It is imperative that these complex and resource constrained technologies are not vulnerable to attack. This workshop will consider the full impact of the use of pervasive and smart technologies on individuals, and society at large, with regard to the security and privacy of the systems that make use of them. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security and privacy of pervasive systems and smart devices, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions that address the application of security technology, the implementation of systems, and lessons learned. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Access control * Ad hoc networks security * Anonymity * Biometrics, national ID cards * Data and application security and privacy * Data protection * Delay-tolerant network security * Digital rights management (DRM) in pervasive environments * Domestic network security * Embedded systems security and TPMs * Human and psychological aspects of security * Human-computer interaction and human behavior impact for security * Identity management * Information assurance and trust management * Interplay of TPMs and smart cards * Intrusion detection and information filtering * Mobile codes security * Mobile commerce security * Mobile devices security * New applications for secure RFID systems * Peer-to-peer security * Privacy enhancing technologies * RFID and NFC systems security * Secure self-organization and self-configuration * Security in location services * Security issues in mobile and ubiquitous networks * Security metrics * Security models and architecture * Security of GSM/GPRS/UMTS systems * Security policies * Security protocols * Sensor networks security * Smart card security * Smart devices applications * Vehicular network security * Wireless communication security * Wireless sensor node security IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission due: November 20, 2009 (midnight Samoa time) Notification to authors: January 17, 2010 Author registration: February 1, 2010 Camera-ready due: February 1, 2010 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal, a conference, or a workshop with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages including the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins), and should be in single-column format. Committee members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them. All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions are to be made to the submission web site (http://www.wistp.org/submission-details/). Only pdf files will be accepted. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits. Papers must be received by the deadline of November 20, 2009. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. The camera-ready version of the accepted papers must follow Springer guidelines (a Latex source file will be required). If a submitted paper is mainly the result of the work of a student author, this paper could have the chance to be selected as "Best student paper" (even if the paper has been written with senior co-authors). To participate to this selection process, please add the word "STUDENT" in the affiliation field in the submission form. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the workshop and present the paper.

[Fwd: [WI] CfP: Information Systems Special Issue on "Management and Engineering of Process Aware Information Systems"]
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: Information Systems Special Issue on "Management and Engineering of Process Aware Information Systems" Datum: Mon, 5 Oct 2009 16:55:39 +1000 Von: Jan Recker <j.recker(a)qut.edu.au> An: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *Motivation and Background* Process-aware information systems are at the heart of an ongoing trend that has seen the attention of information systems engineers and managers shift from data and objects to the processes that the information system is intended to support, enable or enact. This trend has resulted in a myriad of approaches to support the analysis, design, implementation, execution and maintenance of information systems, ranging from those supported by groupware to those supported by workflow management systems and more recently business process management systems. We subsume such different information systems with a “process focus” under the umbrella of Process-Aware Information Systems (PAIS). A PAIS is a work system that supports the delivery of products and/or services to customers by processing information on the basis of explicit process models. Process awareness has emerged as a guiding principle not only in the design and analysis of information systems, but also as a management discipline in its own right. As a result, PAIS are complex systems in which managerial and organizational aspects are often entangled with system analysis, design and implementation aspects. An integrated understanding of these complementary aspects is essential to reap the potential benefits of PAIS. However, management and engineering aspects of PAIS have to date mostly been studied separately. On the one hand, the information systems engineering community has concentrated on PAIS analysis, design and implementation, using for example case handling