It provides flexibility and agility in responding to consumer demand shifts with minimized cost overlays in resource utilization. The fundamental premise of this philosophy is synchronization of objectives, policies, and actions among multiple autonomous entities represented in it. That is, improved coordination within and between various supply chain members. There are many applications in manufacturing that is impacted by the supply chain management philosophy. It could influence design through the plug and play method of configuration to achieve mass customization. In addition, in manufacturing and production, the supply chain effects practically every aspect of the product-process interface, which leads to collaborative activities in both the design and manufacturing functions. Informatics has a major and key role to play in design and modeling of efficient supply chain management frameworks. It provides the opportunity to investigate and develop multi disciplinary approaches to supply chain problem solving. It has the potential to unify technologies in fields of enterprise integration: organization design, production operations management, and information systems in offering integrated methodological solutions. We seek research and / or applied contributions in the following topics, or other topics in design and manufacturing from academics and practitioners: Agent Modeling Business Process Reengineering CAD/CAM/CAE Collaborative Manufacturing Computer Integrated Manufacturing Concurrent Enterprising Configuration Management Data and Knowledge Management Data Mining Data Warehousing E-Management E-Manufacturing Manufacturing and Enterprise Integration Enterprise Resource Planning Information Modeling for Manufacturing Systems Intelligent Decision Support Intelligent Manufacturing Knowledge-Based Engineering Mass Customization Modularity in Design Ontology Management Production Systems Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems Product Design and Engineering Scalable Enterprise Engineering Scheduling Simulation Modeling Supply-Chain Management Manufacturing Systems & Engineering ******************************************************************** ** Ali Khosravi Kamrani, Ph.D. ** ** Director and Associate Professor ** ** Rapid Prototyping Laboratory ** ** Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, 2250 EC ** ** College of Engineering and Computer Science ** ** The University of Michigan-Dearborn ** ** Dearborn, MI 48128-1491 ** ** Tel (office/voice mail) : (313) 593-5399 ** ** Fax (IMSE Department) : (313) 593-3692 ** ** e-mail(u) : kamkode(a)umich.edu ** ** http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/~kamkode/hmpage.html ** ******************************************************************** ___________________________________________________________________ | 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://www.isworld.org/isworldlist | If you can't find an answer contact isworld_manager(a)cornell.edu |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: Journal of End User Cimputing, 13,4, Table of Contents and Abstra cts
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Aug '01

