[Fwd: [isworld] Experience-based learning survey request]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Experience-based learning survey request Datum: Sat, 17 Jan 2009 20:12:07 -0500 Von: Dennis Galletta <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu> Antwort an: Dennis Galletta <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear AISWorld Community, I found myself on a new committee this year and hope that many of you can help. Our school is examining options in Experience-Based learning (defined below) and one early step is to determine what other schools are doing. As always, I will provide a summary of the results. We appreciate any and all responses to this one-page survey instrument. The �next� at the bottom simply submits the results and provides a �thank you� message. I am only asking that you fill it out but if you want to distribute this to some colleagues in other departments I would not complain at all! http://katz.qualtrics.com/SE?SID=SV_3PFr6sHH2I5hw3i&SVID=Prod Definition: Experience-Based Learning (EBL) represents learning where students (1) are placed in a situation that resembles or is an actual work environment; (2) think and feel like the firm's stakeolders while acting in their best interests; (3) learn by doing as opposed to passively; and (4) internalize the organization's issues and processes (as opposed to only identifying with them). We expect that most respondents will be from business schools, however, novel ideas might emerge from other schools such as engineering, medicine, law, and liberal arts. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Dennis Galletta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis F.

What started with Total Quality Management initiatives and continued through Business Process Reengineering (BPR) projects of the early1990s has evolved into a comprehensive management practice that permeates both the business and the technology side of organizations. Business Process Management (BPM) can be defined as methods and tools surrounding the definition, implementation, and improvement of lateral processes in organizations. BPM tools and techniques play a significant role in both intra- organizational and inter-organizational process design. As BPM continues to gain importance in todayís organization, an increasing number of studies detail efficiency, effectiveness and agility improvements resulting from process management initiatives. Innovative industrial implementations and applications of BPM methods and techniques are of much interest today, given their potential for bringing significant gains to the enterprise through the automated coordination of activities, process participants and the integration of applications. This mini-track seeks contributions that discuss the management of business processes as well as technologies for process automation. We encourage submissions from both a managerial as well as a technical perspective. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following: -- Business process automation and workflow management systems -- Business process and rule modeling, languages and design patterns -- Strategies for business process design and innovation -- Service-oriented architectures for BPM -- Resource management and capacity planning in BPM -- Information security and assurance in BPM -- Business process monitoring and controlling -- Process mining and its applications -- Business process governance, risk and compliance management -- Management of adaptive and flexible processes -- Management of ad-hoc and collaboration processes -- Management of knowledge-intensive processes -- Formal evaluation of BPM methods and technologies -- BPM adoption and critical success factors -- BPM maturity -- Standardization of BPM, web services and workflow technology -- Industry case studies on BPM technology or BPM applications --- Submission Process --- Full paper submissions must be made electronically through the AMCIS Manuscript Central submission system, by February 20th 2009. Papers should not exceed 5,000 words.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: 1st Workshop on the Economics of Knowledge-based Technologies (ECONOM 2009) Datum: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:01:37 +0100 Von: Dominik Flejter <d.flejter(a)kie.ae.poznan.pl> Antwort an: Dominik Flejter <d.flejter(a)kie.ae.poznan.pl> Organisation: Poznan University of Economics, Dept. Inf. Sys., Integror.Net An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Workshop on the Economics of Knowledge-based Technologies (ECONOM 2009) in conjunction with 12th International Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS 2009) Poznan, Poland April 27, 28 or 29, 2009 http://bis.kie.ae.poznan.pl/12th_bis/wscfp.php?ws=econom2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Knowledge-based technologies use machine-understandable formalizations of expert knowledge to realize scalable, robust and economically feasible approaches and to support knowledge management, information integration or intelligent search. In order to encourage the wide industrial uptake of knowledge-based technologies, instruments to assess potential economic benefits of these technologies and to predict the total costs of their development and deployment are a must. CIOs are starting to acknowledge the technical value of knowledge-based technologies for enterprises. In the last years early adopters have been increasingly using them in various application settings ranging from content management to enterprise integration platforms. Core technological building blocks and development platforms are meanwhile available from established vendors. Despite this promising position, it is still difficult to argue in favor of knowledge-based technologies in front of the CFOs because of the lack of convincing measurable benefits or of proven-and-tested methods to determine and quantify these. This workshop addresses economic aspects of knowledge-based technologies. This includes the assessment of their potential business value, more precisely the costs and benefits of their application, and qualitative and quantitative methods therefor. We are interested in original research looking into the aforementioned aspects for both knowledge-based systems and knowledge structures (i.e., ontologies, taxonomies, folksonomies) supporting these systems. The goal of the workshop is to provide a communication platform for researchers to discuss ideas and results and to identify new challenges in the areas of economics and knowledge-based technologies. The workshop