-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] IJEB CFP: "E-business Development in SME" (Submit by: 1 Oct 2008) Datum: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 13:46:17 +0800 Von: Eldon Y. Li <eli(a)calpoly.edu> Antwort an: Eldon Y. Li <eli(a)calpoly.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ****** International Journal of Electronic Business (IJEB) ****** Call for Papers ****** Special Issue on: "E-business Development in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" ISSN (Online): 1741-5063 - ISSN (Print): 1470-6067 Listed in ABI/INFORM, Cabell's, Computer Science Index, EBSCO, EI-Inspec, & Pascal Submit by OCT 01, 2008 Guest Editors: Prof. Lars Torsten Eriksson and Dr. Jens Hultman Jönköping International Business School, Sweden Introduction For more than a decade now, firms in countries with appropriate infrastructures in place have generally been able to exploit emerging Internet technologies for business purposes. The diffusion process has been very rapid. However, with regard to e-business adoption, several studies have shown that firm size is an important factor in driving a development in which small and medium-sized enterprises lag behind large firms in their intent and decision to adopt. Small and medium-sized enterprises are an important growth engine in the global economy. Small and medium-sized enterprises account for a major proportion of employment in the economy. For example, according to OECD, 90% of the firms in Europe are categorized as small. An increasingly improved infrastructure of ICT enables and facilitates for the small and medium-sized enterprise manager to turn to e-business. Given the promise that e-business development holds for the small and medium-sized enterprise manager, and although much has been written on e-commerce and e-business in recent years, there is yet much work left to be done. This special issue of the International Journal of Electronic Business aims to stimulate the creation of academic papers focused on the study of development of e-business in small and medium-sized enterprises, ultimately advancing the understanding of how the process of adoption of e-business evolves in the small business context. The special issue of the International Journal of Electronic Business will provide an insight on where we are now within the field including research overviews and current state-of-the-art research and also at where we are heading by proposing a future research agenda. Potential contributions may include: * Papers investigating the process of adoption of e-business among small and medium-sized enterprises * Theoretical and conceptual papers that focus on the development of e-business in small and medium-sized enterprises * Case studies of both successful and unsuccessful e-business development in small and medium-sized enterprises * Methodologies for the study of e-business development in small and medium-sized enterprises * Papers that investigate the diffusion of e-business among small and medium-sized enterprises Some of the topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * E-business adoption and non-adoption among small and medium-sized enterprises * Drivers and barriers of e-business development in small and medium-sized enterprises * The role of external parties in e-business development in small and medium-sized enterprises * Post-adoption challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises * E-business diffusion in small and medium-sized enterprises * Region, sector or industry specific studies on e-business among small and medium-sized enterprises * Extent of e-business use among small and medium-sized enterprises * The benefits of e-business among small and medium-sized enterprises * E-business and corporate culture in small and medium-sized enterprises * E-business and business renewal among small and medium-sized enterprises * International aspects of e-business for small and medium-sized enterprises * Trust, privacy and security issues in e-business for small and medium-sized enterprises * E-business and supply chains integration in small and medium-sized enterprises * E-commerce and distribution in small and medium-sized enterprises * Development of e-marketing for small and medium-sized enterprises * Emerging business models for e-business in small and medium-sized enterprises * Development of e-procurement for small and medium-sized enterprises * E-business and performance * Future e-challenges in small and medium-sized enterprises * Future directions for research on e-business development in small and medium-sized IMPORTANT DATES * Submission of papers: 1 October 2008 * Notification of acceptance: 1 February 2009 * Publication schedule: May-June 2009 *Submission Instructions* Papers must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A standard double-blind review process will be used to select papers for the special issue. The submitted manuscripts should follow the instructions as outlined in the Author Portal found on the IJEB Website (see URL below). Electronic submission in PDF format is required.

