The conference provides a platform for researchers and practitioners interested in theory and practice of technologies for in E-Commerce and Enterprise Computing. The program of CEC’09 will consist of invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions. We invite submissions of high quality papers describing fully developed results or on-going work on the following topics relevant for electronic commerce and enterprise computing: • *Commerce and Business System Architectures.* Design principles, methods, and technologies for developing enterprise architectures that support and reflect a company’s business needs. Their focus may be on both, intra-organizational architectures (e.g., Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Application Integration, etc.) as well as on inter-organizational integration (B2x, P2P integration and architectures). • *Electronic Commerce Technologies. *Technologies reflecting the technical, organizational, and legal requirements of the different participants in electronic business transactions. These technologies support the phases of an electronic business transaction: planning, identification, negotiation, actualization, and post-actualization. • *Business Process Management.* Enterprise Computing relies on effective business process management to meet a company’s business goals. CEC’09 focuses on new approaches to intra- as well as to inter-organizational business processes for any stage of the business process life cycle: design, modeling, execution, monitoring, and optimization. • *Business Intelligence.* Business intelligence (BI) refers to technologies, applications, and practices for the collection, integration, analysis, and presentation of business information. The overall goal is to assess the present state of a business and to prescribe a course of action. • *Business Services.* Research in business services has become an emergent field addressing the alignment of business and IT, enabling optimized business operations. Business services and services computing investigate business modeling and consulting, service identification, service design, service modeling, service granularity, service development, and service. • Semantic Web and Ontological Engineering. Enabling business applications to make use of semantic annotations for search and decision-making. • *Mobile Business Applications.* The rise of mobile devices and ubiquitous connectivity raises the issue of integrating mobile and wireless technologies into electronic commerce and business system architectures. • Security and Trust. The reliable protection of data from manipulation and theft through methods of security is one of the prerequisites for a modern Electronic Commerce and enabling technologies of particular importance. • *Human Computer Interaction.* HCI concentrates on interactions between users and computers by making computers more usable and receptive to the user’s needs, which has outstanding importance in enterprise systems due to its implications on cost of ownership, dealing with complex systems and very large scale. • *Social Networks.* A social network is a virtualized structure of social relationships. With the rise of the Internet and Web 2.0 technologies in the enterprise, we solicit work on social network design enhancing creativity, information sharing, and collaboration amongst users in business environments. • *eGovernment.* CEC’09 addresses the for-profit as well as the public sector ------- PAPER SUBMISSIONS -------- Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum.

[Fwd: [WI] CfP for the AMCIS 2009 minitrack on "Information Systems Success & Benchmarking"]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP for the AMCIS 2009 minitrack on "Information Systems Success & Benchmarking" Datum: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:49:33 +0100 Von: Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) August 6 - 9, 2009 (Thursday-Sunday) San Francisco Marriott (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sfodt-san-francisco-marriott/) Track: Performance and Measurement Minitrack: Information Systems Success & Benchmarking Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) has been increasing for many years. By 2010, International Data Cooperation expects the total expenditure on IT to reach 1.48 trillion US dollars (IDC 2007). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of information systems (IS) failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey carried out in 2006 in the USA indicated that only 62% of software projects were considered successful (Verner et al. 2006). The measurement of investments and developed systems' success, as well as the paradox of high investments and low productivity returns ("productivity paradox") therefore remains a top concern for both practitioners and researchers (Brynjolfsson 1993). During the last two and a half decades, research on measuring IS success – the clarification of an important dependent variable in IS research – has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success and identify the various causes of success or failure respectively. Complementary, the benchmarking method allows for an external perspective on the unit of analysis and therefore for an inter-organizational comparison. Thus, organizations are able to assess costs and benefits of IS with respect to a peer group. In addition, benchmarking establishes standards as well as a shared understanding and common procedures. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to present research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to assess and benchmark IS. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring IS success. Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness * Measuring IS success/effectiveness in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success * Critical discussion of existing approaches (D&M IS Success Model, TAM, etc.) * IS success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries * Exploring security system success and security benchmarking * Empirical studies evaluating different kinds of IS such as - Customer Relationship Management Systems - Project (Portfolio) Management Systems - Knowledge Management Systems - Decision Support Systems - Collaborative Systems - Enterprise Systems * Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation * Why doesn’t focusing on system requirements lead to system success?