is also intended to be a networking event for participants from the industry willing to share their experiences on the adoption of knowledge-based technologies in enterprises. TOPICS OF INTEREST * Methods to estimate costs and/or benefits of introducing knowledge-based technologies into enterprise environments. * Methods to estimate return on investment in knowledge-based technologies in terms of their potential business value. * Methods to estimate benefits of knowledge-based technologies in enterprise architectures. * Methods to measure efficiency gains through knowledge-based technologies. * Cost and benefit analysis of knowledge structures such as ontologies, taxonomies or folksonomies. * Evaluation criteria and methods to assess the quality and to compare alternative technological solutions. * Incentives for knowledge-based content creation. * Empirical studies on the usage of knowledge-based technologies. * Business strategies for the introduction of knowledge-based technologies. SUBMISSION * Long papers: max. 12 pages * Work-in-progress reports: max. 6 pages * Demo papers: max. 4 pages Papers must be submitted in PDF format according to Springer LNBIP template available from http://www.springer.com/east/home/computer/lncs?SGWID=5-164-7-487211-0. Submission system is available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=econom2009. Papers approved for presentation at ECONOM 2009 will be published in BIS 2009 workshop proceedings, as a volume in Springer's Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. WORKSHOP FORMAT ECONOM 2009 will consist of a keynote talk by Prof. Dr. Robert Tolksdorf (Free University Berlin, Germany), two sessions for presentation of accepted papers, and a moderated panel discussion integrating the workshop participants. The panel discussion will include the invited speaker and 3-4 other participants from academia and industry.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] AMCIS2009 - CFP - Intelligent Systems Track Datum: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:36:03 -0500 Von: Vijayan Sugumaran <sugumara(a)oakland.edu> Antwort an: Vijayan Sugumaran <sugumara(a)oakland.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009 - http://amcis2009.org/) San Francisco, California, August 6 - 9, 2009 (Thursday-Sunday) TRACK: INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (SIGABIS) http://amcis2009.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=121&Itemi… Complete Papers Due: February 20, 2009 The purpose of this track is to provide a forum for academics and practitioners to identify and explore the issues, opportunities, and solutions related to intelligent systems design, implementation, integration and deployment. An increasing number of artificial intelligence-based systems are being developed in different application domains employing a variety of tools and technologies. This track is intended to increase cross-fertilization of ideas from these domains, and share the lessons learned. This Track is sponsored by AIS Special Interest Group on Agent-Based Information Systems (SIGABIS). Best papers from this Track will be fast tracked for publication in a special issue of International Journal of Intelligent Information Technologies (IJIIT). This track contains the following four mini-tracks: Mini-Tracks =========== * Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining (Chair: Riyaz T. Sikora) * Grid computing (Chair: Manish Agrawal) * Intelligent Agent and Multi-Agent Systems (Co-chairs: Vijayan Sugumaran, Stefan Kirn) * Semantic Web and Ontology (Chair: Victoria Y. Yoon) A brief description of each of the mini-tracks is given below. Mini-Track: Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining =================================================== Riyaz T. Sikora (co-chair SIGABIS) University of Texas at Arlington One of the side effects of the increase in connectivity and collaboration has been the phenomenal increase in the magnitude and volatility of the available data. Intelligent methods are now emerging as a way to deal with this staggering variety and volume of data in distributed and heterogeneous environments. This has become especially relevant since most large-scale information systems applications of today assume that components will be added dynamically and that they will be autonomous (serve different users or providers and fulfill different goals) and heterogeneous (be built in different ways). The mini-track on AI and DM provides a forum to bring together like-minded researchers, teachers, and practitioners to advance this important field. The AI/DM mini-track will seek research and applications highlighting the frontiers of new knowledge and advances in AI and DM. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Foundations of AI and DM * Machine Learning and Statistical Learning Algorithms * Data Mining * Pattern Recognition * Intelligent Agents * Heuristic Search * Intelligent Information Retrieval * Support Vector Machines * Web/Text mining * Intelligent Search Techniques * Reinforcement Learning Mini-Track: Grid Computing ========================== Manish Agrawal University of South Florida Grid computing potentially creates enormous processing power dedicated to large computing-intensive tasks. Common uses of grid computing include computer aided design, drug discovery, back-office data processing, information services, and other interesting academic and social problems such as the search for extra-terrestrial life. The emergence of grid computing has led to research questions including the generalizability of grid computing solutions, information privacy and assurance on the grid, and problem decomposition. