[Fwd: Information Systems 2009 (Barcelona, Spain): submit until 19 November]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Information Systems 2009 (Barcelona, Spain): submit until 19 November Datum: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 00:47:19 +0200 (SAST) Von: Ana Sofia <ana.sofia(a)is-conf.org> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at ** Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students.** -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline (1st call extension): 19 November 2008 ************************************************************* IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2009 February 25-27, 2009 – Barcelona, SPAIN (http://www.is-conf.org/) ************************************************************* * Conference background and goals A new paradigm is sweeping the society, organisations and the business environment. In fact, society and business world alike are moving from its tangible bases to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS) to support its management, use and sharing. In this emerging paradigm, terms like information, communication, knowledge, and learning have acquired a critical relevance to the understanding of the nature of contemporary business. This led authors such as Drucker (1993) to state that "we are entering the knowledge society in which the basic economic resource... is knowledge". In fact, since the mid-1980s, there has been a sudden avalanche of a new kind of vocabulary. Corporations, which so far had been economic entities, are being described as "information-based organizations", "learning organizations", "knowledge-creating companies" or knowledge intensive organisations. Instead of product-market strategies, the fashionable business discourse invokes core competencies, intangible assets, knowledge-based capabilities, intellectual capital, knowledge management etc. Consequently, in this 21st century of ours, terms such as intellectual capital, knowledge management, and knowledge mapping have increasingly become part of the corporate landscape. However, none of this apparent revolution would be possible without the underlying technological support provided by IS. The IADIS Information Systems Conference (IS 2009) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS taking a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems. * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * A set of key issues has been identified (see below). However, these do not aim at being prescriptive, or set in stone, and any innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be considered. Areas and Topics of the conference will focus on: IS in Practice, Technology Infrastructures and Organisational Processes - Power, Cultural, Behavioural and Political issues - New Organisational Forms - Dilution of Organisational Boundaries - The centrality of IS and IT in Organisational Processes - IS Management - Information Management - Knowledge Management - IS and SMEs - Innovation and IS - Innovation and Knowledge Management - IS and Change Management - IS and Organisation Development - Enterprise Application Integration - Enterprise Resource Planning - Business Process Change IS Design, Development and Management Issues and Methodologies - Design and Development Methodologies and Frameworks - Iterative and Incremental Methodologies - Agile Methodologies - IS Design and Development as a Component-Based Process - IS Design and Development as Social Negotiation Process - IS D Design and Development as a Global and Distributed Process - Outsourcing in IS - Outsourcing Risks, Barriers and Opportunities - IS Project Management - IS Quality Management and Assurance - IS Standards and Compliance Issues - Risk Management in IS - Risk Management in IS Design and Development IS Professional Issues - Ethical, social, privacy, security and moral issues in an e-society - The role of information in the information society - Myths, taboos and misconceptions in IS - Practitioner and Research Relationship, Projects and Links - Validity, Usefulness and Applicability of IS Academic Research - Industrial Research versus Academic Research Issues - Industry Innovation and Leadership and Academic Laggards - IS consultancy as a profession - Organisational IS Roles - Communities of practice and Knowledge Sharing IS Research - Core Theories, Conceptualisations and Paradigms in IS Research - Ontological Assumptions in IS Research - IS Research Constraints, Limitations and Opportunities - IS vs Computer Science Research - IS vs Business Studies - Positivist, Interpretivist and Critical Approaches to IS Research - Quantitative vs. Qualitative Methods - Deductive vs Inductive Approaches - Multi-method Approaches and Triangulations in IS Research - Design Research and the Sciences of the Artificial in IS - Multidisciplinary Views and Multi Methodological Approaches - New and alternative approaches to IS research - Examples of experimental research designs in IS IS Learning and Teaching - Patterns of Demand for IS Teaching Provision - Fads, Fashions and Fetishes in IS Curricula - Pedagogic practice in Teaching IS - E-Learning in IS - Instructional Design for IS - National Cultures and Approaches to Pedagogy - Multiculturality ad Diversity Issues in IS Learning and Teaching * Important Dates: - Submission deadline (1st call extension): 19 November 2008 - Notification to Authors (1st call extension): 17 December 2008 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration (1st call extension): Until 12 January 2009 - Late Registration (1st call extension): After 12 January 2009 - Conference: Barcelona, Spain, 25 to 27 February 2009 * Secretariat IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2009 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3, 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)is-conf.org Web site: http://www.is-conf.org/ * Program Committee Conference Chair Professor Philip Powell, Deputy Dean, University of Bath, UK Program Co-Chairs Miguel Baptista Nunes, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Committee Members: for the full Committee Members list please access http://www.is-conf.org/committees.asp * Co-located events Please also check the co-located events: e-Society 2009 (http://www.esociety-conf.org/) - 25-28 February 2009 Mobile Learning 2009 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/) - 26-28 February 2009 * Registered participants in the Information Systems´ conference may attend Mobile Learning and e-Society conferences´ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://stats.images11.com/home/r.asp> subscribe <http://stats.images11.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=1225…> forward <http://stats.images11.com/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&Hit…> unsubscribe <http://stats.images11.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neum…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.

