-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Domestic and Global Sourcing of the IT Workforce - AMCIS09 Datum: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 11:38:00 -0500 Von: Christine V. Bullen <cbullen(a)stevens.edu> Antwort an: Christine V. Bullen <cbullen(a)stevens.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> DEADLINE IS TOMORROW!!! Domestic and Global Sourcing of the IT Workforce Mini-track within IS Outsourcing Track AMCIS09 Mini-Track Chair - Christine V. Bullen Howe School of Technology Management Stevens Institute of Technology Hoboken, NJ 07030 Phone: 201-216-8278 Fax: 631-980-4071 Email: cbullen(a)stevens.edu Description As the sourcing phenomenon, both domestic and offshore has grown, its impact on the IT workforce has been observed and research has begun to look at the results. Attracting, developing and retaining IT professionals has again become a top concern for most CIOs according to a recent Society for Information Management survey. However, recent research indicates that the skill mixes for both client firms (those seeking services) and provider firms(those supplying services) are changing from those sought in the past. All of these factors have brought the importance of understanding skills and patterns of skills to the forefront of IT research. In addition, the increasingly global sourcing of IT work and low IT enrollments in universities are prompting fundamental changes in the availability of IT capabilities needed in both client and IT product and service organizations. At a time when some argue that sourcing to off-shore locations is hurting the profession, others argue that the thin pipeline of skills in the U.S. has forced organizations to source IT services in other countries. This mini-track will seek research papers relevant to these issues, addressing (but not limited to)the following areas: � The current and future needs for IT capabilities in global client organizations � The current and future needs for IT capabilities in global IT product and service provider organizations. � Key IT skill requirements for the next decade � The impact of domestic and global sourcing of the IT workforce � The skills gap between what the marketplace desires and what graduates bring to the marketplace � What capabilities universities should be providing in their graduates � The current state of enrollments in IT-related programs in the United States and internationally � How organizations do/will recruit, develop, and retain in-house IT capabilities to meet current and future needs � Impact of off-shore captive centers on skills requirements � Country and regional studies on the IT Workforce � The economic issues of global sourcing as they relate to the workforce Submission Process for AMCIS mini-track: Full paper submissions for AMCIS mini-track must be made electronically through the AMCIS on-line submission system. Key Dates for AMCIS mini-track submission: Abstracts Due: January 20, 2009 Full Papers Due: February 20, 2009 Notification of Acceptance: April 2, 2009 Camera Ready Copy Due: April 20, 2009 For additional information please refer to the AMCIS website: http://www.amcis2009.org/ Thanks, ---Christine Christine V.

Such challenges include: managing user centric services and context services, extreme distribution and scalability, extensive system & network & semantic heterogeneity, ad hoc formation and disassociation of systems and services, intelligent support for user centric applications. To address these issues, new and innovative management solutions need to be realized. Such approaches need to support greater levels of autonomy within the management of systems, services and networks. However such new-style management needs to be informed by and operate within the scope of business, operational and environmental constraints and policies. A key element of greater acceptance and impact of pervasive management across application domains will be the degree of user empowerment they offer, balanced against the ever increasing need for greater management automation. Since 2003, the MUCS workshop (both independently and aligned with major conferences) has provided a very successful forum for researchers and practitioners to explore the theoretic, technological and organizational challenges, and to present advances in management techniques and technologies, for pervasive computing and smart space applications. The workshop provides a single-track scientific programme containing a blend of keynote presentations from leaders in research in this area, peer-reviewed papers and a small selection of invited presentations. Topics ----------- # Management of Smart Spaces and Applications # Context Aware Management and Configuration # Security, Privacy, and Trust Management in Pervasive Computing/Smart Spaces # Adaptive technologies and techniques for Services and Management # Knowledge Representation Techniques and Semantics for Management # Management and Control of Mobile Ad-hoc and Wireless Sensor Networks # Distributed Management & Collaborative Governance # Context Identification, Retrieval, Prediction and Management # Provisioning and Maintenance of Quality of Service in ubiquitous computing environments # User Interaction with Management of UbiComp and Pervasive Systems # Managing Collaborative Pervasive Computing and smart space applications # Policy Based Management # Autonomic Management of Services and Communications # Communication & Systems Management # Wireless and Fixed Network Integrated Management # Adaptive Service and Network Management # Content Oriented Network & Service Management # Service and Network Management for Optimised Personalisation # Knowledge Representation Techniques and Ontologies for Management Services # Bio-inspired management approach Paper Submission ---------------------------- Paper submissions must present original, unpublished research or experiences.