systems, workflow technology, business process management systems or service-oriented architectures. On the other hand, the information systems management community has focused on the impact of information systems technology to support process-oriented organizations, or the management of cultural and organizational change to enable process improvement. Overall these research streams have remained isolated from one another, and no studies exist that fully embrace the holistic and boundary-spanning nature of PAIS. *Scope and Aims* The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum to bridge the viewpoints of the information systems engineering community and the information systems management community, as it pertains to PAIS. The special issue explicitly advocates multi-disciplinary approaches that expand and integrate isolated research efforts in engineering and management of PAIS, or that bridge design-oriented with behavioral IS research efforts. Of particular interest to the special issue are studies showing how management and organizational aspects have an impact on the design and implementation of business processes, or how emerging technology frameworks and paradigms (such as service-oriented architectures, Web 2.0 and cloud computing) affect the management and organization of PAIS. Accordingly, the special issue encourages studies that use a mixed or multiple-method approach spanning empirical research and design science. To facilitate this integrated perspective into PAIS, the editorial board of this special issue brings together researchers from the management and engineering communities of PAIS research and who have a commitment to fostering open dialogue and knowledge sharing between these communities. *About the Journal* Information Systems is an international, peer-reviewed journal published by Elsevier that publishes articles concerning the design and implementation of languages, data models, algorithms, software and hardware for information systems. Its current impact factor is 1.660 and its five-year impact factor is 2.261. http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/236/description *Topics* The special issue will solicit submissions that address any phenomenon or problem that can be ascribed to PAIS. Potential topics include but are not limited to: - success, failure and contingency models for PAIS - usability, effectiveness and efficiency studies of PAIS - PAIS-related standards, their development, adoption, and use - PAIS modeling and design methods - management of process model repositories - collaborative process modeling and PAIS-enabled process collaboration - open-source software for PAIS - service-oriented and cloud-based architectures for PAIS - PAIS monitoring and performance measurement - decision support in the context of PAIS - impact of emerging technology on PAIS management - flexibility and change management in PAIS - philosophical and methodological issues in research on PAIS - industry-specific requirements towards PAIS - learning and education in PAIS - PAIS lifecycle management** - strategic alignment of PAIS** - governance of PAIS** * * *Review Process* All submissions will be peer-reviewed in accordance with the reviewing standards of the journal of Information Systems. This special issue follows a developmental review process. The objective is to apply very high standards of acceptance while ensuring fair, timely and efficient review cycles. The review process consists of three phases as outlined below. /Phase A: Extended Abstract Review (Optional)/ In this phase, potential authors are encouraged to submit a 2-3 page extended abstract of their proposed papers by e-mail to the special issue editors. The special issue editors will review the abstracts and provide feedback regarding (1) the potential of the proposed paper to make an innovative and substantive contribution to the field; and (2) the appropriateness of the proposed paper to the special issue. /Phase B: First-round review/ During this phase, authors shall submit a full version of their papers. The submissions will be reviewed by the editors, with the assistance of a group of invited domain experts. The editors will provide their recommendations and feedback to the authors for revision and development of the submitted papers. The objectives of this phase are to: (1) provide a timely turnaround so that authors get a clear indication of the reactions to their work, (2) enable promising works to develop into solid publishable material, (3) improve the success rates of high quality work by providing feedback at each developmental milestone and (4) ensure the high quality standards of IS in an efficient manner. The papers that successfully complete this stage will be invited to submit a revised version to the final peer review phase. We are also planning to provide an opportunity for authors who successfully complete this stage, to present their research results as part of a workshop affiliated with one of the major international IS conferences prior to submitting these papers for the peer-review phase. /Phase C: Second-round review/ The authors of papers successfully completing Phase B will be asked to submit a fully revised version of their manuscript for second peer-review