Lytras] News: The First World Conference on Web Science 16-18 September 2009, Athens, Greece http://ra.crema.unimi.it/icws2009/index.php?id=main.htm IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part A: Systems and Humans seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on The Human Semantic Web scheduled to appear in a late 2009 issue. The Semantic Web vision has evolved in the last years as a blueprint for a knowledge-based framework aimed at crossing the chasm from the current Web of unstructured information resources to a Web equipped with metadata and oriented to delegation of tasks to software agents. In spite of the orientation of Semantic Web technology to machine processing, a large part of useful Semantic Web applications require the building of semantic user models, and semantic end-user interfaces. The increasing popularity of open social systems has contributed an additional dimension to the complex picture of bringing semantics to the Web. Ontologies are the key piece of this framework in that they provide shared semantics to metadata, thus enabling a degree of semantic interoperability. The challenge of building person- and social-oriented semantic systems requires the integration of personal and social information models with domain and commonsense ontologies. Also, there is a need to combine metaknowledge on user interface and usability issues along with models of social networks, which may result in hybrid systems. Going a step further, cultural issues pervade the meaning of everyday�s objects and communication, so that successful applications need to consider these aspects. The special issue aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research in systems engineering and human machine systems as applied to the context of personal and social information in the Semantic Web. The scope of the call includes systems engineering and human machine systems for organizational applications, Semantic Web approaches to Information Systems and Ontology-Based Information Systems research, as well as the diverse underlying personalization aspects, as long as they touch social, interface, cultural or personal issues. Papers dealing with aspects that touch several of these aspects are especially sought.Topics include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Applications of the Human Semantic Web to the Knowledge Society: � Potentially large-scale applications (e.g. to Personal Knowledge Management, Semantic Desktop, Knowledge Portals) � Data Semantics and Web Semantics in peer-to-peer systems, grids, multimedia � Communication, dialogue and argumentation models � Mediation, negotiation and conflict resolution � Beyond HCI: Human-to-human interaction mediated by machines 2. Representing and Managing Semantic Web Data and Services: � Languages, Tools, Methodologies, Rules � Database, IR and AI technologies � Integration, Analysis and Visualization � Robust and scalable logics, knowledge management and reasoning � Machine learning and information extraction � Semantic Interoperability, Workflows, Web Mining � Semantic Web Services and Processes (description, discovery, invocation, composition, choreography, cleaning, assurance, trust, provenance, etc.) � Middleware and services for Personalization and User Modelling � Semantic matching of user needs and web resources 3. Ontologies: � Ontology Alignment (mapping, matching, merging, mediation and reconciliation) � Ontology Learning and Metadata Generation (e.g. HLT and ML approaches) � Ontology Management (creation, evolution, evaluation, etc.) � Ontology Modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution � Searching and Ranking ontologies 4. Social Semantic Web: � Social networks and processes on the Semantic Web � Semantic web technology for collaboration and cooperation � Representing and reasoning about Trust, Privacy, Security and Intellectual Property Rights � Tools and processes for sense-making, analysis and decision-making � Supporting goal-focused conversations and strategic communication � Human semantic recommender systems and delegatory systems (eg agents and avatars) � Risks of using such systems for a human's reputation and authority 5. User Interfaces: � Interacting with Semantic Web Data � Semantic Web content creation and annotation � Mashing up Semantic Web data and processes Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere.