29 Aug '01

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Journal of End User Cimputing, 13,4, Table of Contents and Abstra cts Date: Wed, 29 Aug 2001 14:34:46 -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 13, 4, October-December 2001 Editor: Mo Adam Mahmood, University of Texas, El Paso Special Theme Issue: Medical Informatics: Part II Guest Editors TOM G. GOUGH, University of Leeds, UK CHRISTOPHER J. HEMINGWAY, Cranfield School of Management, UK GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE As the second part of a special issue on Medical Informatics, this edition of JEUC presents further perspectives on the successful adoption of IT/IS in the medical and healthcare context. In the first two papers presented here, cross-case analysis is used to derive best practice insights from different projects. The final paper of the issue helps us further understand successful practice in medical informatics by telling us how we might evaluate the level of this success. RESEARCH PAPERS: ARTICLE ONE: The Importance of User Ownership and Positive User Attitudes in the Successful Adoption of Community Information Systems C. R. COOMBS, Loughborough University, UK N. F. DOHERTY, Loughborough University, UK J. LOAN-CLARKE, Loughborough University, UK The factors that influence the ultimate level of success or failure of systems development projects have received considerable attention in the academic literature. However, despite the existence of a 'best practice' literature many projects still fail. The record of the National Health Service has been particularly poor in this respect. The research reported in this paper proposes that two additional factors; user ownership and positive user attitudes warrant further development and investigation. The current study investigated these two factors in a homogenous organisational sector, Community NHS Trusts, using a common type of information system, in order to eliminate the potentially confounding influences of sector and system. A multiple case-study design incorporating five Community Healthcare Trusts was utilised. The key results from the analysis indicated that both user ownership and positive user attitudes were important mediating variables that were crucial to the success of a CIS. In addition, it was also identified that the adoption of best practice variables had a dual role, directly influencing the level of perceived success but also facilitating the development of user ownership and positive user attitudes. These results will be of particular interest to practising IM&T managers in the NHS and also to the wider academic research community. ARTICLE TWO: Experiences from Health Information System Implementation Projects Reported in Canada Between 1991 and 1997 FRANCIS LAU, University of Alberta, Canada MARILYNNE HEBERT, University of British Columbia, Canada Canada's Health Informatics Association has been hosting annual conferences since the 1970's as a way of bringing information systems professionals, health practitioners, policy makers, researchers and industry together to share their ideas and experiences in the use of information systems in the health sector. This paper describes our findings on the outcome of information systems implementation projects reported at these conferences in the 1990s. Fifty implementation projects published in the conference proceedings were reviewed and the authors or designates of 24 of these projects were interviewed. The overall experiences, which are consistent with existing implementation literature, suggest the need for organizational commitment; resource support and training; managing project, change process and communication; organizational/user involvement and teams approach; system capability; information quality; and demonstrable positive consequences from computerization. ARTICLE THREE: Introducing Computer-Based Telemedicine in Three Rural Missouri Counties KIMBERLY D. HARRIS, Duquesne University, USA JOSEPH F. DONALDSON, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA JAMES D. CAMPBELL, University of Missouri-Columbia, USA This study investigated predictors of utilization of the computer-based telemedicine in three rural Missouri counties. Participating health care agencies were given computers and access to an Internet-based workstation that provided e-mail and World Wide Web (WWW) services. Utilization data for e-mail messages sent and WWW pages accessed were collected through proxy servers. A survey was distributed to those employees who are enrolled in the Rural Telemedicine Evaluation Project (RTEP), which addressed perceptions of the Internet-based RTEP workstation. The results of the survey were analyzed to see how perceptions and demographic variables predicted actual utilization. The findings of the study revealed that for e-mail, behavioral intentions/attitude, age, organizational support, and time were the most significant predictors. For WWW, only the behavioral intentions/attitude subscale predicted utilization. The majority of respondents did not utilize the e-mail technology. Strategies need to be developed through training interventions and organizational policies to address non-utilization. BOOK REVIEW Managing Healthcare Information Systems with Web-Enabled Technologies Eder, Lauren, Ed. Hershey, USA: Idea Group Publishing, 2000 In the preface to this collection of articles Eder notes that currently "healthcare organizations worldwide have undergone major reorganizations and adjustments to meet the demands of improved health service accessibility and quality as well as lowered costs." One of the primary means to accomplish this goal is by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare information systems (HIS). This book focuses specifically on how (and why) HISes should be enabled via Web-based technology. Using the ubiquitous nature of the Web, healthcare professionals, insurance companies, and patients become informed end users able to tailor and manage knowledge to improve many facets of the healthcare system. 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. You can make a request even if you have received a free copy before. Please do 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 <mailto:jtravers@idea-group.com> ) 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 a http://www.idea-group.com <http://www.idea-group.com> . After reviewing the guidelines, please send us four copies of your manuscript. Sincerely, M.

Proposals should specify the topic and scope of the tutorial, the background knowledge expected of the participants, and a short CV of the instructor(s). SUBMISSION OF PAPERS Authors should submit a paper in English of about 10 A4 pages, up to 5.000 words, using the submission procedure indicated below. The programme committee will review all papers and the contact author of each paper will be notified of the result, by email. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it is applicable. Authors must also indicate the conference track to which the paper is submitted. The paper must be carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling. Paper submission procedure A blind paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide two separate files: A papers front-page, with: the title, author(s), affiliation(s), contact details, a list of keywords and an abstract. The full paper, WITHOUT any reference to the authors. The manuscript must contain, in its first page, the paper title, an abstract and a list of keywords but NO NAMES OR CONTACT DETAILS WHATSOEVER are to be included in any part of this file. The contact author will then use the ICEIS web-based submission facility available at the conference web site, to enter the contact information of all paper authors plus the two files indicated in point 1, above. The facility will automatically send a submission acknowledgement, by email, to the author indicated as contact author. The camera-ready format will be enforced only for accepted papers, but authors are encouraged to use it also for paper submissions, in order to reduce extra work later. Two templates are provided at the conference web site: one for Latex and another for MS Word. Due to space limitations in the Proceedings, the camera-ready version will be limited to 8 (eight) pages for full papers, 6 (six) for short papers (progress reports) and 4 (four) for poster presentations. If absolutely needed, it will be allowed to increase the total number of pages, by 4 extra pages. However, for each excess page the author will have to pay an additional fee. IMPORTANT DEADLINES Full Paper Submission: 15 th October 2001 Workshops and Tutorials Submission: 15th November 2001 Author Notification: 17 th December 2001 Final Camera-Ready Submission and Registration: 14th January 2002 SECRETARIAT ICEIS-2002 Secretariat E.S.

It is not easy to categorize Castilla-La Mancha, for it is a region of great variety and complexity. On the one hand, there is the ruddy red earth, the windmills, and simple whitewashed villages of the province of Ciudad Real (which encompasses most of the area commonly called La Mancha). But there are also the strangely sculpted cliffs of Cuenca and Albacete, the hilly woodlands of Guadalajara and the dark mystery and ancient cultures of Toledo. Ciudad Real is one hour by car from Toledo, fifty minutes by train from Madrid, seventy minutes by train from Córdoba and two hours by train from Sevilla.
