Initiated by the commercial exploration of the Internet as a global communication infrastructure, electronic varieties of negotiations have started to gain momentum in manifold shapes from negotiation support systems to electronic auctions to automated agent-based negotiations both in theory and in practice. Research in e-negotiations focuses on protocols that support negotiations about multiple attributes, attribute combinations or frame contracts, and involve complex interactions and communication acts. The purpose of this special issue of Group Decision and Negotiation is to provide a forum for topics addressing e-negotiations from theoretical and empirical perspectives. This special issue intends to incorporate a wide array of e-negotiation issues, protocols and systems. Papers based on research from both academia and industry are encouraged. Papers dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics are invited: * Negotiation and mediation on electronic markets * E-negotiation software platforms * Web-based negotiations support systems * Negotiation protocols and design issues * Negotiation software agents * E-negotiation case studies and experiments * On-line auctions and negotiations * Negotiations in supply-chain and EDI systems * Social, cultural and psychological aspects of e-negotiations * Trust and relationship building in e-negotiations Submission Guidelines: All submissions must be in English, should represent original work of the author(s), and must not have been published/accepted for publication or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Fwd: CFP: IS/IT Evaluation - Special Issue, J of Logistics and Information Management
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Mar '02

08 Mar '02

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: IS/IT Evaluation - Special Issue, J of Logistics and Information Management Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 12:29:53 -0000 From: Jim Hughes <j.hughes(a)SALFORD.AC.UK> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE Journal of Logistics and Information Management Special Issue: Information Systems / Information Technology Evaluation CALL FOR PAPERS There is a shared concern amongst IS/IT practitioners and academics relating to the lack of confidence in the returns on IS investment and the methods used to evaluate the systems and the technology. Paradoxically the global expenditure on IS and IT is increasing, with businesses investing heavily in new technology. Yet, questions surrounding the basis for increased spending and how it should be justified remain? Are the approaches and methods used for IS/IT evaluation flawed in some way? Are there alternative approaches to evaluation in this area that can provide the needed confidence? The aim of this special issue is to attempt to address these questions and others with a view to provide an understanding of the issues for researchers, IS/IT professionals and decision makers. Specifically the issue seeks articles that address the underlying assumptions and approaches relating to the IS/IT evaluation process. With the help of the articles in this issue one should be able to better understand the constructs associated with more practically useful approaches to the evaluation of IS and IT. The scope of the special issue will be to present IS practitioners, senior managers and decision makers a practical basis for IT/IS evaluation. Emphasis will be placed on practice and as such collaborative work with an experienced practitioner community is to be encouraged. Case studies and outcomes from action research projects are similarly encouraged as are contributions which deal with the issues from perspectives not widely represented in this area such as human, social, organisational or political perspectives. The editors will be particularly interested to receive articles relating to the public sector. Contributions may deal with but are not limited to: Methodologies for IS/IT Investment Appraisal Qualitative and Qauntitative Evaluation Approaches Organisational Aspects of IS Evaluation Social and Human Aspects of IS Evaluation Managing Risks in IS Investment Evaluation of Global-reach Systems and Technology (eg ERP,e-commerce) Approaches and Strategies for Implementing IS/IT Benchmarking Benchmarking IS/IT in New Organisational Forms Evaluation of e-initiatives (eg e-government, e-commerce, e-business) Research Methods for IS/IT Evaluation Submission guidelines and important dates Contributors should follow the guidance given in the notes to be found at http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals/lim/notes.htm Submission of Papers: 31st May 02 Referee Comments to Authors: 30th July 02 Submission of Final Papers: 15th Sept 02 Publication of Special Issue Planned for 2003 Contact details For informal discussions about the call please contact either of the guest editors Steve Jones, Dr. Jim Hughes Conwy Borough Council IS Institute, University of Salford steve.jones(a)conwy.gov.uk j.hughes(a)salford.ac.uk Submissions should be sent to Steve Jones. ___________________________________________________________________ |The Sender assumes responsibility that this message conforms to the |ISWorld list policy and conditions of use available at: |http://www.isworld.org/isworldlist |----------------------- 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 |___________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------------------------------