phase. Final acceptance decisions will be made after authors received the chance to respond to the second-round review, if required. *Schedule* Extended abstract submission (*optional*): 15 November 2009 Feedback from editors on abstract: 1 December 2009 Full initial paper submission deadline: 15 January 2010 1st round feedback: 15 April 2010 Revised paper submission deadline: 1 October 2010 2nd round feedback: 1 January 2011 Final paper submission deadline: 15 April 2011 Acceptance decision deadline: 15 May 2011 Camera-ready paper submission deadline: 15 June 2011 Publication of special issue: 4th quarter 2011 * * *Submission* Extended abstracts may be submitted by e-mail to Jan Recker (j.recker at qut.edu.au). Submission of extended abstracts is optional. Full manuscripts must be submitted via the online submission system for Information Systems (http://ees.elsevier.com/is/). Please indicate that this is a submission to the Special Issue on Engineering and Management of PAIS. Authors should follow the guidelines for submissions to Information Systems, available from the Elsevier homepage: http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/236/authorinst… Manuscripts typically do not exceed 30 pages in length. * * *Special Issue Editorial Board* / / /Guest Editors:/ *Dr Marlon Dumas* is Professor of Software Engineering at University of Tartu, Estonia.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Deadline Extension: TSE Special Issue on Software Services and Service-Based Systems Datum: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:51:07 +0200 Von: Andreas Gehlert <Andreas.Gehlert(a)sse.uni-due.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering Special Issue on SOFTWARE SERVICES AND SERVICE-BASED SYSTEMS EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE Guest Editors: Carlo Ghezzi - Politecnico di Milano, Italy Klaus Pohl - University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Abstract submission deadline: 01 NOVEMBER 2009 (extended) Paper submission deadline: 17 NOVEMBER 2009 (extended) Website: http://www.s-cube-network.eu/tse NOTE: Abstract submission by 01 November 2009 is MADATORY TOPICS OF INTEREST The special issue aims at providing a comprehensive view of the different software engineering approaches investigated by current research on software services and service-based systems. Submitted articles can range from theoretical foundations to empirical studies. In any case, a validation of the proposed approaches is required. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: - Adaptation and evolution, including human in the loop adaptation and self-adaptation - Business-process alignment - Capturing and analyzing context - Composition and orchestration of software services - Design and architecture of software services and service-based systems - Infrastructure and middleware support - Life-cycle models and processes for service-based systems - Monitoring, testing and verification of services and service-based systems - Negotiation and service-level agreements - Quality assurance of service-based systems - Requirements engineering for services and service-based systems - Service quality modelling BACKGROUND The service-oriented paradigm is emerging as a new way to engineer systems that are composed of and exposed as services for use through standardized protocols. Service-based systems are pushing traditional software engineering problems - such as requirements, specification, distribution, componentization, composition, verification, and evolution - to their extreme. Different stakeholders, with diverse and possibly conflicting goals are involved: Clients may use or compose existing services for their own benefit. Service integrators may compose third-party services to provide new, added-value services. Service providers develop, deploy, manage, and evolve software services for a marketplace. When a service is exposed, a specification of its functional and quality properties is made available to allow other parties to search, discover, negotiate, use, and bind them dynamically. Service-based systems can be seen as a radical evolution from traditional component-based systems. They are made out of services, which are autonomous parts that may evolve at runtime and that are independently conceived and developed by different stakeholders. Service-based systems must be able to cope with this and other kinds of changes such as changes in the requirements, in business processes, in the context or in the services they rely on. Moreover, they should offer a variety of strategies to cope with changes ranging from self-adaptation to human in the loop adaptation Extreme flexibility and continuous change may conflict with dependability. Most traditional software engineering approaches understand quality assurance as a development-time concern. Service-based systems require that quality assurance is extended over the entire lifetime of a system, including runtime, when it is operational and providing service. For example, it is necessary to monitor a running system and its context, and check whether it continues to fulfil its requirements, after an adaptation of the system has occurred or a new or even different service has been included in the system.

