-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Volume 1 Issue 4 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction Datum: Thu, 31 Dec 2009 10:32:18 -0500 Von: Ping Zhang <pzhang(a)syr.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> (apologies for cross posting.) Announcing the Publication of Volume 1 Issue 4 of /AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction/ (_http://thci.aisnet.org_) I am proud to announce the publication of its fourth and last issue of Volume 1. /THCI/ is located within the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library (_http://aisel.aisnet.org_). To increase awareness and readership, /THCI/ is *freely available* to everyone during its first two years of publishing (2009 and 2010). You can find information related to all aspects of /THCI/ at its website, including how to submit. ================== In this issue ================== "Diagnosing and Managing Online Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Relationships: Toward an eCommerce B2C Relationship Stage Theory" By Damon E. Campbell, John D. Wells, and Joseph S. Valacich The emergence of eCommerce has provided organizations with an unprecedented opportunity to take advantage of business-to-consumer (B2C) interactions. Generally speaking, relationships move through various stages, when a customer chooses to establish a relationship with a person or an organization. Likewise, when a customer forms an ongoing relationship with an online organization, it progresses through similar stages. Yet, the IT-mediated nature of B2C eCommerce interactions causes the manifestation of these stages to be different from offline B2C interactions. As such, this paper proposes a theoretical framework for examining stages of online B2C relationships, based on Stage Theory. The proposed eCommerce B2C Relationship Stage Theory (eB2C-RST) highlights three stages of eCommerce B2C relationships from the customer's perspective: Attraction, Build-Up, and Continuance. This theoretical framework provides a foundation for both research and practice in the areas of interface design and online B2C customer relationship management. ================== Call for Papers ================== /THCI/ is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, /THCI/ is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. Topics of interest to /THCI/ include but are not limited to the following: * The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction * User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types * Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization * Social media; social computing; virtual communities * Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction * User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains * Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction, evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems * Information systems usability engineering; universal usability * The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity * Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units * Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of learning * Gender and information technology * The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction * Issues in HCI education The language for the journal is English. The audience includes international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September, and December. The AIS Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction (SIGHCI, _http://sigs.aisnet.org/SIGHCI/_) is the official sponsor for /THCI/. ================== Call for Special Issue on Design Research in HCI ================== Design Research creates, builds, and evaluates innovative artifacts such as constructs, frameworks, models, methods, and information systems. It also investigates methods, behaviors, and processes related to design. HCI Research is concerned with the ways humans interact with information, technologies, and tasks, especially in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. Although design, implementation, and evaluation of interactive information systems for human use in various contexts for various purposes are central parts of HCI research, IS scholars have yet to invest more effort on the design part of HCI. The critical role of design research in HCI is obvious. This special issue of THCI calls for innovative design research where the innovative artifacts are information and communication technologies (ICT) for human use. Emphasis can be on both the human and the ICT sides of the interaction. On the human side, use design draws from the knowledge base of psychology, social sciences, and human factors. On the ICT side, interface and interaction design draws from the knowledge base of computer graphics, sensory peripheral devices, and other technical areas to build user interfaces that enable effective system use. Topics include but are not limited to: . Science and/or theories for design in HCI . Philosophical foundation of design in HCI . New principles and methods of design in HCI . Specific design innovations to support individuals, groups, organizations or societies . Design aesthetics, emotional design, affective computing . Evaluating and comparing new interactions and interfaces . Integration of new technologies in HCI designs . Best practices of design in HCI . Impacts of mobility and distributed computing in HCI designs . Impacts of service-oriented architectures and cloud computing on HCI designs . Ethical issues of HCI design Information for Authors: Please refer to THCI website (_http://thci.aisnet.org_) for manuscript requirements, including manuscript categories, format requirement, length, reference style, etc. All manuscripts should be submitted to THCI manuscript central (_http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/thci_) following the standard submission process where authors can request preferred or not preferred reviewers. Drs. Hevner and Zhang, co-editors of the special issue, will jointly manage the reviews for the special issue. THCI board members and ad hoc reviewers will be invited to review the manuscripts. The review process and criteria will follow those of THCI's. All reviews are double blind. Manuscripts (and revisions) will be processed as soon as they are submitted.