-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Special issue on mining the Web (Journal of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery) Datum: Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:00:33 +0100 Von: Myra Spiliopoulou <myra(a)iti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de A DECADE OF MINING THE WEB A Special Issue in the Journal of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (DMKD 2010) Call for Papers The Web has changed our way of living, doing business, exchanging information, establishing and maintaining social contacts. Scientists are investigating the phenomenon of the Web from different perspectives. Scholars in knowledge discovery and data mining have turned their attention towards the Web, almost as soon as people started using the Web for a variety of private and business activities. The analysis of human behavior in the Web and the support of knowledge extraction and information acquisition have been the topic of conferences and workshops for over a decade. Among them the WEBKDD workshop, organized since 1999 under the auspices of the ACM SIGKDD international conference on knowledge discovery and data mining, has served in establishing a community of Web miners, identifying the challenges of the practitioners and promoting innovative research solutions. About 10 years after this first workshop on mining the Web, we take a fresh look on research achievements and challenges ahead: we invite contributions that combine a retrospection of the achievements in the last decade with an in-depth discussion of current trends and new open problems for the next decade. We solicit both surveys with a strong visionary portion, and visionary works that build upon a solid methodological groundwork. Topics include but are not limited to: * web analytics * web search * recommender systems * personalization user modeling * online communities social web mining * Semantic Web * computational social science * mining from virtual worlds and games Submission procedure: The submission takes place in two phases. In the first phase, an extended abstract PROPOSAL of up to 6 pages should be submitted for evaluation. It should contain adequate information for the reviewers to assess the importance of the topic addressed, the width and depth of the research associated with it and the solidity of the vision promoted. Authors of accepted proposals will be invited to submit full papers. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://DAMI.edmgr.com. This online system offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures, and supports a wide range of submission file formats. The article type 'SI: 10 Years of Mining the Web' should be chosen when submitting to this special issue.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: ESWC 2010 - Software and Services Track Datum: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:25:19 +0100 Von: Andreas Metzger <Andreas.Metzger(a)sse.uni-due.de> Antwort an: Andreas Metzger <Andreas.Metzger(a)sse.uni-due.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ***** ESWC 2010: CALL FOR PAPERS "SOFTWARE AND SERVICES" TRACK ***** 7th Extended Semantic Web Conference | ESWC 2010 30 May - 3 June 2010 | Heraklion, Greece http://www.eswc2010.org/ ***** IMPORTANT DATES Abstract Submission December 15, 2009 (compulsory) Full Paper Submission December 22, 2009 (11:59 pm Hawaii time) Notification February 24, 2010 Camera Ready March 10, 2010 ***** ABOUT THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES TRACK The software industry in Europe competes aggressively, both for a share of the local market (representing 30% of global spending), and worldwide, resulting in a revenue in billions of Euros. Increasingly Software as a Service (SaaS) is opening up previously entrenched markets so that it is essential to support its adoption. Already, service-orientation has rapidly risen to prominence in application construction at enterprise scale, and ontology-based semantics has proven its usefulness in this arena. At the same time Web-based systems, especially in the context of Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web, are increasingly built from more lightweight, so-called RESTful services. This track is interested in both ends of this spectrum, and on the cross-fertilization of semantics-based support for the engineering, deployment, provisioning and consumption of services. Particular topics of relevance are: - Novel semantic descriptions for software services and service-based systems, including RESTful services - Use of semantics in the service engineering process - Matchmaking/discovery, ranking and selection of services - Data and protocol/process mediation - Tools for the manual creation of semantic service descriptions - Extraction of semantic service descriptions from unstructured and semi-structured sources - Automated composition and federation of services - Service science - Case studies and issues regarding adoption of semantics in service and software engineering - Exploiting semantics for service quality assurance - The role of semantics in context-driven service adaptation Papers should be submitted through the Easychair system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eswc2010servicesandsoftwaretr a ***** ABOUT THE ESWC2010 The mission of the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2010) is to bring together researchers and practitioners dealing with different aspects of semantics on the Web. ESWC2010 builds on the success of the former European Semantic Web Conference series, but seeks to extend its focus by collaborating with other communities and research areas, in which web semantics play an important role -- within and outside ICT. At the same time, ESWC2010 is a truly international conference, not only "European". Semantics of web content, enriched with domain theories (ontologies), data about web usage, natural language processing, etc. will enable a web that provides a qualitatively new level of functionality. It will weave together a large network of human knowledge and make this knowledge machine-processable. Various automated services, based on reasoning with metadata and ontologies, will help the users to achieve their goals by accessing and processing information in machine-understandable form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly intelligent systems, which will be employed for various complex decision-making tasks. Research about web semantics can benefit from ideas and cross-fertilization with many other areas: Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Database and Information Systems, Information Retrieval, Multimedia, Distributed Systems, Social Networks, Web Engineering, and Web Science. ESWC2010 will present the latest results in research and applications in its field. The research program will be organised in targeted research tracks. In addition, the conference will feature a tutorial program, system descriptions and demos, a posters track, a Ph.D. symposium, and a number of collocated workshops. The individual calls for these events can be found on the conference Web site (http://www.eswc2010.org/). ***** SUBMISSIONS ESWC2010 welcomes the submission of original research and application papers dealing with all aspects of representing and using semantics on the web. We encourage theoretical, methodological, empirical, and applications papers. The proceedings of this conference will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Paper submission and reviewing for ESWC2010 will be electronic via the conference submissions site. Papers should not exceed fifteen (15) pages in length and must be formatted according to the information for LNCS authors. Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format and will *not* be accepted in any other format. Papers that exceed 15 pages or do not follow the LNCS guidelines risk being rejected automatically without a review. Authors of accepted papers will be required to provide semantic annotations for the abstract of their submission -- details of this process will be provided on the conference Web page at the time of acceptance. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the conference. Submission site: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eswc2010servicesandsoftwaretr a ***** BEST PAPER AWARD An award will be given to the best paper (or papers) submitted to the conference as judged by the Program and Track Chairs in collaboration with the Program Committee. ***** INFORMATION AND CONTACT For further information please visit the conference website (http://www.eswc2010.org) or contact eswc2010_info(a)eswc2010.org The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] cfp for the AMCIS 2010 minitrack 'Business Models for the Digital Economy' Datum: Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:35:13 +0100 Von: HansDieter Zimmermann <hansdieter.zimmermann(a)fhsg.ch> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Please apologize cross postings ------------------------------ *Call for Papers for the AMCIS 2010 minitrack* * Business Models for the Digital Economy* ... an AMCIS minitrack since 2000! *Introduction * This minitrack serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and innovative approaches of business models beyond e-commerce for coping with the challenges of the digital economy. 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 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Please send to interested colleagues and students -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline for submissions (2nd call): 8 January 2010 -- IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE MOBILE LEARNING 2010 Porto, Portugal, 19 to 21 March 2010 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/) * Keynote Speakers (confirmed): Professor John Traxler, Director, Learning Lab, University of Wolverhampton, UK Professor Martin Valcke, Head of the Department of Education in Ghent University, Belgium * Conference background and goals Mobile Learning, a Retrospective Outlook Since its inauguration in 2005, the IADIS Mobile Learning conference series has provided a forum to present, discuss and promote international mobile learning research. Past conference themes have focused on pedagogical approaches most suited for mobile learning such as collaborative, contextual, and constructivist which support data collection, context & location awareness and distributed activities. In 2007 the conference aimed to harness an international perspective on the ‘big issues’ in mobile learning by discussing topics such as the conflict between personal informal learning and traditional classroom education, the evaluation of mobile learning and appropriate methods for this setting, the design of mobile learning activities and the integration of mobile devices in the broader educational scenarios, among others. In 2008, our concern was to explore various dimensions of the learners’ mobility for example, physical, conceptual and social, to discern how these in conjunction with mobile and fix technologies may support learning. Last year, the conference debated the increasing phenomenon of user generated content, in particular mobile media. Five years on, the IADIS Mobile Learning 2010 International Conference seeks to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of mobile learning research which provides a retrospective outlook of the field. We seek contributions under the topics below which illustrate developments in the field. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book and CD-ROM with ISBN, and will be available also in the IADIS Digital Library (accessible on-line). The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in the IADIS Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems (ISSN: 1646-3692) and also in other selected Journals. * 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. * Topics We invite researchers, practitioners, developers and all those working in the mobile learning arena to submit work under the following topics: • Pedagogical approaches and theories for mLearning • mLearning in formal educational institutions • Integrating mLearning with broader educational scenarios • Informal and lifelong mLearning • Learner mobility & transitions across physical, conceptual, social space and technologies • User Studies in mLearning • Mobile social media & user generated content • Enabling mLearning technologies, applications & uses • Evaluation and evaluation methodologies for mLearning • Tools, technologies and platforms for mLearning • Mobile Web 2.0 applications for mLearning • Mobile game-based learning * 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, 19 to 21 March 2010 * Conference Location The conference will be held in Porto, Portugal. * Secretariat IADIS Secretariat - IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE MOBILE LEARNING 2010 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)mlearning-conf.org Web site: http://www.mlearning-conf.org/ * Program Committee Mobile Learning 2010 Program Chair Inmaculada Arnedillo Sánchez, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Mobile Learning 2010 Conference Chair Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Steering Committee to be announced Committee Members: * * for committee list please refer to http://www.mlearning-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 Information Systems 2010 (http://www.is-conf.org/) - 18-20 March 2010 * Registered participants in the Mobile Learning’ conference may attend e-Society and Information Systems conferences’ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://ss10.chennells.com//home/r.asp?SID=0&G=2> subscribe <http://ss10.chennells.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=1260…> forward <http://ss10.chennells.com/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&Hit…> unsubscribe <http://ss10.chennells.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neum…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.