[Fwd: [isworld] New Book: The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring]
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] New Book: The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring Datum: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 08:03:29 +0100 Von: Ilan Oshri <Ilan.Oshri(a)wbs.ac.uk> Antwort an: Ilan Oshri <Ilan.Oshri(a)wbs.ac.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring by Ilan Oshri, Julia Kotlarsky and Leslie P. Willcocks The global offshore outsourcing market for IT and business services exceeded $55 billion in 2008 and some estimates suggest an annual growth rate of 20% over the next five years. Furthermore, over 200 firms from the Forbes 2000 companies and 50 per cent of the Fortune Global 500 had offshored IT and business process activities through captive centres, making a total of about $9bn of business. The phenomenon of offshoring and offshore-outsourcing is certainly expanding. It has become increasingly important to understand the phenomenon, not least as a basis for suggesting what directions it will take, its impacts, how it has been conducted, and how its management can be better facilitated. This book offers a broad perspective on various issues relating to the sourcing of systems and business processes in a national and global context. The authors examine both the client's and the vendor's involvement in sourcing relationships by putting the emphasis on the capabilities that each side should develop prior to entering a relationship but also that they should develop as a result of their interactions with each other. Some of the endorsements we received for this book: 'Written by outstanding academics well-recognized for their expertise on the topic, this long-awaited book is a must have to anybody embarking on the process of global sourcing or seeking to enhance their existing knowledge. It provides a comprehensive conceptual overview of three crucial aspects of global sourcing - strategy, governance, and daily management - supplemented by well-researched case studies and lively examples.' - Professor Natalia Levina, NYU Stern School of Business 'In a truly globalized world, customers are looking not just at delivery excellence from service providers, but also global execution capabilities. Outsourcing providers need to look beyond standardized services to include innovation and transformation capabilities, embedded into their offering. This requires providers to focus on the customer's business, understand the issues and then provide solutions. This book provides a very good customer-centric view of how providers need to approach the market.' - Girish Ramachandran, Corporate Director - Strategic Business, Tata Consultancy Services 'Outsourcing and offshoring are commonplace terms, but they're often poorly understood and inexpertly practiced. Yet there is much 'out' left in 'sourcing,' and even more 'off' ahead of us in 'shoring.' The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring is an intelligent user's manual – essential reading for those starting out as well as those who find they may have strayed off course.' - Dr. John Hindle, Senior Manager, Global Marketing, Accenture 'Out of sight but not out of mind' could well be the motto of this book. It is a 'must read' for those studying the global phenomenon and in managing outsourcing relationships. The frustrations and rising costs experienced by many can and need to be avoided. The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring goes a long way in providing insights drawn from real-world experience in reducing the risks.' - Professor Robert D. Galliers, Provost, Bentley College. 'Sourcing optimization is a key strategic lever being deployed by global corporations as they adapt to the challenging business and economic climate. Sourcing practitioners will find this book a useful guide in terms of avoiding the common pitfalls that impact the success of such initiatives. The examples used in the book are free of jargon, drawn from real-life situations and easy to relate to.' - Srikanth Iyengar, Associate Vice President,Global Head of Business Development - SGS, Infosys Technologies Limited 'The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring is outstanding. It is both insightful and practical. It is useful for companies that are considering outsourcing as a growth strategy as well as those that out to provide high quality outsourcing services to its clients globally.' - John Peng, Sr. Vice President, Global Strategic Account iSoftStone Information Service Corp 'The Handbook of Global Outsourcing and Offshoring provides a broad and in-depth understanding of outsourcing from the client perspective. From the early days of outsourcing, client and provider companies alike have made innumerable mistakes. This handbook provides valuable guidance about what it takes to avoid the pitfalls and outsource successfully. This should be a required reference for any company considering outsourcing.' - Wendell O. Jones, Outsourcing pioneer and thought leader The content of the book: Overview Of The Global Sourcing Marketplace Sourcing Models: What And When To Outsource/Offshore Country Attractiveness For Sourcing Supplier Core Capabilities And Strategies For Sustainability And Growth Leveraging Knowledge And Expertise Client Perspective: Vendor Selection Strategy, Retained Management Capabilities And Legal Issue The IT Outsourcing Life Cycle And The Transition Phase Governance Of Outsourcing Projects Managing Distributed Teams Emerging Issues In Sourcing Strategy Our short bios: ILAN OSHRI is Associate Professor of Strategic Management, Rotterdam School of Management Erasmus, the Netherlands.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation Datum: Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:49:24 -0400 Von: Arthur Tatnall <arthur.tatnall(a)vu.edu.au> Antwort an: Arthur Tatnall <arthur.tatnall(a)vu.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 1, Issue 4, October-December 2009 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1942-535X EISSN: 1942-5368 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijantti Editor-in-Chief: Arthur Tatnall, Victoria University, Australia EDITORIAL PREFACE Arthur Tatnall, Victoria University, Australia This fourth issue of the first volume of the International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) marks the end of the first, highly successful year of the new journal. This issue contains four very different articles, dealing with the use of actor-network theory to analyze the reasons that more girls do not proceed to higher education in IT, an investigation of the development and implementation of IT strategy, the discussion of issues in intercultural communication, and the combination with social network analysis to conduct an investigation of chronic disease self-management models. To read the preface, please consult this issue of IJANNTI in your library. PAPER ONE �What�s Your Problem?� ANT Reflections on a Research Project Studying Girls Enrolment in Information Technology Subjects in Postcompulsory Education Leonie Rowan, Griffith Institute for Educational Research, Australia Chris Bigum, Griffith Institute for Educational Research, Australia Despite more than thirty years of gender reform in schools, the percentages of girls enrolled in information technology subjects in the post-compulsory years of education has remained persistently low: often under 25%. This article investigates data collected during an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant project (2005-2007) focused on identifying the reasons for this under-representation and ways in which the situation could be changed. This article looks beyond the official recommendations of the project to explore how the research experience and the data combine to raise important questions about the limits of research in this area. The authors discuss the difference between the researchers� perception of the problem under consideration and the participants� perception of the same issue.

