>>> Contents:
Because organizations today must survive in increasingly dynamic
environments, many organizations are adopting more streamlined, adaptive
hierarchies that increase the use of teams in daily operations. At the
same time, organizations are expanding their geographic boundaries and
alliances to become more efficient global competitors, and are choosing
team members from a more global pool of organizational participants.
Thus, teams have become more pivotal for organizational success and
simultaneously have become increasingly multicultural and multinational.
Much previous research has focused on identifying differences in work
processes among cultures. However, we know very little about the
dynamics of multicultural or multinational teams as they work embedded
in turbulent environments. The purpose of the workshop is to offer a
forum for this focus, and to encourage researchers to explore the
dynamics of multicultural and multinational teams. Examples of possible
research topics for multicultural/multinational teams include:
· Leadership and followership issues
· Effective team design and composition
· Influences of time perspective or perception differences on team
performance
· Effects of differences in culture of origin on team processes
· Inter-team dynamics
· Team conflict antecedents, manifestation, and effects
· Effects of differences in communication patterns on team functioning
· Collaborative processes
· Differences in team decision making preferences and decision outcomes
· Negotiation processes
· Knowledge creation and management
· Processes in virtual multicultural teams
>>> Special Volume of JAI Advances in International Management:
The volume special editors, Joseph Cheng, Gerhard Fink, Etty Jehn, and
Wolfgang Mayrhofer, will invite the authors of the accepted full papers
to present their work at the workshop. Selected papers from the workshop
will be published in a special volume of the JAI Press series, Advances
in International Management, edited by Joseph Cheng and Michael Hitt.
In order to facilitate a lively discussion of pertinent topics, drafts
of papers to be presented will be distributed to workshop participants
approximately two weeks before the workshop takes place.

Subject: CFP: Workshop on Information Systems for Mass Customization (ISMC 2002)
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 09:43:30 +0200
From: Klaus Turowski <turowski(a)ITI.CS.UNI-MAGDEBURG.DE>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
CALL FOR PAPERS
Second Workshop on Information Systems for Mass Customization
(ISMC 2002)
(http://www-wi.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/mc/ismc2002/)
as part of the
Third International ICSC Symposium on
Engineering of Intelligent Systems (EIS 2002)
Malaga, Spain, 24.09.-27.09.2002
One of the big challenges of the upcoming century is the realization of mass
customization which means obviously changes to nearly all areas of business.
For example, sophisticated marketing concepts, organizational issues,
logistics, and manufacturing strategies are required.
However, mass customization is not an "add-on" to conventional business
concepts and strategies. It means a deep cut into all parts of an
operational enterprise. Therefore business processes, company organization
structure, information systems, production strategies, logistics, production
technology etc. have to be reconsidered. Furthermore, all subsystems of a
company have to work together in a continuously integrated manner.
The workshop aims to provide researchers and practitioners from academia and
industry with a forum to report on the latest developments in topics
concerning mass customization as well as managing mass customization
strategies.
Besides reports on practice cases and research results, the workshop
provides broad room for discussion. For this reason, interested people not
contributing a report, but being engaged in the topic are especially welcome
to deepen the discussion.
WORKSHOP TOPICS
* Product configurators for mass customization, product catalogues
* Ad hoc generating of product data, ad hoc planning
* IT support for inter-company communication and coordination
* Web-based techniques, E-Commerce approaches, XML, XML/EDI
* Virtual enterprises for mass customization
* Procurement automation
* Supply chain management
* Production networks
* Intelligent planning/coordination, multi-agent systems
* Case studies
* Service individualization
* Mass customization concepts
SUBMISSIONS
Prospective authors are requested to either send a draft paper (maximum 7
pages) or an extended abstract for review. All submissions must be written
in English and must include the title of the workshop. Please refer to the
congress Web page
http://www.icsc-naiso.org/conferences/eis2002/index.html
for further details concerning the submission procedure.

Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS: Informing Science + IT Education (InSITE) Confe rence 2002, Cork, Ireland
Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2001 11:49:56 +0100
From: "Butler, Tom" <TButler(a)AFIS.UCC.IE>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE TRACK
Digital Divide and Social Responsibility
At the 2002 Informing Science + IT Education (InSITE) Conference in
June 19-22, 2002 University College Cork, Cork, Ireland http://is2002.com/
Track Co-chairs: Tom Butler (Ireland) & George Benwell (New Zealand)
TRACK DESCRIPTION
The Digital Divide has been defined as a gap that exists between those with
access to information technologies and those who do not. The term is also
employed to indicate the disparity between those who through lack of
educational opportunities or social circumstances are excluded from
developing the IT skills that would gain them employment in the IT industry.
While social exclusion on the basis of wealth and status has always existed,
the post-industrial 'global' society with its 'new economy' creates
additional barriers. Paradoxically, this situation also offers opportunities
to those who find themselves on the wrong side of the 'divide,' as the gap
between the supply and the demand for IT literate workers grows, even in
recessionary times. The problem to be addressed here is one of education and
training, not just the provision of information and communication
technologies to the socially and economically excluded. All this is creating
tremendous challenges and opportunities for policy makers, educators, and
private sector institutions that wish to exercise corporate social
responsibility.
This track provides an outlet for scholarship in philosophy, education,
information systems, and related fields. Such scholarship examines
philosophical and ethical issues surrounding the digital divide and how it
is being addressed in society. Also of interest is who is affected by the
'divide' and why, how, and where? Educators and social policy makers play a
vital role in spanning the divide; hence, scholarship from these areas is
especially welcome.
Recommended Topics
The purpose of this track is to provide a forum for researchers across to
contribute in this expanding research area. Areas in which contributions may
be made include (but are not limited to):
* Philosophical issues
* Government and social policy initiatives aimed at spanning
the divide
* The role of IT educators in shaping and executing policy
* The exercise of corporate social responsibility by private
businesses
* Collaborations between social partners educators, industry
and government
* Practical experiences of educators and IT practitioners
Further information may be obtained from the track co-chairs at
tbutler(a)afis.ucc.ie or gbenwell(a)infoscience.otago.ac.nz