[Fwd: [isworld] JMIS Anniversary: JMIS 25, 1 is out]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] JMIS Anniversary: JMIS 25, 1 is out Datum: Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:19:55 -0400 Von: Vladimir Zwass <zwass(a)fdu.edu> Antwort an: Vladimir Zwass <zwass(a)fdu.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear Colleagues, >From the Editorial Introduction to JMIS 25, 1: Journal of Management Information Systems is celebrating the twenty-fifth year of publication. The first quarter-century of JMIS has witnessed its rise to a leadership position among the scholarly publications in the field of information systems (IS). More important, these years have seen the IS field become a rightful member of the family of disciplines, with its core subject and a coherent body of knowledge within which we deliver theory-based answers to ever new questions. It brings me joy and satisfaction to see that the Journal has contributed prominently and consistently to our field. It has always been the objective of JMIS to interpret the contour of our discipline broadly, and indeed expand it as time marches on. Centering on the development, use, impacts, and products of IS, our research has gained particular salience as the value-delivery webs are enabled by IS, as dominant firms are organized around their IS, as they deliver products that are fully or in a large part digital, and as our societies evolve around electronic relationships and interactions. It is especially in the impacts domain that our field can contribute at various levels of analysis and with a great methodological variety. It is by studying the impacts that we can feed back the knowledge we gain in order to develop organizational and supraorganizational structures, systems, and modalities of use that will lead us to higher levels of performance. Shrinking from this broad field of action is not the way to success. You will find the full text of the Introduction at: http://www.jmis-web.org/articles/v25_n1_p5/index.html The table of contents of JMIS 25, 1, listing the 10 papers that appear in the issue, is at: http://www.jmis-web.org/issues/Summer_2008/index.html The great work of Arnold Kamis, who is our website editor, is appreciated.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP: ACM TKDD Special Issue on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction Datum: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:18:41 -0700 Von: Huan Liu <huan.liu(a)asu.edu> Antwort an: liuh.asu(a)gmail.com Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> ACM TKDD Special Issue on Social Computing, Behavioral Modeling, and Prediction http://www.public.asu.edu/~huanliu/acm-tkdd-sbp<http://www.public.asu.edu/%7Ehuanliu/acm-tkdd-sbp> *Guest Editors: *Huan Liu, John Salerno, Michael Young, Rakesh Agrawal, and Philip Yu Social computing is concerned with the study of social behavior and social context based on computational systems. Behavioral modeling helps study and reproduce social behavior, and allows for experimenting, scenario planning, and deep understanding of behavior, patterns, and potential outcomes. The pervasive use of computing and Internet technologies provides an unprecedented environment of various social activities. Social computing facilitates behavioral modeling in model building, analysis, pattern mining, and prediction. Numerous interdisciplinary and interdependent systems are created and used to represent the various social and physical systems for investigating the interactions between groups, communities, or nation-states. This presents singular challenges to knowledge discovery from data and requires joint efforts from multiple disciplines, social computing, and behavioral modeling in order to document lessons learned and develop novel theories, experiments, and methodologies in terms of social, physical, psychological, and governmental mechanisms. The goal is to enable us to create, experiment, and recreate an operational environment with a better understanding of the contributions from individual disciplines, forging joint interdisciplinary efforts to advance science and research. This special issue promotes an interdisciplinary, fledgling field of social computing, behavioral modeling, and prediction, and offers a platform for researchers and practitioners from sociology, behavioral science, computer science, psychology, cultural study, information systems, operations research to illustrate pressing needs, demonstrate challenging research issues, and showcase the state-of-the-art research and development. Topics of Interests Papers are solicited on research issues, theories, and applications of social computing, behavioral modeling, and prediction. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to, - Group formation and evolution - Group representation and profiling - Cultural patterns and representation - Social conventions and social contexts - Intentions, behaviors, and relations - Modeling, projection, and forecasting - Social network analysis and mining - Group interaction and collaboration - Influence process and recognition - Public opinion representation and extraction - Search, data, and inference - Trust and reputation - Sentiment representation and detection - Metrics and evaluation - Data collection and benchmarks - Model and analysis complexity Important Dates Submission of full papers: *September 10, 2008* Notification of paper acceptance: *November 10, 2008* Camera-ready: *December 10, 2008* Submission and Preparation Each submission will be reviewed by at least 3 reviewers.
