[Fwd: [isworld] eJOV - Alternative formats of scholarly publications and TOC]
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Jun '08

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] eJOV - Alternative formats of scholarly publications and TOC Datum: Sat, 28 Jun 2008 11:02:44 +0200 Von: Stefan Klein <klein(a)wi.uni-muenster.de> Antwort an: Stefan Klein <klein(a)wi.uni-muenster.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> eJOV - The Electronic Journal for Virtual Organizations and Networks (www.ejov.org) Editorial: Alternative formats of scholarly publications Academia worldwide is moving in the direction of viewing journal papers as the most accepted and highly rated genre of academic work. This trend has been strongly supported by the "publish-or-perish" reward systems for individual researchers, which prioritizes the publication outlet - assessed in form of journal rankings - over the substance and contribution of a publication. While the research paper has clear benefits in terms of focus, brevity and comparability, it is obvious that the research paper format - within the constraints of 5.000 - 10.000 words (with notable exceptions) - is too restrictive for several types of research outputs. While paper based journals have to limit the space that they can offer for individual publications, eJOV as an online journal is not bound by the same space restrictions. Therefore we decided to recognize alternative formats of scholarly work for publication. With the introduction of the additional genre "eJOV Reports", we are committed to maintaining the quality criteria for submissions, i.e. that they will be subject to the same double blind review process as journal papers. eJOV Reports are meant to facilitate the publication of research and its discussion of conceptual foundations, methodological considerations, methods (including full questionnaires), primary data, or rich case descriptions. We would like to remind authors that reviewers' - and eventually the readers' - time is precious and therefore publishable reports need to make as efficient use of space as other publications. Authors therefore are asked to provide a brief rationale as to why they have chosen the report format. eJOV Reports particularly aims at facilitating rich case descriptions and their analysis, as well as providing insights into the research process, with the development and use of research instruments, detailed results, elaborate discussion and conclusions. With this format, eJOV aims to support the research process by facilitating the exchange of deeper theoretical, methodological or epistemological reflections. We invite submissions of research reports and other alternative formats of scholarly work that fit the scope of eJOV. Bernhard Katzy, Stefan Klein (Editors-in-chief) The first eJOV report and contribution to eJOV's 10th volume "Assessment of the Development Trajectory for Real-Time Communication" by Frank Frössler, UCD, and Stefan Klein, University of Münster, presents a Delphi study. Next to a detailed analysis, the report covers the questionnaire which was used for the Delphi study, to enable the readers to better judge on the results and stimulate discussion on the Delphi method. Abstract This research report presents the results of a Delphi study on Real-time Communication (RTC), a recently emerging genre of communication and collaboration technology. So far, only a few empirically informed attempts have been made to conceptualize the technology and predict future trends in the young and dynamic RTC market. Therefore, a Delphi study with sixteen experts from academia, industry, and technology providers was conducted to discuss the positioning of RTC, market trends, implementation/ design issues, and the implications of RTC use on the organizational and individual level. The results indicate that RTC, interpreted as complementary to existing ICT, is expected make inroad into people's ICT landscape. The trend will go from simple stand-alone application towards add-ons to existing products, such as groupware or business packages. Moreover, in contrast to the often overly-optimistic business media, experts agree that RTC represent complex information systems whose outcome in organizations are difficult to predict. Instead, experts point out that the complex and highly situated character of RTC use needs to be taken into account. While this comprehensive report may identify potential starting points for future research, practitioners could benefit from it by being sensitized for the advantages, limitations and dangers associated with RTC use. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof. Dr. Stefan Klein Editor-in-Chief The Electronic Journal for Virtual Organizations and Networks www.eJOV.org mailto: stefan.klein(a)ejov.org The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

The significance of these topics has dramatically increased over the last few years as a result of numerous events that led to some of the largest scandals in corporate history. Compliance related software and services are expected to reach a market value of over $27billion this year. At the same time, facilitating compliant business process execution is increasingly complex due to the growing number of regulations, frequent and dynamic changes, as well as shared processes and services executing in highly decentralized environments. In the age of outsourcing, dynamic business networks, and global commerce, it is inevitable that organizations will need to develop methods, tools and techniques to design, engineer, and assess processes and services that meet regulatory standards and contractual obligations. We expect Governance, Risk and Compliance to play a significant part in several