Many frameworks, measurement approaches and theoretical concepts have been developed and proposed. At the same time, industry and researchers have provided us with many case studies and best practice. DIQ has been included as topic in many conferences; however, in order to reflect the foremost achievements in DIQ research, the research community needs to revisit and discuss not only the relevance but also the rigor in DIQ research. With this track, we aim to provide a platform for reflecting and validating current contributions in the domain and to discuss research approaches, research methods and research results of DIQ research. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on (re)validating current and prominent frameworks, approaches or concepts. With the focus of this Minitrack, the topic should aim to discuss research aspects of DIQ. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and research based on case studies, quantitative methods such as experimental and simulation but also empirical research to examine the existing models, methods, approaches and frameworks. Topics of interest ================== Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list: * Validations of DIQ research * Revalidation of previous DIQ research and frameworks * Scope of DIQ research * DIQ research models * DIQ research methodologies and approaches * Result types of DIQ research * Stakeholders of DIQ research * Evaluation guidelines and criteria for DIQ research * Approaches and success factors of Collaborative Research (Industry & Academia) * Creativity and innovation in DIQ research * Supervising and managing DIQ research * Comparison with and relation to other research domains * Evaluation and improvement of DIQ research (methods and results) Paper submissions ================= The AMCIS2010 Paper Template can be found at http://www.amcis2010.org/home/documents/amcis2010_paper_template.doc After formatting the paper, please log into to the Manuscript Central Submission Site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010) and choose Minitrack of Validation and Research Methodology in Data and Information Quality for your submission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP for the AMCIS 2010 minitrack on "Information Systems Success & Benchmarking" / opportunity for fast track publication in BPMJ Datum: Thu, 10 Dec 2009 10:46:08 +0100 Von: Nils.Urbach(a)ebs.edu An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (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 the 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).

Fwd: [isworld] 2nd CFP: Principled Design and Evaluation of Adaptive Systems (UMUAI Special Issue)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2nd CFP: Principled Design and Evaluation of Adaptive Systems (UMUAI Special Issue) Datum: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 16:45:13 -0500 Von: Alfred Kobsa <kobsa(a)uci.edu> Antwort an: Alfred Kobsa <kobsa(a)uci.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> From: Alexandros Paramythis<alpar(a)FIM.UNI-LINZ.AC.AT> Subject: 2nd CFP: Principled Design and Evaluation of Adaptive Systems (UMUAI Special Issue) (Apologies if you receive this message multiple times) ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Principled Design and Evaluation of Adaptive Systems User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction: The Journal of Personalization Research (An international journal published by Springer Verlag) Web site: http://www.easy-hub.org/umuai/ ======================================================= Updates from the previous CFP: * If you plan to submit a paper to the special issue, please contact the editors (umuai_specialissue at easy-hub.org) at your earliest convenience, to indicate your intention and the topic your submission will cover. * A web site and a mailing list have been set up for discussing prospective contributions to this special issue. If you are interested in participating in the discussions, or just want to receive progress updates, please contact the editors (umuai_specialissue at easy-hub.org). ----------------------------------------------------------------- The importance and benefits of involving users in the design and evaluation of adaptive systems have been advocated for a long time. In fact, user studies have become an integral part of papers published in the UMUAI journal, and indeed most papers published in the major conferences in the area. Although this is most definitely indicative of increasing maturity in the field, we are far from having solved all related outstanding issues: * Most papers report summative evaluations, aiming to establish the extent to which the use of an adaptation method has improved the system. Often more scientific insight can be gained from formative evaluations that inform and guide the development process of adaptive systems. * Most papers report on a single evaluation activity, often assessing the system as a whole only. More principled and rigorous forms of evaluation are possible, in which different system layers or components