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS - Electronic Commerce Research Journal Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 09:22:21 -0600 From: Mike Raisinghani <mraising(a)GSM.UDALLAS.EDU> To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE CALL FOR PAPERS Electronic Commerce Research Journal Special Issue: Electronic Commerce in Developing Countries The convergence between computing and data telecommunication technologies and the resultant advent of the Internet may have profound effects on developing countries similar to those already experienced and expected in the future in other countries of the world. The way developing countries respond to the many implications of the Internet, and especially those relevant to Electronic Commerce (EC), will undoubtedly have a significant influence on the social, political, cultural, and economic development of these societies. The failure of managers, administrators, and politicians in public and private organizations in these countries to understand how to exploit EC in accordance with their national culture(s) will only act as a barrier rather than an enabler of development. The purpose of this special issue of Electronic Commerce Research Journal is to provide a forum for topics addressing EC issues in developing countries. Conceptual and empirical contributions from authors around the world are strongly encouraged. This special issue intends to incorporate a wide array of EC issues in developing countries. Papers based on research from both academia and industry are encouraged. Papers dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics are invited: · Effects of EC on public- and private-sector organizations · Effects of EC on social, economic and political structures and functions · Effects of EC on national relations between developing countries · Effects of EC on relations between developing and developed countries · EC strategy issues at organizational and national levels · EC infrastructure issues · EC education and training issues · EC implementation issues · EC measurement and evaluation issues · EC ethical and legal issues · EC trust and security issues Submission Guidelines: All submissions must be in English, should represent original work of the author(s), and must not have been published/accepted for publication or currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All contributions will be subjected to a double-blind review process. Manuscripts should be prepared according to Electronic Commerce Research Journal format (http://www.baltzer.nl/journalhome.htm/1389-5753). There is no page limit on paper submissions.

Fwd: (SEWORLD) CFP: WWW2002 Workshop on Real World RDF and Semantic Web Applications
by Uwe Zdun 08 Mar '02

08 Mar '02

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: (SEWORLD) CFP: WWW2002 Workshop on Real World RDF and Semantic Web Applications Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 07:33:14 -0700 (MST) From: Vipul Kashyap <vipul_kashyap(a)yahoo.com> To: seworld(a)cs.colorado.edu First WWW 2002 Workshop on Real World RDF and Semantic Web Applications In Conjunction with WWW 2002 7 May 2002 Honolulu, Hawaii, USA http://paul.rutgers.edu/~kashyap/workshop.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Special Book on Workshop Proceedings in the series "Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications" by IOS Press ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- SCOPE The Semantic Web is a key initiative being promoted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as the next generation of the current web. The objective of this workshop is to discuss commercial applications that make immediate advances and to gain insight into the evolution of semantic web technology. Early commercial applications that make use of machine-understandable metadata range from information retrieval to Web-enabling of old-tech IBM 3270 sessions. Current developments include metadata-based Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) systems, data modeling solutions, and wireless applications. Machine-understandable metadata is emerging as a new foundation for component-based approaches to application development. Within the context of reusable distributed components, Web services represent the latest architectural advancement. RDF Servers enable these two concepts to be synthesized providing powerful new mechanisms for quickly modeling, creating and deploying complex applications that readily adapt to real world needs. At the same time, we welcome submissions that describe applications which are trying to achieve the above goal through the use of other specifications such as WSDL, UDDI, SOAP, ebXML, XML, possibly in conjunction with transformation languages such as XSLT, RuleML, etc. We invite submissions that discuss real applications (piloted, deployed, robust prototypes) attacking real world problems in the Semantic Web arena today instead of the future. This potentially means very pragmatic decisions (e.g., executable agents that run in the context of graph-based application models) caused by the limitations of today's technology (e.g., are there robust/scalable RDF parsers, stores, and inference engines?). Submissions that also address issues related to the business aspects, e.g., is there a market ?, is there a sustainable value proposition ?, what is the business model, etc., will receive special consideration.