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2010 Minitrack on Information Technology and Innovation Datum: Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:20:24 -0500 Von: Chi, Lei <CHIL2(a)rpi.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems August 12-15, 2010, Lima, Peru Track: Strategic Use of IT Minitrack: Information Technology and Innovation DESCRIPTION: Innovations are agents of "creative destruction": they can destroy existing markets and yet often yield vast new market opportunities, substantially changing the competitive landscape in the market. Innovation can take many different forms at multiple stages along the innovation pathway, for example, developed new ideas or technical solutions that often take the form of patent inventions, new ways of conducting business processes, new product and service introductions, diffusion of newly released products and services, and revenues generated from new product and service sales. While there are many ways a firm can be competitive, innovation is one of the most effective ways of achieving competitive advantage in today's highly competitive market. Moreover, the urgency of attempting and attaining continuous innovation with the help of technology tools to manage the critical knowledge resource has been at the forefront. Information technology (IT) has become critical for supporting knowledge management initiatives and enabling innovation. IT enables to better manage the creation, dissemination, and usage of knowledge and makes firms more productive and competitive. However, an extensive survey of the existing literature on IT and management reveals that there is a conspicuous gap in the literature between IT and innovation. IT's contribution and assistance in supporting, building, and strengthening a firm's innovation has been increasingly recognized. Yet, limited research has been done to systematically examine the link between IT and innovation. The primary focus of prior studies tends to examine the relationships between IT investment and firm performance as measured by labor productivity, profitability, administrative and operational efficiency. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): · Empirical studies of roles of IT in one or more stages of innovation · Theoretical modeling of effects of IT on innovation · Experimental studies or computer simulations of roles of IT in innovation · Case studies of effects of specific IT systems on innovation · Roles of IT in initial brainstorming stage of innovation · Roles of IT in converting initial ideas to products/services · Roles of IT in customer innovation, e.g., in engaging customers in the product/service design process, or in reaching customers and arranging distribution channels for new products/services · Roles of IT in supporting partnerships for innovation · Roles of IT in healthcare innovation IMPORTANT DATES: February 26, 2010 - Deadline for paper submissions. April 12, 2010 - Notification of acceptance of papers. April 26, 2010 - Final paper due. SUBMISSION SITE: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010 MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS: K.D.

Kauffman*, Arizona State University; rkauffman(a)asu.edu <mailto:rkauffman@asu.edu> * **Angsana A. Techatassanasoontorn*, Pennsylvania State University; angsanat(a)ist.psu.edu <mailto:angsanat@ist.psu.edu> *Motivation* There is a growing recognition that adoption and extensive diffusion of new ITs and technological innovations are critical for individuals to have meaningful engagements in an information society. Similarly important are new IT and technology innovations that help organizations to survive and thrive in the highly competitive environment of the global economy. Another frontier for impact is at the country level for sustainable social and economic development. Some examples include the emergence of new technologies, such as mobile and Internet-based telephony, open software systems, infrastructure and application support for digital social networks, digital entertainment services on the Internet, and more intelligent hardware-based data storage systems. Their incorporation into innovative products and services has had dramatic benefits at all these levels. The adoption and diffusion of new technologies and innovations research literature is voluminous and has identified a number of factors associated with adoption and diffusion across multiple levels. For instance, the technology acceptance model offers a parsimonious theory to explain individual acceptance of a new innovation. Similarly, cumulative research at the organizational and interorganizational levels has been able to explain innovation-related needs and abilities that are associated with different adoption behaviors. However, as a number of leading senior scholars and industry observers have expressed, there still are many opportunities for theory development in the adoption and diffusion of new innovations area. For example, Lucas et al. (2007) stated that much research up to the present