applications, from transaction systems to management reporting infrastructures. GRC is emerging as a critical and challenging area of research and innovation. It introduces, among others, the need for new or adapted modeling approaches for compliance requirements, the extension of process and service modeling and execution frameworks for compliance and risk management, and the detection of policy violations. The goal of the special issue is to provide an outlet for researchers from diverse backgrounds that contribute to this emerging area and make a consolidated contribution in the form of new and extended methods that address the challenges of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. Topics Potential topics include but are not limited to: -Compliance and Risk Modeling -Policy definition and enforcement -Compliant service and process design -Noncompliant process identification -Risk management -Visualization and simulation of risk in process models -Governance processes -Integration and effectuation of multiple regulatory standards -Compliance, risk and tolerance metrics -Organizational structures to support compliance -Separation of duties/Separation of rights -Decision tracing -Data provenance and lineage -Work tracking -Violation detection -Technologies for compliance assurance -Applications, case studies and use cases Paper submission Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or PDF format no later than July 31st, 2008 to http://www.editorialmanager.com/isfi/ (please specify: �For Special issue on Governance, Risk and Compliance in IS� in the submission).

The purpose of this workshop series is to provide an open forum for e-business researchers and practitioners to share research findings, explore novel ideas, discuss success stories and lessons learned, map out major challenges, and collectively chart future directions of e-business. The theme of this year's workshop is "Designing e-Business Systems: Markets, Services and Networks". The thematic emphases for the past workshops (2002 to 2007) were mobile commerce, Web services, dynamic and service-oriented e-business, Web-enabled business values, the real-world impact of e-Business research, and customer-centric information systems respectively. With this year's workshop being located in Europe, we feel that the increasing importance of the design science approach, which has a long tradition in the European IS research, should be reflected in the workshop theme. We thus hope to stimulate discussions on how to overcome the barriers to the full acceptance of this approach and how it should and can be advanced.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: ICEC'08 Workshop on Product Data Management Datum: Wed, 18 Jun 2008 12:46:40 +0200 Von: Heiner Stuckenschmidt <heiner(a)informatik.uni-mannheim.de> An: <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org>, <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de>, <wkwi(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de>, <dbworld(a)cs.wisc.edu>, <ecommerce-l(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Papers ICEC'08 Workshop on Product Data Management http://ki.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pdm08.html Located at the International Conference on Electronic Commerce http://www.icec08.org/ August 19th 2008, Innsbruck, Austria B2B Electronic business relies on the seamless exchange of information between the enterprises involved. This workshop focuses on the specific case of product data involved in B2B electronic business. Supporting the exchange is a major challenge. Especially in technical domains where the exchange of product information is necessary for engineering processes, product descriptions are often very complex and the business partners have very specific requirements posing special challenges with respect to data modelling, -integration and validation. Further, as a result of shorter innovation cycles and a focus on customized solutions there is an increasing need for providing advanced customization and configuration services to potential customers. Traditionally, product data mostly resides in intra-organizational systems, especially ERP, product data management (PDM), and, more recently, product life-cycle management (PLM) systems. These Systems are typically used for internal data management. Using them as a basis for publishing and exchanging product data between enterprises and providing advanced services such as matchmaking, customization and configuration of complex products from components is a major challenge. As successful solutions show, an integration of internal data management and e-business solutions provides major benefits as it reduces the manual effort needed to feed data into the e-business applications. Further, integrated solutions ensure consistency and up-to-dateness of the product catalogues. Solutions to successful product data management have to include technical as well as organizational aspects. On the technical side, a number of product classification such as eClass and UNSPSC and product dictionaries (sometimes called product ontologies or reference libraries) have been developed, often based on standards like ISO 13584 and ISO 15926. In addition, STEP standards have been developed for the exchange of product models and geometry information. For all these representations of product data, different kind of exchange format exists, ranging from simple table structures (csv files) to XML structures like BMEcat or OntoML to STEP physical files. In parallel, new developments in the area of semantic technologies promise to facilitate advanced integration, matchmaking and configuration functionalities. Product Ontologies that can be derived from existing standards on the