---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Final Call for Papers: Special Issue of Journal of Electronic Commerce Research Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 10:18:37 +0800 From: "Patrick Y.K. CHAU" <pchau(a)BUSINESS.HKU.HK> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Journal of Electronic Commerce Research on Cultural Aspects of E-Commerce Deadline for Submission: 15 February 2002 http://www.business.hku.hk/~pchau/special_issue/jecr.htm Overview Use of the Internet allows organizations to compete in a global virtual market-space. Consumers from different cultures may considerably differ in perceptions, beliefs, selection, and actual participating and use of Internet-based electronic commerce (e-commerce). To compete in this global market-space, companies need to understand and thus leverage subtle but important cultural differences exhibited by individuals. Culture is a relevant and critical dimension of e-commerce that must extend above and beyond obvious language differences. Does the purpose or function provided by an Internet-based business application remain consistent across cultural boundaries? Does culture, in effect, matter at all in the world of e-commerce? Answers to these and other culture-related questions may offer useful insights to companies that simultaneously operate the multi-cultural market-space that span across political and geographic boundaries. Purpose of the Special Issue The purpose of this special issue is to encourage discussion and communication of important cultural aspects of e-commerce and to showcase some interesting and significant research work in this critical area. Specifically, the issue proposes to compile a succinct body of research efforts that examine various cultural issues in e-commerce, thereby advancing our understanding of an important e-commerce dimension while at the same time providing a point of departure for continued investigative efforts. Of particular relevance to the described focus are information systems, human-computer interaction, Web design, decision support and consumer behaviors, and cultural and cross-cultural research. The issue, however, will not be restricted to these topics; rather, it welcomes reports of theoretical or empirical research that examines pertinent cultural issues in e-commerce. Submission of Manuscripts All submissions must be in English, should represent original work done by the authors, and must NOT have been published, accepted for publication, or be presently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the submission guidelines of Journal of Electronic Commerce Research (JECR). Reviews of the submitted manuscripts will proceed in accordance with JECRs editorial policy. Submissions should be by electronic transmission ONLY (using a Word file attachment) and must be sent to both guest editors. Dr. Patrick Y.K.

Fwd: CFP: AOIS 2002 - 4th Int. Bi-Conf. Workshop on Agent-Oriented Information Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Jan '02