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to explore these and other problems, ideas, experiences, and solutions on grid computing. Potential topics (not limited to): * Grid architectures * Grid applications * Information services on grids * Grid application workflows * Privacy on grid hosts * Heterogeneity on the grid * Trust development within the grid * Information assurance on the grid * Development models * Grid resource management * Business and social implications of grids Mini-Track: Intelligent Agent and Multi-Agent Systems ===================================================== Vijayan Sugumaran, Oakland University Stefan Kirn, Universität Hohenheim While research on intelligent agent and multi-agent systems have progressed, there are still a number of issues that have to be explored in terms of agent design, implementation, integration, and deployment. For example, salient characteristics of agents in different domains, formal approaches for agent-oriented modeling, designing and implementing agent-oriented information systems, agent collaboration and coordination in multi-agent systems, and organizational impact of agent-based systems are some of the areas in need of further research. Possible Topics (but not limited to): * Intelligent Applications in Business * Distributed Intelligent Systems * Agent architectures and behavior models * Models and architectures for agent-oriented information systems * Agent-oriented software engineering * Multi-agent systems and applications * Agent collaboration, and coordination * Human and agent interaction models * Agent-based process and workflow systems * Agents and knowledge management * Agent-based simulation * Agent-based e-commerce applications * Mobile Agents * Privacy, security, and trust issues in agent-based environments * Organizational impact of agent-based systems Mini-Track: Semantic Web and Ontology ===================================== Victoria Y. Yoon University of Maryland Baltimore County Semantic Web has been recognized as one of the most important Information Technologies and has received considerable attention from both academia and industry. Semantic Web has made significant progress over several years when numerous issues have been addressed and many applications have been developed. However, despite all of these advances, the current state of Semantic Web requires significant improvements to make it more effective in a broader range of applications. This mini-track will provide a forum for gaining a better understanding of these new technologies and their business aspects. Potential authors/researchers are encouraged to submit papers that address the issues related to designing, developing, and evaluating Semantic Web/Ontology from the technical, behavioral, economical, or managerial perspectives. This mini-track will focus on: * Semantic interoperability * Semantic web for e-business and e-learning * Service discovery, description, and composition * Semantic Web mining * Ontology creation, evolution, reconciliation, and mediation * Ontology mapping, Integration, and/or alignment * Software agents for Semantic Web * Innovative Semantic Web/Ontology applications * Managerial Issues of Semantic Web/Ontology The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP AMCIS 2009: Enterprise Systems Adoption and Business Models]
by Gustaf Neumann 15 Jan '09

15 Jan '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP AMCIS 2009: Enterprise Systems Adoption and Business Models Datum: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:18:54 -0500 Von: Prof. Dr. Katja Andresen <profandresen(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Prof. Dr. Katja Andresen <profandresen(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 15th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2009) San Francisco, California, August 6 - 9, 2009 (Thursday-Sunday) San Francisco Marriott (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sfodt-san-francisco-marriott/) Track: Enterprise Systems (SIGEntSys) Minitrack: Enterprise Systems Adoption and Business Models Complete Papers Due: February 20, 2009 Enterprise systems (ES), which are complex software packages designed for integrating data flow and processes across an entire company and beyond, emerged as a result of evolution from MRP, MRP II and ERP systems. Stepwise, the evolving systems integrate more and more areas of the company's operation and presently they extend over the organizational boundaries and support inter-organizational activities. Currently, ES are expected to be key enablers of modern organizations that operate in a dynamic and turbulent business environment, experience the consequences of globalization, face mergers and takeovers, and may take part in various business alliances. Frequently, the adoption of an ES is an enormous challenge for an organization which stems from the system complexity, organizational context and people involved in the implementation project. Usually, ES adoption is a long and multi-stage process during which various problems and complications may occur. Moreover, the ES adoption projects typically involve a great number of stakeholders who represent different company departments, various organizational hierarchies, and often external companies operating in various industries. These stakeholders may have conflicting interests and their own definition of project success. Overall, ES implementation projects tend to be very unique and challenging endeavors. Moreover, the challenges related to the adoption of ES are not limited to the organizations that embrace this technology, but also face the system providers as well. Shorter product lifecycles, combined with the attempts of many organizations to cut their costs, make revenues from initial licensing and maintenance of the systems more erratic and less predictable. In addition, the current trends to open-source software and "Software as a Service" contracts offered by third parties affect substantially the traditional revenue streams of the ES providers. Thus, to remain competitive and prosper in the future, many ES providers must revise their existing strategies and devise new business models. This mini-track invites papers that examine various aspects related to the determinants of ES success and related business models. Both empirical and theoretical papers are invited. The general research questions addressed in this mini-track can be formulated as follows: what are the mechanisms determining successful ES adoption? What kind of business models exist for companies providing ES? Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * motivation and justification for ES adoption, * alignment between ES and adopting organization, * barriers and impediments to ES adoption success, * risk factors in ES adoption, * critical failure factors for ES adoption, * critical success factors for ES adoption, * ES implementation and change management * understanding of ES adoption success, * benchmarking of ES projects and ES project management, * multi-cultural and multi-national issues, * multiple stakeholder perspective in ES adoption and use, * business model frameworks, * impact of new trends within the software industry on business models, * business model innovation for standard software companies, * implications of shorter product lifecycles on business models, * "Software as a Service" related business models, * open-source software related business models.
