-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFPs: IEEE Trans. on Evol. Comp., Special Issue "Evolving Developmental Systems" Datum: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:11:04 +0100 Von: Yaochu.Jin(a)honda-ri.de Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Call for Papers IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation Special Issue on Evolving Developmental Systems (http://www.soft-computing.de/TEVC_EDS_CFP.pdf) AIMS and SCOPE Computational modeling of biological development has received increasing interest in evolutionary computation, artificial life and computational systems biology. In the evolutionary computation community, evolutionary algorithms using an indirect coding or generative coding are believed to be more scalable in evolving highly complex systems, compared to those using a direct coding. The scalability of such developmental systems can mainly be attributed to the fact that the genetic information in the genotype can be reused more than once during the developmental process and that many constraints, particularly environmental constraints, can be incorporated in the phenotype without explicit encoding. On the other hand, due to the nonlinear nature of the genotype-phenotype mapping of such indirect or generative representations, the efficiency of evolutionary search may seriously degrade. A large body of research work on computational developmental systems has also originated from the need to modeling the early development of the body plan and nervous systems in artificial life research. Developmental models in different research may have quite different abstraction-levels of biological development, ranging from a set of re-writing rules to gene regulatory network model including metabolic reactions. In particular, developmental models based on the early morphogenesis of multi-cellular organisms have shown several attractive properties such as self-organization and self-repair. These systems have been applied successfully to solving engineering problems such as circuit design and multi-robot systems. With the recent rapid advances in systems biology and bioinformatics, understanding of developmental processes in biology has been enhanced greatly, which will definitely promote research on developmental systems in evolutionary computation and artificial life. THEMES This special issue aims to promote a strong interdisciplinary integration of expertise from researchers in evolutionary computation, artificial life as well as computational biology. Topics include but are not limited to: Scalable evolutionary algorithms using indirect or generative encoding Evolution of body plans and / or nervous systems using a developmental approach Self-organizing systems based on genetic and cellular mechanisms Developmental approaches to engineering design, e.g., circuits design and structural design Analysis of evolvability and robustness of developmental systems Evolving gene regulatory networks Benchmarking evolutionary developmental systems SUBMISSIONS Manuscripts should be prepared according to the Information for Authors section of the journal found at http://ieee-cis.org/pubs/tec/authors/ and submissions should be done through the journal website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tevc-ieee/ clearly marking “EDS Special Issue Paper” as comments to the Editor-in-Chief.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP for the AMCIS 2010 minitrack on "Information Systems Success & Benchmarking" / opportunity for fast track publication in BPMJ Datum: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 11:51:19 -0500 Von: Stefan Smolnik <Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu> Antwort an: Stefan Smolnik <Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2010) August 12 - 15, 2010 (Thursday-Sunday) Swissôtel Lima (http://www.swissotel.com/EN/Destinations/Peru/Swissotel+Lima/HOTEL+HOME/Hot…) Track: Performance and Measurement Minitrack: Information Systems Success& Benchmarking Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) has been increasing for many years. By 2010, International Data Cooperation expects the total expenditure on IT to reach 1.48 trillion US dollars (IDC 2007). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of information systems (IS) failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey carried out in 2006 in the USA indicated that only 62% of software projects were considered successful (Verner et al. 2006). The measurement of investments and developed systems' success, as well as the paradox of high investments and low productivity returns ("productivity paradox") therefore remains a top concern for both practitioners and researchers (Brynjolfsson 1993). During the last two and a half decades, research on measuring IS success - the clarification of an important dependent variable in IS research - has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success and identify t! he various causes of success or failure respectively. Complementary, the benchmarking method allows for an external perspective on the unit of analysis and therefore for an inter-organizational comparison. Thus, organizations are able to assess costs and benefits of IS with respect to a peer group. In addition, benchmarking establishes standards as well as a shared understanding and common procedures. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to present research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to assess and benchmark IS. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring IS success. Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness * Measuring IS success/effectiveness in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success * Critical discussion of existing approaches (D&M IS Success Model, TAM, etc.) * IS success factors and key performance indicators * Benefits management/measurement * Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries * Exploring security system success and security benchmarking * Cost and Benefit Measurements of Privacy and Security * Empirical studies evaluating different topics and kinds of IS such as - Customer Relationship Management Systems - Project (Portfolio) Management Systems - Knowledge Management Systems - Decision Support Systems - Collaborative Systems - Enterprise Systems - Management topics (e.g. IS strategies, IS governance) - IT service management frameworks * Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation * System Requirements lead to System Success Authors of selected papers will be invited to prepare enhanced versions for fast track journal publication in the Business Process Management Journal (BPMJ) special issue on "Information systems evaluation and benchmarking for business performance improvement" (http://info.emeraldinsight.com/products/journals/call_for_papers.htm?id=1870).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP Mini-Track: Designing Service Innovation @ AMCIS2010 Datum: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:02:58 +0100 Von: Björn Niehaves <bjoern.niehaves(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de> An: 'wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de' <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> CC: 'Erik.deVries(a)uva.nl' <Erik.deVries(a)uva.nl>, Björn Niehaves <bjoern.niehaves(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de> Apologies for cross-postings! ---------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2010) August 12-15, 2010, Lima, Peru Mini Track: Designing Service Innovation Track: Design Theory and Research Innovation of services is of great importance because services account for about seventy percent of employment and an equally large contribution to GNP in most developed countries. ICT is one of the main drivers for service innovation. The theme of service design, innovation and ICT has attracted increased attention in academic research over the last couple of years, even to that extend that several scholars, journals, governmental science foundations and managers of large R&D centers have called for a Service Science. The purpose of this mini-track is to contribute to theory on ICT enabled service innovation and ICT related design approaches for service innovation that are of societal relevance. We call for papers that treat design and service innovation socio-technically with positive outcomes for society and its citizen. Such outcomes might be citizens managing their needs for care, education or social services themselves; knowledge workers being enabled to focus solely on their profession and to work location independent; citizens and SME being able to meet their liabilities without too much administrative burden; improved financial control and quality of financial services, etc. We welcome papers that put citizens, customers or users at the center of service innovation and design. Because many innovations in services are of the service bundling kind, contributions with an inter-organizational, network or multi business unit perspective are encouraged. For the same reason we call for empirical work on new service concepts in the field of converging industries like traditional services, content generation industries and the media industry. As service innovation doesn't have to be highly planned and controlled and especially social innovation seems hard to plan, we are open to different perspectives including planned innovation, brickolage, drifting, actor-network or social shaping perspectives. ICT enabled service innovation is not restricted to the innovation of already existing services and service delivery processes. Technological innovations lead to the design of totally new service concepts, to the design of products with service components 'designed in', to the 'productization' of services or to the design of IS as a service. Furthermore ICT could be used to design tools or methods to conceptualize innovation or diffuse service innovation (like the design of virtual communities for service innovation or open source design and diffusion methods). Papers on the design of new service concepts, hybrid service-product concepts or ICT applications as service innovation methodology therefore fall within the scope of this mini track as well. The kinds of contributions that we have in mind could be multidisciplinary, analytic or empirical; could be done from all different epistemological perspectives; and could be on commercial or public services. We are open to contributions made by reflective practitioners or pairs of academic researchers and reflective practitioners. Suggested Topics: . Design approaches or methods to innovate service concepts or service delivery processes taking into account multiple interrelated social changes, the involvement of multiple actors and the design of ICT artifacts. . The determination of innovative service requirements in co-creation with customers and citizen taking into account different customer roles like co-creator, co-producer, content generator and consumer. . The design of innovative product-service hybrids. . Design and service innovation in the public sector . Design of ICT/information enabled customer experiences throughout service delivery processes. . Integration of design science and social science approaches to service innovation . The design of innovative client - company interaction technology and multichannel architectures and infrastructures. . Design of technology enabled service encounters and front office information systems. . Design of (mass) customization and service configuration tools. . The design of ICT/information/content driven business models. . Design and functioning of ICT enabled service networks/ecosystems and networks for information/content bundling. . Design of ICT enabled service network orchestration and coordination. . ICT enabled tools or methods for service innovation ideation or innovation diffusion. . The design of organizational and technological environmental scanning mechanisms for technology forecasting and adoption.

