[Fwd: [isworld] Call for Papers: MIS Quarterly Special Issue on Cocreating IT Value]
by Gustaf Neumann 04 Oct '08

04 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers: MIS Quarterly Special Issue on Cocreating IT Value Datum: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 16:42:48 -0400 Von: Janice DeGross <degro003(a)umn.edu> Antwort an: Janice DeGross <degro003(a)umn.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The MIS Quarterly is issuing a Call for Papers for a Special Issue on Cocreating IT Value: New Capabilities and Metrics for Multi-Firm Environments. The guest editors for this special issue are Varun Grover (Clemson University -- vgrover(a)clemson.edu) and Rajiv Kohli (College of William & Mary -- rajiv.kohli(a)mason.wm.edu). The submission deadline is October 15, 2009. The special issue focuses on understanding how IT value emanates from digital capabilities in multi-firm environments. The intent is to encourage researchers to respond to this call by improving theoretical development and metrics for such environments, ultimately increasing the pragmatic value of IT value research. Most research on IT value has examined relationships between IT investments and organizational outcomes. More recently, the thesis has expanded to examining complementary resources, capabilities and other mediating factors in value creation. However, given the centrality of the IT value question to our field, it is important to expand the agenda to include how to best cocreate value from IT in multi-organizational forms. These forms raise new issues of value creation, risk allocation, complementary investments, capability building, adoption, absorption and incentives among collaborating organizations. The special issue focuses on understanding how IT value emanates from digital capabilities in multi-firm environments. The intent is to encourage researchers to respond to this call by improving theoretical development and metrics for such environments, ultimately increasing the pragmatic value of IT value research.

[Fwd: [isworld] Final Reminder: Submissions for JITCAR special issue on Technology-enabled Social Networks]
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Oct '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Final Reminder: Submissions for JITCAR special issue on Technology-enabled Social Networks Datum: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 19:54:50 -0400 Von: Salvatore Parise <sparise(a)babson.edu> Antwort an: Salvatore Parise <sparise(a)babson.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Technology-Enabled Social Networks Special Issue Announcement for Journal of Information Technology Case and Application Research (JITCAR) Submission deadline: October 1, 2008 Author notification: January 15, 2009 Final Revisions due: April 15, 2009 Please contact the special issue editor Salvatore Parise, sparise(a)babson.edu, with any questions. Social networks are typically defined as the people-to-people connections in organizations that depict the information flows used to get work accomplished. Researchers in many fields including management and information systems have increasingly used social network analysis as a methodology to understand both the structure of the network as well as people�s positions in the network. This analysis has been very helpful in identifying and understanding silos due to geographic, organizational, and cultural barriers, as well as the performance implications of employees in various positions in the network, such as central, peripheral, and broker positions. Increasingly, social collaboration IT tools, commonly known as Web 2.0, are being used by organizations to connect employees. A major benefit from using collaborative IT tools, such as blogs, wikis, on-line communities, and user tagging systems, is that it provides employees with access to knowledge � through connections to both people and documents - that they can then use in their individual work as well as on group projects. There is evidence that these tools are increasingly being used to build social connections, collaboration, affinity, and friendships/relationships among employees. In this JITCAR special issue (http://faculty.babson.edu/gordon/jitcar/index.htm), we are looking to explore the research question: What impacts are these social collaboration IT tools having on the social network and ultimately business results? We are interested in case and application research articles that focus on (but are not limited to): � The relationships between IT networks, social networks, and performance impacts � Qualitative and quantitative evidence of how these social IT tools are impacting employee and group collaboration and affinity � Case studies that describe IT networks and its impacts on innovation, decision-making, and talent management � The impacts that these IT networks are having on knowledge management, including the awareness, creation, and exploitation of employee expertise � A description of the types of social collaboration IT tools and important design features that enable social networks � Theoretical and methodological contributions related to understanding IT networks, including defining meaningful constructs and ways of measuring IT network structure and people�s positions in the IT network This special issue on social IT networks is planned to be published in the second quarter 2009 edition of JITCAR. The timetable for submitting manuscripts for this special issue is as follows: Submission deadline: October 1, 2008 Author notification: January 15, 2009 Final Revisions due: April 15, 2009 The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CALL FOR PAPERS ViWo 