one hand and Rules and Constraint-based systems on the other hand are the basis for promising approaches. Aim of the Workshop The workshop aims at identifying challenges and open problems related to the use of internal product data for advanced e-business solutions as well as examples of promising approaches and successful solutions to the problem. In particular, we want to discuss the role of existing standards on the one hand and the use of semantic technologies such as ontologies and rule languages as a basis for advanced ecommerce services related to complex products on the other hand. An important question in this context is on the complementarity of existing standards and semantic technologies. Topics of Interest We invite research papers as well as statements of interest and experience reports on the following topics: * Product Lifecycle Management and Electronic Business * Product Classifications and Product Data Exchange Standards * Semantic Modelling of Products and Product Classes * Integration and Conversion of Product Data * Matchmaking for Complex Product Descriptions * Product Configuration and Customization The workshop aims at bridging between research and practical problems in the area of product data management, we therefore especially invite contributions from industry. Submissions Contributions should be submitted to the review management system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=pdm08 no later than July 15th. We consider contributions of the following form: * Full Papers (max 8 Pages) * Short Papers (max 4 Pages) * Statements of Interest (1 Page) The authors of all accepted contribution will get the opportunity to present their ideas in the workshop. The lenghts of the presentation slots will be determined based on the amount of submissions received. Papers should be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Style (Word and Latex Templates are available at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). We plan to publish post-proceedings of the workshop either as part of the ACM digital library or in terms of a special Issue of a journal in the area.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: Special Issue on Distributed Participatory Design Datum: Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:01:31 +0200 Von: Dorina Gumm <gumm(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de> Antwort an: Dorina Gumm <gumm(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Apologies for cross-postings. ************************************************************* Distributed PD: Challenges and Opportunities Special Issue for Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems www.distributedpd.com ************************************************************* Call for Papers Theme: This Special Issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Information Systems invites submissions addressing the challenges and opportunities of conducting Participatory Design (PD) in distributed projects, here referred to as Distributed PD. Originally, PD was developed with a focus on co-located design activities, where the users and designers meet face-to-face in order to establish some common ground. As such, PD becomes challenging in projects that involve a large number of users and stakeholders, who may be distributed across space, time and organizational structures. Some research in the field of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has considered how to support such distributed projects. Although little research in the CSCW community has explicitly focused on PD, the two communities could benefit from each other. For example, researchers in the area of CSCW have studied how to effectively facilitate communication and knowledge sharing. However, the focus here lies on the software for collaborative work rather than supporting participatory design approaches across spatial, temporal and organizational distances. Moreover, PD does not necessarily argue for, or include, computers in order to support group work during design. In addition to this, the area of distributed software development (DSD) provides research on communication and coordination in (globally) distributed software development. Yet, such research lacks consideration of participation between stakeholders. Today, the number of complex web-based information systems is increasing, which brings new challenges. For example, a possible breakdown of division of labor between new types of distributed specialists entering the design process. PD is undeniably challenged by distributed project settings, although PD has already been applied in distributed projects (cf. presented work at the workshops on DPD at NordiCHI 2006 and at CHI 2008). This Special Issue recognizes and promotes the relevance of PD in distributed project settings. The objective of the Special Issue is to unify the successes and failures of processes, methods and tools used to facilitate PD in distributed settings. More information and a complete CfP can be found at www.distributedpd.com. *Recommended topics* for papers to be included in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: - Tools to enable direct user participation. - Methods and processes to enable direct user participation. - Methods, processes, tools to study distributed PD. - Evaluation of distributed PD processes and methods. - Evaluation of PD approaches for distributed contexts. - Methodological considerations for studying DPD. - Theoretical research on distributed PD. - Principals and issues. - Case studies of distributed PD. - Distributed PD in different application domains. *Guest Editors:* - Amir Naghsh, Dr., Faculty of Art, Computing, Engineering and Science, Sheffield Hallam University, England.