15 Jan '02

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: AOIS 2002 - 4th Int. Bi-Conf. Workshop on Agent-Oriented Information Systems Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 12:41:58 +0100 From: Giorgini Paolo <pgiorgio(a)SCIENCE.UNITN.IT> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE (our apologies if you receive this more than once) Call for papers Fourth International Bi-Conference Workshop on Agent-Oriented Information Systems (AOIS-2002) http://www.aois.org May 27-28, 2002 Toronto, Ontario, Canada at CAiSE'02 (http://www.cs.toronto.edu/caise02/) Workshop Description -------------------- Agent-Orientation is emerging as a powerful new paradigm in computing. Concepts and techniques from the agents paradigm could well be the foundations for the next generation of mainstream information systems. Information systems have become the backbone of all kinds of organizations today. In almost every sector - manufacturing, education, health care, government, and businesses large and small - information systems are relied upon for everyday work, communication, information gathering, and decision-making. Yet the inflexibilities in current technologies and methods have also resulted in poor performance, incompatibilities, and obstacles to change. As many organizations are reinventing themselves to meet the challenges of global competition and e-commerce, there is increasing pressure to develop and deploy new technologies that are flexible, robust, and responsive to rapid and unexpected change. Agent concepts hold great promise for responding to the new realities of information systems. They offer higher level abstractions and mechanisms which address issues such as knowledge representation and reasoning, communication, coordination, cooperation among heterogeneous and autonomous parties, perception, commitments, goals, beliefs, intentions, etc. On the one hand, the concrete implementation of these concepts can lead to advanced functionalities, e.g., in inference-based query answering, transaction control, adaptive workflows, brokering and integration of disparate information sources, and automated communication processes. On the other, their rich representational capabilities allow more faithful and flexible treatments of complex organizational processes, leading to more effective requirements analysis, and architectural/detailed design. The workshop will focus on how agent concepts and techniques will contribute to meeting information systems needs today and tomorrow. The workshop encourages submissions on all topics related to AOIS, including (but not limited to) the following: - agent-oriented modeling and design methods - models and architectures for agent-oriented information systems - novel information system technologies based on software agents - agent-oriented requirements engineering - agents and knowledge management - agent-oriented approaches to data integration - agent-based workflow modeling - agent orientation and e-services/web services - agent orientation in web information systems - agent-oriented enterprise and business process modeling - agent communication languages for business communication - ontologies and agents - managing trust and reputation - automated business-to-business interaction (including negotiation and contracting) Special Track: Agent-Oriented Methodologies -- Commonalities and Distinctions -------------------------------------------------------------- The growth of interest in software agents and multi-agent systems has recently led to the development of new methodologies based on agent concepts. Methodologies (such as, Gaia, AAII, MaSE, AUML, Message/UML, and Tropos, among others) have become the focal point of attention in the emerging area of agent-oriented software engineering. These methodologies propose different approaches in using agent concepts and techniques at various stages during the software development lifecycle. To promote deeper understanding among and to foster synergy across research efforts in the various methodologies, this special track solicits research contributions that will identify, analyze, and illustrate the commonalities and distinctions across different methodologies. Methodologies may differ in their objectives and underlying premises, the way they deal with issues such as openness, uncertainty, security, and autonomy, the extent of coverage over the different phases of software engineering, the way they stress the evolution, maintenance, and other non-functional qualities, and eventually with respect to the tools and technologies that can support them. Methodologies may also differ in generality, some focusing on specialized application domains, or specific implementation technologies. A clarification of the similarities and differences among methodologies is needed to guide the practitioner in choosing which methodology to adopt for what applications and circumstances. A clearer understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of various methodologies, their compatibilities and divergences, will also be crucial for further advancements in the development of methodologies. Submissions to this special track are encouraged to present their methodology using a case study from an information system application area. The case study is intended to be representative of the kinds of challenges faced by real-world information systems today and tomorrow, but also to be useful to show weaknesses and strengths of the presented methodology. After the workshop we would like to define a "challenge problem" taking contributions from all the participants and use it as a "benchmark example" for comparison in the future workshops. Submissions papers must have agent orientation as a central feature. They could include (but are not limited to) papers that: - contain a detailed exposition of one methodology using a case study and explaining what stages the methodology covers, possibly with direct comparisons to at least one other methodology; - focus on selected technical issues (e.g., evolution and maintenance, coordination and protocols, validation and verification), analyzing how one or more methodologies deal with those issues, using a case study as much as possible to illustrate; - analyze and illustrate how selected agent concepts (e.g., roles, responsibilities, capabilities, intentionality, autonomy, dependency networks and trust) are used in different methodologies, and the consequences of those different approaches; - describe the decisions and commitments supported by one methodology in the development process, possibly showing what kinds of analyses are used to support these decisions; - compare a methodology to other agent-based methodologies as well as other non-agent-based methodologies (for instance, object-oriented, component-based, etc.); - present from practical experience the methodological difficulties and challenges a methodology may face, possibly proposing requirements and evolution criteria for evaluating methodologies from practical prospective. For authors that do not have a case study we suggest using one of the following available at the IS World Net (http://www.isworld.org/): - Juul Møller Bokhandel A/S (http://www.espen.com/papers/jme.pdf) Describes the trials and tribulations of a small struggling bookstore, when confronted with rapidly expanding Internet-based book retailers such as Amazon.com. Written by Espen Andersen (Norwegian School of Management), 1997. - Customer-Centric Reengineering at the Colorado Department of Revenue (http://www.coba.usf.edu/departments/isds/faculty/abhatt/cases/CDOR.pdf) Presents an innovative, customer-centric approach to reengineering using three projects at a state agency. Projects examined include licensing of casino employees, ports of entry processing, and individual income tax processing. Written by Anol Bhattacherjee (Arizona State University), 1999. - U S West Global Village (http://coba.usf.edu/departments/isds/faculty/abhatt/cases/USWest.pdf) Examines the design, justification, and implementation of a corporate intranet at a large U.S. telecommunications company. Written by Anol Bhattacherjee (Arizona State University), 1997. Workshop Format --------------- To foster greater communication and interaction between the Information Systems and Agents communities, we are organizing the workshop as a bi-conference event. It is intended to be a single "logical" event with two "physical" venues. It is hoped that this arrangement will encourage greater participation from, and more exchange between, both communities. We plan to hold the second part of the bi-conference event with a major agents conference; more information on this will be available soon. The technical program will include invited talks by leading experts in the field, panel discussions, and contributed papers. Poster sessions are also being planned. Authors of accepted papers who present their paper at one location will also be invited to present their papers as a poster in the other location. To mitigate the geographic and temporal separation of the two parts of the workshop, electronic discussion will be strongly encouraged. Accepted papers will be posted on the workshop website. There will be designated discussants for each paper. Discussants' comments will also be posted on the website. Format for the Special Track on "Agent-Oriented Methodologies -- Commonalities and Distinctions" ---------------------------------------------------------------- To encourage more face-to-face interaction on this special focus, this Special Track will be take place primarily at AOIS@CAiSE. All papers submitted to the special track will be discussed by designated discussants and panels at the CAiSE workshop. Authors for the special track are expected to present their papers at the CAiSE workshop, and be discussants for other papers. Those unable to participate at the CAiSE workshop will have the opportunity to present at the other workshop location. Other activities associated with the special track may also be organized at the other location. Publication of selected papers from the workshop in a special issue of a journal is being planned. Submission of Papers -------------------- To submit a regular paper as a postscript or pdf file, authors should either send it by email (or place it on a web server and send its URL) to pgiorgini(a)science.unitn.it by February 22, 2002. A separate message with the title, author names, affiliations, contact information and an abstract has to be sent by February 20, 2002. Papers must be of reasonable size (not exceeding 15 pages). Position papers can be submitted at any time by email to pgiorgini(a)science.unitn.it in ps or pdf format. Please have a look at our list of research questions.