The Workshops will be held within the Conference, September 15-18, 2009 at Milano, Italy. The main goal of the WI-IAT'09 workshops is to stimulate and facilitate active exchange, interaction and comparison of approaches, methods and ideas related to specific topics, both theoretical and applied, in the general areas related to Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology. The workshops will provide an informal setting where participants will have the opportunity to discuss specific technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. The workshop organizers will be responsible for advertising the workshop, forming the program committees, reviewing and selecting the papers, and guaranteeing a high quality worthy of the prestige and range of the Conference. All papers accepted for workshops will be included in the Workshop Proceedings, which are expected to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshops. The workshop organizers will also have the discretion of editing selected papers (after their expansion and revision) into books or special journal issues. Workshops may be full-day or half-day. A full- day workshop should select 10-14 regular papers, while a half-day workshop should select 5-7 regular papers, from a large number of submissions. The workshop organizers should ensure the presence of authors of accepted papers at the workshops. Optionally, the workshop may be started or concluded by a panel focusing on interesting aspects, controversial issues, or unsolved problems to stimulate lively, thoughtful, and thought-provoking debate; we expect the workshop organizers to actively engage the audience and help them gain a deeper understanding of the issues. The goal of a panel is to debate and thus panels should always reflect more than one point of view. *** Workshop Topics Each workshop subject will focus on new research challenges and initiatives in Web Intelligence (WI) and Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT). The workshops should provide an informal and vibrant forum for researchers and industry practitioners to share their research results and practical development experiences in these two fields. Suggested workshop topics include, but are not limited to: Web Intelligence, Brain Informatics and Bio Technology Intelligent E-Technology (including E-Science, E-Business, E-Learning, E-Finance, E-Government, E-Community) Intelligent Web Interaction Knowledge Grids and Grid Intelligence Semantics and Ontology Engineering Social Networks and Social Intelligence Web Agents Web Information Filtering and Retrieval Web Mining and Forming Web Monitoring and Change Web Personalization and Recommendations Web Security, Integrity, Privacy and Trust Web Services and Grid Services Web Support Systems World Wide Wisdom Web (W4) Intelligent Web Querying Log Mining Agent Systems Modeling and Methodology Autonomous Knowledge and Information Agents Autonomous Auctions and Negotiation Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC) Learning and Self-Adapting Agents Agents and Data Mining Interaction Multiagent Systems in E-business *** Workshop Proposal Submission Workshop proposals should include the following elements: Title of the workshop The organizers name, affiliation, mailing address and e-mail address A description of the topic of the workshop (not exceeding 200 words) Type of the workshop (full-day or half-day) A description of how the workshop will contribute to the field of Web Intelligence and/or Intelligent Agent Technology A short description on how the workshop will be advertised so as to ensure a sufficiently wide range of authors and high quality papers Optionally, only for full-day workshops, the title of a proposed panel, with a brief description highlighting the reasons of interest of the issues to be debated After the acceptance of a workshop proposal the organizer(s) should: Create a Call for papers/participation for the workshop Create a Web page for the workshop, the link of which will be published on the Conference Web site Create a Board of Reviewers (Program Committee) Review and select papers Schedule the workshop activities. Those papers selected by a workshop organizer will also be reviewed by the Workshop Co-Chairs for final acceptance. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. We will provide an online paper submission and review system to support the workshops. *** Important Dates - Workshop proposal submission due: January 31, 2009 - DEADLINE EXTENDED - Notification to workshop proposers: February 16, 2009 - Each Workshop Organizer Sends out Call for Workshops Papers: February 5, 2009 - Due date for full workshop papers submission: (at least two reviews for each paper) April 30, 2009 - Final acceptance by Workshop Co-Chairs: June 10, 2009 - Notification of paper acceptance to authors: June 8, 2009 - Camera-ready of accepted papers: June 30, 2009 - Workshop day: September 15, 2009 *** Workshop proposal submissions The above described workshop proposals must be submitted via e-mail (workshops.wi.iat(a)gmail.com ).

The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work (i.e., the consortium is not intended for those who are finished or nearly finished with their dissertation). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and international atmosphere. Students will present and discuss their thesis in the context of a well-known and established international conference outside of their usual university environment. The workshop will take place on a single full day. Up to 10 Ph.D. students will have the opportunity to participate. Students are expected to meet the registration fees of the ICALT Conference (student rates). A number of prominent professors and experienced practitioners in the field of Advanced Learning Technologies research in organizations from different countries and continents will conduct the workshop. They will review all the submissions and comment on the content of the thesis as well as on the presentation. Students will have 15 minutes to present their research, focusing on the main theme of their thesis, what they have achieved so far and how they plan to continue their work. Another 15 minutes is reserved for discussion and feedback from both the professors and other participants. In the course of the workshop students will also get advice on more general questions, e.g. he differences of Ph.D. studies in different countries. Call for Papers and Topics Students interested in participating in the ICALT2009 Doctoral Consortium should submit an extended manuscript (see details below) describing their Advanced Learning Technologies research. Submissions relating to any aspect of Advanced Learning Technologies research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, focusing on the main themes of ICALT2009.