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Special MISQE Issue on Domestic and Global Sourcing of the IT Workforce Datum: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 07:46:44 -0500 Von: Ilan Oshri <ioshri(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Ilan Oshri <ioshri(a)yahoo.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS Special MISQE Issue on Domestic and Global Sourcing of the IT Workforce The most recent annual survey of SIM members indicates that �attracting, developing and retaining IT professionals� has again become the top concern of CIOs. In contrast to the late 1990s, the desired skills mixes for client firms are changing -- with technical skills vital for some jobs, but change management and business knowledge & capabilities, in various mixes, becoming increasingly important. Projections for Western Europe and other developed economies also indicate future IT skills gaps, while the major offshore destination of India is experiencing high labour turnover, rising pay demands, and skills shortfalls leading to the offshoring of some of its own IT work to �nearshore� or cheaper destinations. Other countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, and Ireland are seeking to deal with rising demands related to new sourcing strategies. There are also over 120 emerging IT industries around the world in BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) and non-BRIC countries, with considerable implications for the location and management of domestic and global IT workforces. We are pleased to announce that the December 2009 issue of MISQ Executive will be a special issue dedicated to academic research on Domestic and Global Sourcing of the IT Workforce. All papers submitted for this special issue will be submitted to a regular MISQE review process under the guidance of the special issue editors. Themes to be addressed include but are not restricted to: �Key IT skill requirements and building for the next decade � in client and vendor organizations �Implications of future requirements on IT skills supply systems �The implications of offshoring and outsourcing arrangements for skills portfolios �IT skills gaps � old versus new skills, the roles of automation, redesigning work, individual career structures, organizational development strategies �Applying core/non-core concepts to IT workforce strategies �Applying 24-hour follow-the-sun concepts to different types of IT work �Strategic human resource challenges and practices to address skill needs and career development in today�s global sourcing environment. Recruitment, retention, training, remuneration issues and case studies �The implications and challenges of IT-enabled business process outsourcing (BPO) �Country and regional studies � leveraging IT sourcing changes in developed countries as well as BRIC and non-BRIC developing countries Authors are encouraged to submit papers intended for an IT executive readership that describe practice-oriented research findings and guidelines. Important Dates: Special Issue full paper submission deadline: April 20th 2009 First Editor Reports Returned: June 8th 2009 Resubmission Due for Selected Papers: August 3rd 2009 Final Submission for Conditionally Accepted Papers: September 14th 2009 MISQE Publications Editor Work: Completed by October 19th 2009 MISQE Publication: December 2009 All submissions should be sent to the Special Issue Co-Editors: �Leslie Willcocks, London School of Economics l.p.willcocks(a)lse.ac.uk �Ilan Oshri, Rotterdam School of Management ioshri(a)rsm.nl �Joe Rottman, University of Missouri, St. Louis rottman(a)umsl.edu The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

[Fwd: [computational.science] IDA-2009 - Call for papers]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] IDA-2009 - Call for papers Datum: Sat, 10 Jan 2009 18:33:47 +0100 Von: Bruno Cremilleux <Bruno.Cremilleux(a)info.unicaen.fr> Organisation: "OptimaNumerics" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.optimanumerics.com> IDA 2009: The eighth International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis Lyon-France August 31th, September 2nd - 2009 http://ida09.liris.cnrs.fr/ --------------- Call for Papers --------------- Over the past decade, there has been a growing body of literature on the understanding of data analysis processes. Making smart use of the increasingly sophisticated analysis algorithms requires much expert knowledge to be part of the process itself, often in an interactive way. This knowledge is at least partially integrated into more complex data analysis meta-methods and modeling scenarios that have proven beneficial. In addition to more traditional algorithmic or application oriented submissions, IDA-2009 especially encourages submissions of papers addressing this emerging trend at the crossroads of traditional data analysis methods, complex data analysis scenarios and interactive tools that assist the analyst throughout the process. We are interested in papers describing methods that aid the analyst in the analysis procedure and we are also looking for contributions abstracting or formalizing the - often interactive - data analysis process. Contributions describing such methods should highlight potential insights into the data that the presented method offers. Examples of interesting scenarios describing steps from data to interesting models are abstractions or formalizations in terms of, for instance, generic workflows or data analysis "design patterns". Also, description and support for interactivity in data analysis processes are of particular interest. Methods can stem from, but are not limited to, the areas of Machine Learning, Statistics, Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence, and (Interactive) Visualization. --------------------- Proceedings and venue --------------------- The proceedings of IDA 2009 will appear in the prestigious Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer. Notice that Lyon will host VLDB 2009 (35th International Conference on Very Large Databases) from August 24 to August 28. Lyon is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and we invite you to enjoy its splendor and its wonderful way of life. ---------------- Important dates: ---------------- Submission due: 30 March 2009 Notification of acceptance: 7 May 2009 Camera-ready copy due: 28 May 2009 Conference: August 31 - Sept 01-02 2009 -------------------- Topics of interest : -------------------- Algorithms & Techniques (Machine Learning, Data Mining, Statistics): - Artificial neural networks - Bayesian networks - Heuristic methods - Optimization problems - Case-based reasoning - Computational models of human learning - Computational learning theory - Cooperative learning - Unsupervised learning - Decision and induction - Evolutionary computation - Grammatical inference - Incremental and on-line learning - Information retrieval and learning - Knowledge acquisition and learning - Data pre- and post-processing - Data visualisation - Statistical pattern recognition and analysis - Performance and optimization - Bootstrap and randomization - Causal modeling - Decision analysis - Exploratory data analysis - Knowledge-based analysis - Classification, projection, regression, optimization clustering - Data cleaning - Model specification, selection, estimation - Reasoning under uncertainty - Uncertainty and noise in data Theoritical contributions (Data analysis principles, Data modeling): - Data Mining theories - Information retrieval restrictions - Legal data analysis restrictions - Innovative data analysis (models, information types, and objectives) - Theoretical IDA issues - New paradigms - Analysis of IDA algorithms Applications Fields (Practical, Applied and Industrial Data Analysis): - Analysis of different kinds of data (e.g., censored, temporal etc.) - Applications (e.g., commerce, engineering, finance, legal, manufacturing, medicine, public policy, science, bioinformatics, biosurveillance) - Assistants, intelligent agents for data analysis evaluation of IDA systems - Human-computer interaction in IDA - IDA systems and tools - Information extraction, information retrieval - Experiment design -------------------- Conference officers: -------------------- General Chair: Jean-François Boulicaut (INSA Lyon, F) Program Chairs: Niall Adams (Imperial College London, UK) Céline Robardet (INSA Lyon, F) Arno Siebes (Universiteit Utrecht, NL) Local Organisation: Guillaume Beslon (INSA Lyon, F) Céline Robardet (INSA Lyon, F) Publicity Chair: Bruno Crémilleux (University of Caen, F) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: computational.science-unsubscribe(a)lists.optimanumerics.com For additional commands, e-mail: computational.science-help(a)lists.optimanumerics.com Computational Science mailing list hosting is provided by OptimaNumerics (http://www.OptimaNumerics.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