We consider an economy based on the digitization of information and the respective information and communication infrastructure as digital economy. This new type of economy implies not only technological, but also and especially structural and process-related challenges and potential. The way in which economic value is created will change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the structure of economies and societies. This evolution will radically alter processes and structures within and between industries leading to the digital economy. All of these developments characterize the emerging digital economy and cause new challenges businesses have to cope with. This clearly will have a major impact on how business models have to be designed. Therefore this minitrack addresses all topics concerned with the analysis, design, development, implementation, and control of future business models for the creation of economic value in the digital economy from a communication, organizational, business, economic, and managerial perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or practical approach. *Suggested topics include but are not limited to the following: * · Challenges and foundations of the digital economy · Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models · Design approaches/methods for new business models · Models and modeling techniques/approaches for new business models · Industry perspectives on business models · Challenges of changing and converging industries: o Media industry (e.g., publishing, music business) o Financial industry (e.g., emerging intermediaries, private/retail banking, insurance) o Telecommunications (e.g., mobile network operators) o Tourism industry · A business model perspective on o Mobile Business o Ubiquitous Commerce o Collaborative Commerce o Social Commerce · 'Web 2.0' business models · Trust and new business models You are cordially invited to submit your research to the mini track! *Important Dates: * February 26, 2010: Deadline for Paper Submission April 12, 2010: Notification of Paper Acceptance April 26, 2010: Camera Ready Copy Due *Mini Track Chairs: * Hans-Dieter Zimmermann FHS St. Gallen, University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland Ian MacInnes School of Information Studies, Syracuse University, USA Further information: AMCIS 2010 webpage: http://www.amcis2010.org <http://www.amcis2010.org/> Minitrack webpage: http://amcis-businessmodels.hdzimmermann.net <http://amcis-businessmodels.hdzimmermann.net/> ________________________________________________________________ Dr. Hans-Dieter Zimmermann Fon +41 71 228 76 53 Fax +41 71 228 63 39 Web http://www.fhsg.ch FHS St.Gallen, Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Institut IPM-FHS | Teufener Strasse 2 | 9000 St.Gallen | Switzerland

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 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.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] AMCIS 2010 Mini-Track on "Organizations, Information Systems, and Competitiveness" Datum: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:14:19 -0500 Von: Pratyush Bharati <Pratyush.Bharati(a)umb.edu> Antwort an: Pratyush Bharati <Pratyush.Bharati(a)umb.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Lima, Peru, August 12 - 15, 2010. (http://www.amcis2010.org/home/) Track Title: Organizational Issues in IS Mini-Track Title: Organizations, Information Systems, and Competitiveness Description: Information systems (IS) are integral to providing organizations a sustainable competitive advantage. According to strategy scholars, competitive advantage lies in value activities as a mutually reinforcing system and not separately in its parts. Information systems are the glue that makes a disparate system of activities an integrated and interlocking whole. With less successful firms persistently imitating winners, winning firms have to engage in a continuous quest to strategically relocate, reorder, and regroup their activities to retain their competitive lead. New systems of activities lead to organizations with novel capabilities and characteristics. Firms employ information technologies to not just redesign and refocus their value-chain but also to create new knowledge and to innovate. The need of IS, in the era of increased globalization, is most evident in multinational corporations' (MNCs) organizing their value-chain spanning the world. Information systems enable MNCs to develop a sustainable competitive advantage through this trans-national strategy. Information systems scholarship has focused on individual and group level issues of organizations. Studies focusing on organizational characteristics and IS architectures are now coming into vogue. The mini-track will provide an opportunity for presentation and discussion on issues pertaining to organizations and IS and their mutual impact on firms? competitiveness. The authors are encouraged to submit both theoretical and empirical work on organizations, information systems and competitiveness. Suggested Topics: Organizational IS diffusion and assimilation; Operational efficiency and IS; Firm-level e-Business challenges; IS enabled firm capability issues; Organizational IS, suppliers, and customers; Institutional environment, organizations and competitiveness; Organizations, IS and B2B/B2C contexts; Firm level challenges of enterprise resource planning (ERP); Knowledge management and IT strategy; Open-source software and competition; Case studies of organizational IS issues; Innovative qualitative studies of organizational challenges; IS strategy implementation and competitive advantage; MNCs and global IT strategy; Outsourcing strategy and IS; Industry-specific IS strategies; and Aligning IS and strategy for competitiveness.

As companies have to compete on the global market with their products and services, the sector of logistics and supply chain management (SCM) has become a critical success factor. SCM and Logistics have proven to be a very dynamic field, prompting the players to constantly keep up with the latest solutions and processes to stay competitive and agile. The international supply chains of multinational corporations that include many different types of companies across the globe have become sophisticated and complex systems. Their coordination requires new and creative ideas that combine technical, analytical and economical know-how to create innovative solutions to sustain the competitive advantage of a high-performance supply chain. The constant, successful exchange of ideas between the scientific community and practitioners has proven to be an ideal breeding-ground for innovative solutions in SCM and Logistics to encounter the ever-changing challenges companies are facing today. Innovative Processes and Solutions in Logistics and SCM - The HICL will provide a multidisciplinary network and forum for scientists and practitioners involved in logistics and supply chain management as well as in innovation management to interact with each other and exchange ideas and information on the latest issues in this field.