Co-editors. =================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE ON: =================================================================== MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES FOR DECISION MAKING SUPPORT SYSTEMS: FOUNDATIONS, STUDY CASES AND LEARNED LESSONS " -------------------------------------------------------------------- JOURNAL: INFORMATION RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JOURNAL (IRMJ) http://www.idea-group.com/journals/details.asp?id=199 -------------------------------------------------------------------- I. RATIONALITY. Decision Making Support Systems (DMSS), have evolved or have been embedded, from classic DSS, EIS and ES/KBS, to or into Intelligent Systems, Web-DSS, OLAP&DW&DM systems, KMS and Enterprise Information and Decision Portals. All of them have offered organizational and individual benefits, such as improved organizational performance, improved decision quality, improved communication, enhanced mental models, amplified analytical skills of decision-makers, and reduced decision time frames. However, despite the availability of emergent IS&IT architectures in the market, successful DMSS are not immediate. Management and organizational barriers in addition to technological issues, must be overcome in order to have successful full implementations of DMSS. For this reason, we seek for articles that report scientific evidences of "Management and Organizational Issues for DMSS: Foundations, Study Cases and Learned Lessons". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. MISSION AND AIMS. This Special Issue's mission is to present the core and state of the art knowledge about the theory and application of management and organizational issues relevant to achieve successful implementations of Decision-Making Support Systems (DMSS) in organizations. The main aims are: (1) to generate a compendium of quality theoretical and applied papers on management and organizational issues in DMSS (2) to help diffuse scarce knowledge about effective methods and strategies for successfully designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating DMSS, and (3) to create an awareness among academicians and practitioners about the relevance of DMSS in the current complex and dynamic management environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------- III. TOPICS SOUGHT. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: * Project management of DMSS * DMSS implementation frameworks and models * DMSS development methodologies * Strategies for change-resistance management * Implementation of critical success factors * Lessons learned from failures or successful implementations of DMSS projects * Experiences in development of large-scale projects of DMSS. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. INSTRUCTIONS. The suggested length for each manuscript is 20-25 double-spaced typed pages, including graphs, tables, figures, and references. Original papers should be written to conform with the Information Resources Management Journal style guidelines document, which is available upon request.

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP OOIS'02 Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 14:12:39 +0100 From: Zohra Bellahsene <bella(a)LIRMM.FR> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS OOIS2002 8th International Conference on Object-Oriented Information Systems September 2-5, 2002 Montpellier, France http://www.lirmm.fr/OOIS2002/ Supported by INRIA Conference Theme The quantity of information available on the Web is rocketing. However, this information is not easily accessible. Indeed, query and retrieval as well as Web information management become extremely difficult. Also, data on the Web is placed independently by different organization; thus, documents containing related data may appear at different Web-sites and in different format. New object-oriented technologies have been conceived and implemented over the past decade in order to manage complexity inherent in the new information systems development. Research has spanned from information systems modeling (UML and OPEN) to databases (ODMG), from programming languages (Java) to middleware technology (CORBA). However, developing the new information systems whose platforms are based on Internet brings developers considerations of new issues such as providing flexible mechanisms to provide integrated views over multiple heterogeneous information sources. The main theme of OOIS'2002 is "Object-Technology and Integration of heterogeneous Information Systems" and the conference program will address both technologies and methodologies for building them. Relevant Topics The topics of OOIS'2002 will include, but are not limited to - OO frameworks - OO components/COTS - OO business models - OO patterns - Mobile Web Information Systems, - OO middle-ware - Reuse processes - Web based Information Systems - e-business/e-commerce - Web-based Applications - Query Languages for Web data - System modelling processes - OO distributed systems - OO built-in tests - Design and Maintenance of XML Warehouses - Managing Semi-structured data and XML - Web Query Processing and Optimization - Integration of Structured and Semi-structured Data - Mechanisms for handling data and knowledge - Web Mining - Mobile information systems - Web-based Publishing and Digital Libraries, - Requirement elicitation processes - Testing processes IMPORTANT DATES March 18 2002 Abstract submission March 25 2002 Paper submission May 20 2002 Notification of acceptance June 15 2002 final contributions SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Conference Proceedings will be published by the Springer-Verlag (in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series). All submissions should follow the Springer-Verlag guidelines and be no more than 5000 words.