[Fwd: [WI] CFP AMCIS 2009 mini-track 'Aligning Business and IT Service Management']

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP AMCIS 2009 mini-track 'Aligning Business and IT Service Management' Datum: Mon, 3 Nov 2008 10:18:41 +0100 Von: Tilo Böhmann (ISS Hamburg) <boehmann(a)iss-hamburg.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers for the Mini Track Aligning Business and IT Service Management AMCIS - Americas Conference on Information Systems San Francisco, USA, August 6-9, 2009 http://amcis2009.aisnet.org/ Purpose IT Service Management has become an accepted good practice for internal and external service providers. The associated management disciplines focus providers on agreeing operational and financial performance standards with their customers and deliver services that reliably meet these objectives. While the focus on operational performance was clearly helpful in the initial stages of IT service management and process outsourcing/offshoring, IT services now have the potential to become relevant strategic assets and impact entire business models. This requires a fresh perspective on IT service management from a strategic lens. For one, the ubiquity of IT in products and the growing use of information systems to support business services let IT service management become an integral part of the value delivery systems of many enterprises. For example, e-business systems and self-service systems on the web routinely extend IT services to many firm's end-customers. Likewise, the diffusion of remote services technology in many technology products pushes manufacturing firms into becoming providers of IT services. Managing the portfolio of IT services thus needs to integrate with the strategic planning and innovation processes of these firms. Even more, the opportunities that come with the emerging Web-based service industries will lead to new business models, decreasing importance of regional and organizational boundaries and require new models of business-IT alignment. The vision of business networks based on interrelated service ecosystems in which entire business processes are composed out of available services now becomes reality. Firms are challenged in this environment with how they position themselves strategically, how to develop appropriate inter-organizational governance frameworks and how to source, aggregate, broker and channel a quickly growing number of highly innovative services. Suggested Topics This mini-track aims at accelerating high quality research in this fast developing domain and invites conceptual and empirical papers on completed research as well as research-in-progress papers. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following: - Service governance - Service alignment - New business models for IT services, e.g. for service aggregation and brokerage - IT service portfolio management / IT service product management - Embedding of IT services in business products and services - Inter-organizational IT service management - Management of IT-enabled service ecosystems - New service development for IT services - IT service performance management - Managing innovation-focused client-provider relationships for IT services - IT services from a service(-dominant) logic and the role of IT services in IT-enabled value co-creation Important Dates: - February 20, 2009: Deadline for Paper Submission - April 2, 2009: Notification of Paper Acceptance - April 20, 2009: Camera Ready Copy Due Mini-track chairs Tilo Böhmann ISS International Business School of Service Management Hamburg, Germany boehmann(a)iss-hamburg.de Michael Rosemann Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia m.rosemann(a)qut.edu.au Bo Edvardsson Karlstad University Karlstad, Sweden Bo.edvardsson(a)kau.se Helmut Krcmar Technische Universität München München, Germany krcmar(a)in.tum.de Prof. Dr. Tilo Böhmann ISS - International Business School of Service Management Hamburg Research Group Service Management Hans-Henny-Jahnn-Weg 9 22085 Hamburg (Germany) T: +49 (40) 53 69 91 - 50 F: +49 (40) 53 69 91 - 66 @: boehmann(a)iss-hamburg.de W: http://www.iss-hamburg.de -- Mailing-Liste: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: WI-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/mailman/listinfo/wi

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: JOSIT Special Issue on Innovation in Health Information Systems Datum: Sun, 2 Nov 2008 20:05:54 -0500 Von: Rosemary Stockdale <r.j.stockdale(a)massey.ac.nz> Antwort an: Rosemary Stockdale <r.j.stockdale(a)massey.ac.nz> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers � A Special Issue of the Journal of Systems and Information Technology on Innovation in Health Information Systems GUEST EDITORS Dr Rosemary Stockdale, Massey University, New Zealand r.j.stockdale(a)massey.ac.nz Dr Karen Day, University of Auckland, New Zealand k.day(a)auckland.ac.nz MOTIVATION AND OVERVIEW Healthcare delivery in the 21st century faces significant challenges as demand for more and improved services continues to grow. Ageing populations, the escalating incidence of chronic disease and higher expectations of health all contribute to increasing pressure on health services. The advantages of using Information Technology to provide much needed efficiencies within the health sector have long been recognised. Although adoption and use of such technologies has often been slow and piecemeal there have been significant advances and increasing maturity in e-health applications. The coming of age of Health Information Systems brings new challenges with the need to shift the focus towards dealing with the range of issues that e-health has produced such as interoperability, standards and innovation. Advances in newer technologies are adding more opportunities to develop innovative ways to improve the delivery of healthcare. The path to IT maturity requires that mission critical systems become embedded in every day work practices and new innovations are widely adopted in a sustainable and effective manner. Research in this area has reached a new and exciting stage and the proposed special issue invites research contributions that focus on innovations in health information systems. Topics include but are not limited to: - The use of emerging technologies to increase efficiencies for both health professionals and for non-clinical applications that support health services. - New models for improving communication between healthcare stakeholders - Electronic health records - Development of systems to enhance primary healthcare - Development and/or adaptation of systems to enhance person-centric healthcare - Uses of IT to improve clinicians� work processes - Challenges for change management and leadership - Project management and other aspects of implementation of information systems innovations in healthcare IMPORTANT DATES 16th February 2009 Due date for full paper submission 13th April 2009 Notification of acceptance 22th May 2009 Due date for Camera Ready Copy To be published in Issue 3 2009 (September).