Bali, Coventry University, UK Steve Goldberg, INET International, Canada Diabetes is one of the leading chronic diseases, and its prevalence continues to rise exponentially. This article presents the case for the application of a pervasive technology solution in the form of a wireless-enabled mobile phone to facilitate superior diabetes management. In so doing, the authors highlight the need for employing the S�ANT approach (Wickramasinghe and Bali, 2009) - namely the incorporation of actor-network theory and social network analysis - in order to support a network centric healthcare solution.

Even though Carr has controversially argued that IT does not matter, there seems to be prima facie evidence that even the most ambitious business vision still needs IT to enable it. As such, there has been much focus and emphasis on technologies and less attention on non-technical components in the development and implementation of IT strategy. This study focuses on the connection between the technical and nontechnical, including the relationships between actors in the development and implementation of IT strategy. The authors describe how actor-network theory (ANT) is employed to investigate the impact of non-technical factors on the development and implementation of IT strategy in an organization. ANT is used to provide a useful perspective on the importance of relationships between both human and non-human actors.

To narrow the scope of the research, the author concentrates on the role of participants in one type of intercultural exchange, namely in translation. Thus, such issues as translator(s), translation, languages, texts, and units are given a detailed study. An attempt will be made to show how ANT is useful in this area of cross-cultural communication.

This journal is also included in the IGI Global aggregated "InfoSci-Journals" database: <www.infosci-journals.com>. ***************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Mission of IJANTTI: The mission of the International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) is to provide a forum for both general discussion of actor-network theory (ANT), and examples of its use in offering explanations for socio-technical phenomena, particularly those related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It is over twenty years now since Latour, Callon, and Law put together their ideas and concepts in the first papers on ANT, but for some time ANT was regarded by many as little more than a curiosity. In recent years however, the ICT research community has begun to discover the power of using ANT as an explanatory framework for many of the things in which it is interested. Implementation and use of information and communication technologies inevitably involves the interactions of both technology and people, and this is the area in which ANT is particularly useful. The main goal of this journal will be to facilitate international growth in the body of research investigating the value of using actor-network theory as a means of understanding socio-technical phenomena and technological innovation. Coverage of IJANTTI: This journal covers a range of topics related to actor-network theory (ANT). These topics will include the development of actor-network theory itself, as well as case studies of its use to assist in the explanation of various socio-technical phenomena. It will also include topics relating to technological innovation; both those using actor-network theory as an explanatory framework and those using other approaches. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: Analytical case studies of the use of ANT for investigating technological applications in various other areas Analytical case studies of the use of ANT to investigate the implementation and use of information and communication technologies Case studies, involving ANT or other analytical frameworks, of technological innovation, and the implementation and use of information and communication technologies Comparison of the various different approaches to framing technological innovation Descriptions of ANT research methods, and the conduct of ANT research Development, evaluations, criticisms, and triumphs of ANT Innovation translation as an approach to explaining technological innovation Other approaches to the explanation of technological innovation, including innovation diffusion, the technology acceptance model, and ecological models of innovation Other papers relating to examples of technological innovation Proposals of analytical frameworks that build on, and go beyond ANT Use of ANT in the investigation of historical examples of technological innovation Interested authors should consult the journal's manuscript submission guidelines at www.igi-global.com/ijantti.