has emphasized individual adoption and acceptance of innovations. They called for a broader umbrella of research that offers rich theorizing for innovations with technology by accounting for the relevant technological, institutional, and historical contexts. Fichman (2004) called for research to move beyond the dominant paradigm of establishing the relationships between the independent variables of innovator profiles, and the dependent variables of innovation quantity. Some of the most promising opportunities for theory development involve such topics as contagion effects, management fashion, innovation mindfulness, technology ecosystems and innovation life cycles, innovation configurations, technology destinies, the evolution of standards organizations, and quality-led innovation. Moreover, there are many new methods that can address research questions and offer new approaches for theory development. For example, survival analysis from public health and spatial econometrics from geographical information systems offer new ways to support the development of next-stage theoretical perspectives on the adoption and diffusion process for different technological innovations. The same can be said for data mining and other advanced statistical methods that blend techniques from computer science to emphasize the recognition of patterns and regime shifts and changes. A final aspect of the motivation for this special issue is to engage industry researchers, thought leaders, and practice innovators, who have special organizational, business, government and other context reasons for developing new approaches to understanding how technologies and innovations diffuse. Some recent examples of specific interest include the diffusion of social networking technologies, outsourcing and new approaches to IT services, and mobile and nomadic computing. Our objective of this special issue is to publish managerially interesting, rigorous, forward-looking, and innovative research that advances theoretical and methodological knowledge regarding the adoption and diffusion of new technologies and innovations. Some prospective topics may include but are not limited to the following: Advertising-related technology innovations Banking and financial services systems Blogs and social networking technologies Business intelligence & analytics Business process modeling innovations Digital media & entertainment innovations Digital music & artistic transmutations Electronic billing systems Electronic voting & e-government systems Financial market & trading technologies Financial risk management systems Healthcare systems and technologies High-definition TV systems & standards Information goods & digital products Information privacy & digital security ITs for economic & social development Location-based systems & services Management fashion developments Market operations & exchange solutions Mobile telecommunication systems Nomadic computing service innovations Online auctions and market mechanisms Online instruction & digital learning aids Open software and systems innovations Service-oriented systems & technologies Statistical methods for IT adoption study Technology ecosystem forecasting tools Technological innovation-led performance Technology stack, infrastructure changes Vendor-managed inventory, supply chain Vertical information systems standards Yield management and revenue control *Important Dates* Paper submission deadline: January 15, 2010 First review by: April 15, 2010 First revision by: July 15, 2010 Additional reviews/revisions: July 15, 2010 to December 1, 2010 Notification of acceptance: As early as possible, but not later than January 31, 2011 *Paper Format* Each manuscript page should have a 1-inch margin on the top, bottom, right and left.

BI investigates the essential functions of the brain, ranging from perception to thinking, and encompassing such areas as multi- perception, attention, memory, language, computation, heuristic search, reasoning, planning, decision-making, problem-solving, learning, discovery, and creativity. One goal of BI research is to develop and demonstrate a systematic approach to an integrated understanding of macroscopic and microscopic level working principles of the brain, by means of experimental, computational, and cognitive neuroscience studies, as well as utilizing advanced Web Intelligence (WI) centric information technologies. Another goal is to promote new forms of collaborative and interdisciplinary work. New kinds of BI methods and global research communities will emerge, through infrastructure on the wisdom Web and knowledge grids that enables high speed and distributed, large-scale analysis and computations, and radically new ways of data/knowledge sharing. The series of Brain Informatics Conferences started with The First WICI International Workshop on Web Intelligence meets Brain Informatics (WImBI'06), held at Beijing, China, December 15-16, 2006. The second conference, Brain Informatics 2009, was held again in Beijing, China, October 22-24, 2009. The Brain Informatics Conferences provide a leading international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields, such as computer science, information technology, artificial intelligence, Web intelligence, cognitive science, neuroscience, medical science, life science, economics, data mining, data and knowledge engineering, intelligent agent technology, human computer interaction, complex systems, and system science, to explore the main research problems in BI lie in the interplay between the studies of human brain and the research of informatics. On the one hand, one models and characterizes the functions of the human brain based