-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Special Issue on eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare Datum: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 13:47:44 -0400 (CLT) Von: eCommerce List <eCommerce_List(a)noresponse.cl> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at, neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research Call for Papers Special Issue on eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare Guest Editors: Carolyn McGregor (University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada) Anthony Maeder, (University of Western Sydney, Australia) Healthcare is often perceived to lag behind other industry sectors in its uptake and adoption of new technology. eHealth is one such technology which includes the areas of health informatics, electronic medical/patient records, clinical decision support, telehealth. The main purpose of eHealth is to provide better use of information in health care settings, to improve the quality of patient care and the efficiency of clinical processes. Many situations exist where the use of eCommerce principles would be appropriate to establish new eHealth solutions, and these warrant extensive research investigation. Services Computing has been described as a cross-discipline that covers the science and technology of bridging the gap between Business Services and IT Services (IEEE Services Computing Community). This role is supported by Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), business consulting methodology and utilities, business process modelling, transformation and integration. The goal of Services Computing is to enable IT services and computing technology to perform business services more efficiently and effectively. Opportunities abound for the unique aspects of healthcare to drive fundamental computing and IT research together with leading applied research within the healthcare domain, that could potentially be reapplied to areas outside of healthcare. This special issue invites papers with research contributions in the domain of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare. The topics include but are not limited to: * Trends and Challenges for eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Case Studie s in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Impact and benefits of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare * Services Computing for intra and inter organization patient journeys * Drivers and Barriers for adoption of Service Oriented Architectures in Healthcare * Usage of mobile devices and patient surveillance systems for Healthcare Services * Patient journey modeling in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Quality of Service and Quality Assurance for eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare * Development and deployment of Service Oriented Architectures supporting Healthcare * Legal and Regulatory requirements concerning electronic delivery of Healthcare Services * New models of healthcare delivery supported by eHealth and/or Services Computing * Healthcare Services performance issues (e.g. Availability, Reliability and Security) * Management and monitoring of eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthc are * Assessment, evaluation and evidence validation issues for Healthcare Information Systems * Design, usability, ethics and other human factor issues for Healthcare Information Systems * eHealth DBMS implementation issues including security, portability and mobility Submission: Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas.

Corporations often lack a uniform green marketing strategy, especially in the integration of various marketing communications instruments and new media. Green values are usually flashed in the corporate newsletters and public relations but are often nonexistent in other instruments such as personal selling. Given the pressure to pursue social responsibility strategies like green marketing, this topic clearly deserves fresh contributions in the form of both conceptual and empirical studies. It is also hypothesized that business-to-business customers are placing more emphasis on green values in their buying decisions, but as yet little empirical evidence concerning the success of green marketing arguments is available. Target topics that are relevant to this special issue of JoSIT include but are not limited to: Green marketing and corporate social responsibility strategy Integrated marketing communications in the B2B sector The utilization of new electronic channels in B2B marcom The role of trade fairs and exhibitions in marcom The integration of personal selling to marcom Conceptualization of green marketing The measurement of green values among customers Scale development studies on green marketing values The impact of green values on buying decisions The role of green values in customer value creation Utilitarian values vs. green values in buying decisions Green IT and marketing communications New media and green marketing Publication Guidelines All papers will undergo a blind refereeing process by at least two referees. Timeline: Submission deadline: 30th April 2009 Reviews returned: June 30th, 2009 Resubmission of papers: August 15th Final decision: August 31st, 2009 Publication: Autumn 2009 All submissions must be original works which have not appeared elsewhere and which are not being considered for publication with another journal.