TRACK DESCRIPTION:
IT has played a major role in the rapid development of the Asian "tiger
economies" and this fact has not been lost on Asia's newly emerging
economies. Yet while a number of Asian governments are now building their
national development plans around IT, others have only just obtained a
connection to the Internet. While the region's major industrial and
financial institutions are deploying IT in their bids to brace themselves
for a global competitive stance and have proved that leapfrogging exists in
IT development, the vast majority of Asians have yet to make a phone call,
much less use a computer. The track on IT in Asia seeks to showcase IT/IS
research and implementations that address these and other issues relating to
the use of IT in Asia.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS
Papers (completed or in-progress: about 20 double spaced pages), extended
abstracts (completed or in-progress research: about 4-6 pages), panel and
workshop proposals (2-4 pages) dealing with (but not limited to) the
following topics are invited. Please mention the name of this track on the

- E-commerce in Asia
- Multi-nationals and IT in Asia
- National planning for IT
- IT in Asian education
- IT in development
- IT and Asian governance
- Cultural aspects of Asian IT
- Asian languages and IT
- Asian Silicon Valleys
- IT for islands and remote communities
- Asian Internet issues
OTHER TRACKS: Please note that you may also submit to other Global IT
tracks. Just note the name of the appropriate track on the cover (if no
such track exists or you do not know the track name, simply state so on the
cover page). In general, Global IT Management topics include (but are not
limited to):

Subject: CFP: Special issue on Scheduling
Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2001 08:19:10 -0500
From: Jeet Gupta <00jngupta(a)BSUVC.BSU.EDU>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
(Apologies for multiple postings)
A special issue of the Journal of the Chinese Institute of Industrial
Engineers is planned to cover the recent developments in scheduling theory.
Detailed Call for Papers can be found at the following URL addresses on the
web:
http://bsuvc.bsu.edu/~00jngupta/schc.pdf in pdf file
http://bsuvc/bsu.edu/~00jngupta/schc.doc in MS Word 97 file.
The deadline for the submission of papers is November 30, 2001.
Briefly, the gist of the CFP is as follows:
Interest in the various approaches, tools, and techniques to solve
scheduling problems (e.g., genetic algorithms, evolutionary heuristics,
neural networks, heuristic programming, expert systems, optimizing
techniques, and constraintsbased reasoning and optimization) continues to
grow. However, the majority of the existing literature is focused only on
the issue of theory development without considering the specific needs of
the practitioner. This special issue will focus on both the development of
scheduling theory and the use of various tools and techniques to solve
scheduling problems faced by the practitioner including the recent
developments in e-commerce and supply chain management. Hopefully, the
reader will be able to develop a better appreciation of these tools and
techniques, their use in problem solving, and their relationship to methods
and emerging philosophies in our discipline.
This special issue will provide the advantage of grouping together
highquality papers in the area of scheduling theory and applications. The
term scheduling is adapted in its most generic sense and includes the
service as well as manufacturing environments. Examples of the subject
matter of the papers suitable for this special issue include, but are not
limited to, the following:
§ § Recent developments in scheduling theory that can help
practitioners, and their integration with other production planning and
control, information technology, and management sciences tools and
techniques.
§ Development of appropriate solution techniques for scheduling
problems either in service or manufacturing sectors such as the scheduling
of jobs in a flow shop and staff scheduling problems in hospitals.
§ Application papers (i.e., actual or potential applications of
various scheduling techniques and approaches to problems of specific
interest to the business community).
§ Identification and solution of scheduling problems that provide
integrative viewpoints of lot-sizing, supply chain management, e-commerce,
and related emerging trends in industry.
§ Description and evaluation of information technology and software
packages available to solve scheduling problems
All manuscripts will be promptly and carefully refereed. Authors should
follow the Instructions to Authors for the Journal of Chinese Institute of
Industrial Engineers (available from the guest editorial team, or from the
web site www.ciie.org.tw) when preparing their manuscripts. Please submit
five copies in English, by no later than November 30, 2001, to one of the