[Fwd: Information Systems 2010 in Porto, Portugal: submit until 8 January (2nd call)]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Information Systems 2010 in Porto, Portugal: submit until 8 January (2nd call) Datum: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 16:52:14 -0500 (EST) Von: Ana Sofia <ana.sofia(a)is-conf.org> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at ** Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students.** -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline (2nd call): 8 January 2010 ************************************************************* IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2010 March 18-20, 2010 – Porto, Portugal (http://www.is-conf.org/) ************************************************************* * Conference background and goals A new paradigm is sweeping the society, organisations and the business environment. In fact, society and business world alike are moving from its tangible bases to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS) to support its management, use and sharing. In this emerging paradigm, terms like information, communication, knowledge, and learning have acquired a critical relevance to the understanding of the nature of contemporary business. This led authors such as Drucker (1993) to state that “we are entering the knowledge society in which the basic economic resource… is knowledge”. In fact, since the mid-1980s, there has been a sudden avalanche of a new kind of vocabulary. Corporations, which so far had been economic entities, are being described as ‘information-based organizations’, ‘learning organizations’, ‘knowledge-creating companies’ or knowledge intensive organisations. Instead of product-market strategies, the fashionable business discourse invokes core competencies, intangible assets, knowledge-based capabilities, intellectual capital, knowledge management etc. Consequently, in this 21st century of ours, terms such as intellectual capital, knowledge management, and knowledge mapping have increasingly become part of the corporate landscape. However, none of this apparent revolution would be possible without the underlying technological support provided by IS. The IADIS Information Systems Conference (IS 2010) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS taking a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems. * Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * A set of key issues has been identified (see below). However, these do not aim at being prescriptive, or set in stone, and any innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be considered. Areas and Topics of the conference will focus on: IS in Practice, Technology Infrastructures and Organisational Processes • Power, Cultural, Behavioural and Political issues • New Organisational Forms • Dilution of Organisational Boundaries • The centrality of IS and IT in Organisational Processes • IS Management • Information Management • Knowledge Management • IS and SMEs • Innovation and IS • Innovation and Knowledge Management • IS and Change Management • IS and Organisation Development • Enterprise Application Integration • Enterprise Resource Planning • Business Process Change IS Design, Development and Management Issues and Methodologies • Design and Development Methodologies and Frameworks • Iterative and Incremental Methodologies • Agile Methodologies • IS Design and Development as a Component-Based Process • IS Design and Development as Social Negotiation Process • IS D Design and Development as a Global and Distributed Process • Outsourcing in IS • Outsourcing Risks, Barriers and Opportunities • IS Project Management • IS Quality Management and Assurance • IS Standards and Compliance Issues • Risk Management in IS • Risk Management in IS Design and Development IS Professional Issues • Ethical, social, privacy, security and moral issues in an e-society • The role of information in the information society • Myths, taboos and misconceptions in IS • Practitioner and Research Relationship, Projects and Links • Validity, Usefulness and Applicability of IS Academic Research • Industrial Research versus Academic Research Issues • Industry Innovation and Leadership and Academic Laggards • IS consultancy as a profession • Organisational IS Roles • Communities of practice and Knowledge Sharing IS Research • Core Theories, Conceptualisations and Paradigms in IS Research • Ontological Assumptions in IS Research • IS Research Constraints, Limitations and Opportunities • IS vs Computer Science Research • IS vs Business Studies • Positivist, Interpretivist and Critical Approaches to IS Research • Quantitative vs. Qualitative Methods • Deductive vs Inductive Approaches • Multi-method Approaches and Triangulations in IS Research • Design Research and the Sciences of the Artificial in IS • Multidisciplinary Views and Multi Methodological Approaches • New and alternative approaches to IS research • Examples of experimental research designs in IS IS Learning and Teaching • Patterns of Demand for IS Teaching Provision • Fads, Fashions and Fetishes in IS Curricula • Pedagogic practice in Teaching IS • E-Learning in IS • Instructional Design for IS • National Cultures and Approaches to Pedagogy • Multiculturality ad Diversity Issues in IS Learning and Teaching * Important Dates: - Submission deadline (2nd call): 8 January 2010 - Notification to Authors (2nd call): 5 February 2010 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration (2nd call): Until 22 February 2010 - Late Registration (2nd call): After 22 February 2010 - Conference: Porto, Portugal, 18 to 20 March 2010 * Conference Location The conference will be held in Porto, Portugal. * Secretariat IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2010 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3, 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)is-conf.org Web site: http://www.is-conf.org/ * Program Committee Conference Chair Professor Philip Powell, Deputy Dean, University of Bath, UK Program Co-Chairs Miguel Baptista Nunes, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Committee Members: for the full Committee Members list please access http://www.is-conf.org/committees.asp * Co-located events Please also check the co-located events: e-Society 2010 (http://www.esociety-conf.org/) - 18-21 March 2010 Mobile Learning 2010 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/) - 19-21 March 2010 * Registered participants in the Information Systems’ conference may attend Mobile Learning and e-Society conferences’ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://a.ss7.chennells.com//home/r.asp?SID=0&G=2> subscribe <http://a.ss7.chennells.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=126…> forward <http://a.ss7.chennells.com/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&Hi…> unsubscribe <http://a.ss7.chennells.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neu…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.
