration raises many questions for a challenging new research agenda. GROUP 2001 integrates two themes of research: modeling and implementation issues, and the organizational and behavioral considerations for supporting group work. We invite participation from researchers and practitioners interested in these issues. The conference will take place in beautiful Boulder, Colorado, at the base of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to an exciting papers program, plenary speakers include Stan Deetz, author of _Democracy in an age of corporate colonization: Developments in communication and the politics of everyday life_.