2009 Datum: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 11:29:27 +0200 Von: Mohammad Smadi <msmadi(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at> An: Mohammad Smadi <msmadi(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at> *** Apologies for Cross Postings **** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 1st Special Track on Virtual Worlds for academic, organizational, and life-long learning (ViWo 2009) Jordan, Amman, April 23, 2009 http://www.iicm.edu/ViWo2009 In conjunction with 4th International Conference on Interactive Mobile and Computer Aided Learning (IMCL2009) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ViWo 2009 - 23. April 2009 - Amman, Jordan First Special Track on Virtual Worlds for academic, organizational, and life-long learning (ViWo 2009) Online Information: http://www.iicm.tugraz.at/viwo2009 This CfP is also available as PDF: http://www.iicm.tugraz.at/ViWo2009/ViWo2009-CfP.pdf This special track will take place during IMCL 2009 in Amman, Jordan (22-24 April 2009) as a special programme item. The Special Track ViWo 2009 provides an interdisciplinary forum for international scientists and practitioners to discuss various aspects of learning and training in virtual worlds. The 4th International Conference on Interactive Mobile and Computer Aided Learning, IMCL2009, which will be hosted by Princess Sumaya University for Technology, Amman, Jordan. The conference is part of an international initiative to promote technology-enhanced learning and online engineering world-wide organized under the umbrella of the International Association of Online Engineering. Background Our society of the 21st century makes great demands on its members caused by rapid developing and ever-changing political, social, economical and technological situations. Consequently, it is expected that members of the society keep pace with these mutable situations, adapt their skills and expertise. As a result, modern instructional design, learning goals and processes as well as appropriate learning environments must support the development of the aforementioned skills and expertises. Consequently, educational approaches have changed dramatically over time from less formal schooling in the agrarian society to remedial repetitive learning in the industrialization age to learning with an understanding in today’s knowledge society. Based on that, different modern educational strategies have been developed which includes aspects such as self-directed learning, collaborative learning, experiential-based learning and actively participating. Educational approaches have also been influenced by technology but have also increasingly applied technology over the last decades, such as motion pictures, radio, television, computers and other emerging information and communication technologies (ICT). Last year’s hype surrounding the virtual world “Second Life” has also generated significant interest in the education community. Although virtual worlds have been an active research topic for a long time, technology was not ready for complex application scenarios since recent years. New interesting and powerful platforms and tools, such as Second Life, Active Worlds, Multiverse, Open Croquet, OpenSim and Sun’s 3D Wonderland, have been emerged applicable to complement or even replace other knowledge transfer and learning settings. Modern virtual worlds are seen from an optimistic viewpoint as a disruptive and transformative technology. However, it still remains unclear to some extent where the real benefits and limitations of using virtual worlds as knowledge transfer and learning environments are when compared to more traditional methods. In order to avoid the same pitfalls of past e-learning solutions by just applying traditional learning approaches to a new technology, this special track is indented to offer a multidisciplinary platform which brings together international researchers from different organizations in order to share their experience with this technology. The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organisations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. We invite submissions of papers in the categories research, development, evaluation and best practices that deal with virtual worlds for academic, organizational, and life-long learning issues including, but not limited to: * Technological approaches, their limitations and how to overcome them * Virtual worlds and mobile learning * Virtual learning space design and architecture * Modern learning settings * Didactic and cognitive aspects * New learning and teaching activities * Interaction and behavior patterns * Distance and blended learning * Organizational learning, vocational training and certification * Academic learning, assessment and feedback * Collaborative and social learning * Mixed Virtual world and classroom learning * Knowledge Transfer and Collaboration * Artificial Intelligence Approaches * Usability and Human-Computer-Interaction Important Dates * 15 November 2008: Submission of the full papers (6 pages) * 15 December 2008: Notification of acceptance * 15 January 2009: Author Registration Deadline * 15 February 2009: Camera ready version (6 pages) * 22 - 24 April 2009: IMCL 2008 Conference Submission Procedure File Types: DOC, RTF or PDF-file Language: English (British or US) Style Guides & Template: http://209.61.205.141/form/IMCL2009%20Template.doc Paper Submission System: Please use the Electronic Submission Page http://www.conftool.net/imcl-conference/ In case of problems or questions concerning the submission of papers, please contact the track chairs at ViWo2009(a)iicm.edu <mailto:ViWo2009@iicm.edu>.