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] 2nd Call for Papers Schwerpunktheft 5/2010 BISE/Wirtschaftsinformatik: Konstruktionsforschungin der Wirtschaftsinformatik - Einreichungsschluss 2009-12-01 Datum: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:18:21 +0200 (CEST) Von: robert.winter(a)unisg.ch Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; BISE/Wirtschaftsinformatik – 2nd Call for Papers für Schwerpunktheft 5/2010 : Konstruktionsforschung in der Wirtschaftsinformatik Die gestaltungsorientierte Forschung in der Wirtschaftsinformatik dominiert nicht nur in den deutschsprachigen Ländern, sondern es finden sich auch viele gestaltungsorientiert arbeitende Forschende u.a. in Nordeuropa, den Niederlanden, Italien und Australien. Während beschreibungsorientierte Forschung in der Wirtschaftsinformatik auf Theoriebildung, d.h. die Erarbeitung und Validierung generischer Ursache-Wirkungs-Beziehungen zielt, ist das Ziel gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung die Konstruktion nützlicher, generischer Problemlösungen für relevante, wichtige Probleme im Kontext des Einsatzes von Informations- und Kommunikationssystemen in Unternehmen, Verwaltungen oder im Privathaushalt. Sowohl beschreibungsorientierte wie auch gestaltungsorientierte Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung wird durch „Meta-Forschung“ begleitet, die entsprechende Erkenntnisprozesse und -ergebnisse reflektiert und Qualitätskriterien für die Rigorosität des jeweiligen Ansatzes definiert. Für die gestaltungsorientierte Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung wird die „Meta-Forschung“ im Folgenden als Konstruktionsforschung bezeichnet. In der beschreibungsorientierten Forschung ist quantitative statistische Signifikanz als Rigorositätskriterium etabliert – aber die Problemlösungsrelevanz der Ergebnisse variiert stark. Im Gegensatz dazu ist in der gestaltungsorientierten Forschung der Problemlösungsnutzen als Relevanzkriterium etabliert – aber die Rigorosität der Konstruktion und Evaluation der Artefakte variiert stark. Konstruktionsforschung ist wichtig, da die Rigorosität gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung weit weniger stark spezifiziert und allgemein akzeptiert ist als ihr beschreibungsorientiertes Pendant. Zwar findet sich eine Vielzahl konkreter Vorschläge für nützliche Artefakte. Zum Gegenstand, zu Zielen, zum Prozess oder zu Evaluationsstandards gestaltungsorientierter Forschung gibt es einzelne Beiträge, jedoch keine belastbare Übereinkunft. Ein Beispiel ist die Debatte, inwieweit Theorien bzw. „überprüfbare Gestaltungshypothesen“ neben Konstrukten, Modellen, Methoden und Instanziierungen zulässige Gegenstände gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatikforschung sein dürfen oder sollen. Beiträge aus Forschung und Praxis sind u. a. zu folgenden Themenfeldern erwünscht: - Gegenstand gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung - Ergebnistypen gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung - Erkenntnisprozess gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung - Anspruchsgruppen gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung und ihre Anforderungen - Kreativität und Innovation in gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung - Ziele gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung - Methoden gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung - Evaluation gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung (konstruktive wie auch analytische Qualitätssicherung) - Konstruktionsprinzipien gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung - Die Rolle der Informatik in gestaltungsorientierter Wirtschaftsinformatik-Forschung Einreichung von Beiträgen Bitte senden Sie vollständige Beiträge bis spätestens 2009-12-01 an Prof. Dr. Robert Winter (robert.winter(a)unisg.ch).