on the notions of information processing systems. WI centric information technologies are applied to support brain science studies. For instance, the wisdom Web and knowledge grids enable high-speed, large-scale analysis, simulation, and computation as well as new ways of sharing research data and scientific discoveries. On the other hand, informatics-enabled brain studies, e.g., based on fMRI, EEG, MEG significantly broaden the spectrum of theories and models of brain sciences and offer new insights into the development of human-level intelligence on the wisdom Web and knowledge grids. Brain Informatics 2010 will be jointly held with the 2010 International Conference on Active Media Technology (AMT 2010). The two conferences will have a joint opening, keynote, reception, and banquet. Attendees only need to register for one conference and can attend sessions, exhibits and demonstrations across the two conferences. +++++++++++++++++++ Topics of Interest +++++++++++++++++++ CONFERENCE TOPICS AND AREAS INCLUDE, BUT NOT LIMITED TO - Thinking and perception-centric investigations of HIPS: * Human reasoning mechanisms (e.g., principles of human deductive/inductive reasoning, common-sense reasoning, decision making, and problem solving) * Human learning mechanisms (e.g., stability, personalized user/student models) * Emotion, heuristic search, information granularity, and autonomy related issues in human reasoning and problem solving * Human higher cognitive functions and their relationships * Human multi-perception mechanisms and visual, auditory, and tactile information processing * Methodologies for systematic design of cognitive experiments * Investigating spatiotemporal characteristics and flow in HIPS and the related neural structures and neurobiological process * Cognitive architectures; their relations to fMRI/EEG/MEG * HIPS meets complex systems * Modeling brain information processing mechanisms (e.g., neuro-mechanism, mathematical, cognitive and computational models of HIPS). - Information technologies for the management and use of brain data: * Human brain data collection, pre-processing, management, and analysis * Databasing the brain and constructing data brain models * Data brain modeling and formal conceptual models of human brain data * Multi-media brain data mining and reasoning * Multi-aspect analysis in fMRI/EEG/MEG activations * Simulating spatiotemporal characteristics and flow in HIPS * Developing brain data grids and brain research support portals * Knowledge representation and discovery in neuroimaging * Multimodal information fusion for brain image interpretation * Statistical analysis and pattern recognition in neuroimaging - Applications * Neuro-economics and neuro-marketing * Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) * Brain/Cognition inspired artificial systems * Wisdom Web systems based on new cognitive and computational models * MCI and AD diagnosis * e-Science and e-Medicine ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ On-Line Submissions and Publication ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ High-quality papers in all BI related areas are solicited.

Alberto Espinosa, Kogod School of Business, American University, alberto(a)american.edu Stephen Kaisler, SHK and Associates, skaisler1(a)comcast.net William DeLone, Kogod School of Business, American University, wdelone(a)american.edu Peter Loos, IWi at DFKI, Saarland University, Germany, loos(a)iwi.uni-sb.de Web site: http://eagle1.american.edu/~itdept/AMCIS2010_EA_Miniitrack_CFP.pdf <http://eagle1.american.edu/%7Eitdept/AMCIS2010_EA_Miniitrack_CFP.pdf> Enterprise Architecting (EA) is the process of developing an enterprise Information Technology architecture -- both its description and its implementation. An EA description focuses on a holistic and integrated view of the why, where, and who uses IT systems and how and what they are used for within an organization. An enterprise architect (and his/her team) develops the strategy and enables the decisions for designing, developing, and deploying IT systems to support the business operations as well as to assess, select, and integrate the technology into the organization's infrastructure. Alignment between business and IT has remained one of the top three issues for CIOs and IS managers for several years as reported by CIO magazine. An EA implementation focuses on remediating, renovating, or replacing IT systems in compliance with the EA description to achieve the proposed benefits. EA is central to the execution of business strategies. Organizations vary in their degree of EA maturity. While the research literature has devoted substantial attention to the development of effective EA frameworks and the alignment of business and IT, there is very little empirical evidence about the organizational benefits of EA. For example, we know very little about which processes, approaches or coordination practices lead to an effective architecting effort or whether this effort leads to measurable organizational benefits. Consequently, we are soliciting paper submissions that: advance our knowledge of EA; help us learn about effective processes and approaches to effectively manage the EA; and begin to identify ways to measure the organizational benefits derived from EA. Papers will be solicited in several areas, including, but not limited to the following: . Architecting Processes, Methodologies and Practices . Architectural Frameworks and Theory . Tools and Techniques Supporting Architecting . Service-Oriented Architectures (including Web Services) . System versus Software Architectures . Addressing EA Challenges . Integration of EA with IT Governance and SOA . Surveys and Case Studies . EA and Organizational Success Important dates: February 26, 2010 Deadline for paper submissions April 12, 2010 Notification of acceptance April 26, 2010 Final copy due Instructions for authors: The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references. All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2010 Minitrack: Users-As-Designers: Information Systems Modification and Secondary Design Datum: Tue, 29 Dec 2009 13:19:14 -0600 Von: Germonprez, Matt <GERMONR(a)uwec.edu> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hi everyone, We welcome new and innovative ideas in this minitrack. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Dirk or me. Sincerely, Matt Germonprez ================== Assistant Professor Information Systems University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire http://people.uwec.edu/germonr ****************CALL FOR PAPERS**************** AMCIS 2010 Design Theory and Research Track Minitrack on: Users-As-Designers: Information Systems Modification and Secondary Design Minitrack Chairs: Dirk S. Hovorka Bond University dhovorka(a)bond.edu.au <mailto:dhovorka@bond.edu.au> Matt Germonprez University of Wisconsin -- Eau Claire germonr(a)uwec.edu <mailto:germonr@uwec.edu> Objective and Aspirations The proliferation of user-modifiable information systems has engendered a shift in our conceptions of information systems as 'artifacts'. The shift away from provision of defined and preset applications toward dissemination of information environments that enable users to actively select and integrate information presents unique challenges to theory and research. The recognition of users-as-designers of systems has exposed a new problem space for the creation of information environments that are mutable, loosely coupled, and emergent. People engage in the interplay of continual creation, consumption, disengagement, and re-creation in a broad design process resulting in use-as-intended, and/or appropriation for some unanticipated purpose, or secondary redesign. The actions, created meanings, and processes by which 'designers' and 'users-as-designers' engage in design-redesign of information systems are poorly understood. Description Traditionally, information systems research has focused on building and evaluating information systems in accordance with performance criteria that are frequently not reflective of the range user intentions for which they are used in-situ. Much of the current design science research and theorizing focuses on programmatic building of artifacts and evaluation of performance in terms of utility and efficiency. Little research has examined design from the perspective of the user to understand how the people interact in the secondary design states of the system, what goals are accomplished, or what meanings are created through the recombinant design. Recent initiatives have demonstrated a shift from the provision of defined and preset information systems, to an environment that enables people to select and integrate pre-built technology services in the ongoing creation and re-creation of unique information systems. These initiatives make multiple, heterogeneous information sources discoverable and accessible by breaking through traditional barriers of location, structure and context. What faces us now is the reality that many of our information systems have multiple design states, including an initial design state and multiple secondary states, in an evolutionary trajectory of human-system-service interactions. Design can be viewed as a series of 'production' activities by people, and also 'interpretation,' 'appropriation,' and 'understanding' activities. Research questions of a deeply socio-technical, interactionist nature, and those oriented towards the roles of people and designers have not been addressed. Can design metaphors, the rhetorical framing of the problem space, or alternative epistemological approaches provide greater insights and understandings into this research? In addition, questions about appropriate means of design theorizing are under-developed in relation to theories that can offer insights into the production, interpretation, redesign and appropriation of artifacts by people-as-designers. Can understanding peoples' points of view help develop theory? How are recombinant systems disseminated into broad use? How can inherently flexible information systems, which encourage loosely coupled, ad hoc, temporary and emergence, be evaluated? This minitrack looks at this new problem space and the processes and interactions of design, people-as-designers, and design evolution from a broad perspective with the goal of informing both theory and practice. Suggested Topics ==Theoretical and conceptual foundations of people-as-designers== -Research approaches to explaining, understanding, or predicting redesign of tailorable information systems and services -Theory development for the phenomenon of secondary design -Principles of secondary design by people-as-designers -Multi-paradigmatic design approaches of tailorable systems and services ==Design and theory in information environments== -Ecologies of components vs. artifacts -Discovery and innovation with user-modified systems and services -Human action and reflection in secondary design ==Evolving information systems== -Reconciling design science frameworks with tailorable systems -Cycles of system innovation-dissemination-acceptance-(re)innovation -Principles of 'rigid' systems vs. mutable, evolving, and tailorable systems -Tailorable system production and interpretation activities -Designing interactions of systems and people vs. designing artifacts