are evaluated separately, and more is learned about what causes success (or, more importantly in some cases, failure). * Certain success criteria have received a lot more attention than others. For example, for recommender systems, the focus has often been on recall and precision, rather than serendipity, privacy and trust. A more holistic approach to evaluation is needed, including the consideration of trade-offs between criteria. Metrics and methods for evaluating new criteria are also needed. This special issue aims to create a new point of reference for the evaluation of adaptive systems, bringing future evaluations to the next level. Rather than just encouraging evaluation studies, the goal of this special issue is to reflect the current body of knowledge on evaluation methods and methodologies for different types of user adaptive systems. We expect contributions will address the following core categories: * Papers describing novel methods that can be used for the user- centred design and formative evaluation of adaptive systems. * Papers demonstrating the value and benefit of success criteria used in the evaluation of adaptive systems, validating concrete evaluation metrics, or considering trade-offs between different criteria. * Papers describing frameworks for the principled design and evaluation of adaptive systems, that may provide guidance and serve as the theoretical underpinnings of future studies. All papers in the issue will undergo stringent peer-review. Papers proposing a new evaluation method, framework, or criteria will need to validate these proposals, for example through case studies and / or surveys. Authors will be expected to position their work in relation to a framework for the principled design and evaluation of adaptive systems, which will be summarized by the editors in an introductory article. This framework has been developed over the course of several international workshops (for more informaton see http://www.easy-hub.org/workshops/ ) and preliminary material for prospective contributors to the special issue has been made available on the issue's web site (see http://www.easy-hub.org/umuai/layered.dot ). To provide a coherent point of reference, authors are also expected to cross-reference their accepted submissions to each other, where applicable, in a second round of editing. Articles that describe a traditional global summative evaluation of an adaptive system should be submitted to the regular track of UMUAI rather than this special issue (contact the editors if in doubt). HOW TO SUBMIT Submissions to the special issue should follow the UMUAI formatting guidelines and submission instructions available at: http://www.umuai.org/paper_submission.html Each submission should note that it is intended for the Special Issue on Principled Design and Evaluation of Adaptive Systems. Note! Potential authors are asked to submit a tentative title and short abstract (which can be altered for the actual submission) ** at your earliest convenience ** to the special issue's editors (umuai_specialissue at easy-hub.org) to assist in the formation of a panel of appropriate reviewers, and facilitate discussions amongst the prospective contributors. UMUAI is an archival journal that publishes mature and substantiated research results on the (dynamic) adaptation of computer systems to their human users, and the role that a model of the system about the user plays in this context. Many articles in UMUAI are quite comprehensive and describe the results of several years of work. Consequently, UMUAI gives "unlimited" space to authors (so long as what they write is important). Authors whose paper exceeds 40 pages in journal format (including illustrations and references) are however requested to supply a short justification upon submission that explains why a briefer discussion of their research results would not be advisable. IMPORTANT DATES * Deadline for submission of title and abstract: At your earliest convenience, and not later than January 4, 2010 * Deadline for paper submissions: February 1, 2010 REVIEW PROCESS Submissions will undergo the normal review process, and will be reviewed by three established researchers selected from a panel of reviewers formed for the special issue. Barring unforeseen problems, authors can expect to be notified regarding the review results within three months of submission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] AIS THCI special issue on Design Research in HCI - call for papers Datum: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 15:00:09 -0500 Von: Ping Zhang <pzhang(a)syr.edu> Antwort an: Ping Zhang <pzhang(a)syr.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (http://thci.aisnet.org) 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. Important Dates (early submissions are welcome): ? 2010.2.28 Intent by email (optional). Authors may seek feedback from editors. ? 2010.5.31 Deadline for Submissions ? 2010.7.31 Review results to authors ? 2010.10.31 Deadline for Revisions ? 2010.12.31 Final decisions to authors ? 2011 The special issue will be published.