The optimal usage of distributed computing, data and knowledge resources has always been the means in order to tackle hard problems in fields, such as science, engineering and medicine. The SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, Berkeley, USA) project is one prominent example in this category followed by the Human Genome project. It is no surprise that projects like e-Science, as recently launched by the UK government, and the GRID computing are meant to create a computing paradigm, where "the computer is the network". In all these approaches, however, the problem seems to be well defined and no synergies across participants from different cultural and professional backgrounds are requested in order to create a solution. In the early 21st century with the rise of the Social and Semantic Web, however, the answer of 'what is a network' has been relaxed by the inclusion of users and user communities, which form social networks via computerized means. Ecosystems of humans and machines have been created where the involvement of human beings as creators and consumers of data and knowledge as well as in problem solving and learning tasks has been of paramount importance. Clusters of computers have been enhanced by clusters of humans. Formation of social groups follows the same principles of social behaviour, common interests, e.g., studies, hobbies, games. Wikipedia has been a success story of a collaborative environment for knowledge creation and sharing. Facebook, MySpace, del.icio.us, Flickr have been further success stories of social networking with digital media. This special issue explores the notion of this human-machine model of Collective Intelligence (CI) and its potential to become a new computing paradigm for creating solutions or strategies to tackle difficult problems, where the synergistic interactions of a group of people with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds are requested. This issue aims at studying the move from (system-) collected knowledge and intelligence, to collective knowledge and intelligence and exploring the challenge of boosting the collective IQ of organizations and society where both human and machine contribute actively to the resulting intelligence with each doing best what they do best. ===================================================== CONTRIBUTIONS SOUGHT: This is by no means an exhaustive list of challenges and research questions to be addressed by the submitted papers for all elements of the best research practice as based on the triple theory, methodology, model - languages - system implementation. * How do we plug-in personal data and knowledge into a problem solving social network? * How do we create systems to enable collaboration? * How do we guarantee communication at different levels of expertise and cultural and multi-lingual backgrounds? * How do we guarantee communication between experts and end users in their role as members of a particular society and participants in problem-solving strategies and techniques? * How do we harness the inherent complexity of networked solutions? * How can we create cooperating systems in a cost-effective way? * How can we integrate systems in a meaningful way without sacrificing autonomy? * How can we bring together diverse conceptions and interpretations of user communities? * How do we cope with uncertainty and probability in data management and knowledge discovery? * What are the mechanisms to support group formation multiple interpretive perspectives, negotiation of group knowledge * What are the technological and social reconfigurations that are needed to achieve computer supported collaborative knowledge building, i.e., group cognition, that transcends the limits of individual cognition * How do we design and offer software, which analyzes and relies on empirical instances of collaboration? * How do we ensure that quality in knowledge and software creation and consumption is assured? * How can we ensure security and trustworthiness in networked environments? * How do we enable learning via computer games and multimedia enhanced knowledge sources? * How do we make sure which inference and reasoning techniques are applied to available data? Does reasoning and available data match? APPLICATIONS: Applications as varied as collaborative curriculum development, writing summaries by students and designing space voyages by NASA engineers can be addressed. A non-exhaustive list of application paradigms is the following: * Collaborative Scientific Problem Solving * Maintaining Model Bases * Environmental Monitoring and Global Climate Change * Collaborative Business Models and the Enterprise 2.0 * Collaborative e-Learning * Social Networking Analysis * E-Governance * Collective Environment Monitoring Systems * etc. ========================================================== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Manuscripts should be submitted on-line at http://ees.elsevier.com/ins/ by the date of initial submission, double spaced in 11 or 12-point fonts, with no more than 45 pages, inclusive of all references, figures and tables.

Wood <cwood1(a)nd.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Special Issue in the Electronic Commerce Research and Applications Elsevier Journal on "Emerging Economic, Strategic and Technical Issues in Online Auctions and Electronic Market Mechanisms" Guest Editors: Claudia Loebbecke (University of Cologne, Germany), Roumen Vragov (Baruch College, CUNY), and Charles A. Wood (University of Notre Dame) You are cordially invited to submit an original manuscript for the Electronic Commerce Research's special issue on "Emerging Economic, Strategic and Technical Issues in Online Auctions and Electronic Market Mechanisms." This issue of Electronic Commerce Research and Applications is devoted to exploring challenges and innovative research in the domain of online auctions and electronic markets, as well as research that offers new theories and theoretical insights for the design of electronic market mechanisms. We especially appreciate submissions that examine the impact of online auctions or other electronic markets viewed from the different perspectives of multiple disciplines: information systems, economics, business strategy, operations, public affairs, psychology, sociology, and computer science. This kind of work can vary from the most technical investigations to those that consider human and economic factors in auctions. Other issues of interest include, but are not limited to: auctions for collectibles like eBay; the auction-related aspects of electronic financial markets like NASDAQ and NYMEX; and electronic market mechanisms like reverse e-auctions, group buying and Internet auctions for the issuance of stocks, and other unique electronic markets made possible by advances in technologies over the last decade. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: The ideal length of submissions related to the themes discussed above is between 8,000 and 11,000 words. All submissions should follow the general guidelines of the journal as specified at www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/621289/authorinstruct…. The manuscripts will be peer-reviewed according to the journal�s general policy; all reviews are single-blind.
