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

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: IEEE Software SI on Cooperative and Human Aspects of SE Datum: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:55:15 -0500 Von: Janice Singer <janice.singer(a)nrc-cnrc.gc.ca> Antwort an: Janice Singer <janice.singer(a)nrc-cnrc.gc.ca> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> IEEE Software Special Issue on the Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering Submission Deadline: April 8, 2009. Publication: Nov./Dec. 2009 Website: http://softwareresearch.ca/seg/CHASE-Software-SI/ We are soliciting papers for a special issue of IEEE Software focusing on the cooperative and human aspects of software engineering (CHASE). We seek high quality examples of multi-disciplinary research and practice that explore how cooperative and human aspects affect how software is created and evolved, both in terms of the challenges and the successes which arise when the human aspect is considered. We are looking for papers with practical reliable insights that can be applied in real-world software development contexts. We are interested in papers across the domain of software engineering (e.g., requirements, development, testing). All papers, however, must address either cooperative or human aspects as they relate to software engineering. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: · Software engineering as cooperative work; · Industrial experience reports examining the influence of CHASE in software projects, such as the influence of personality, leadership or effective teamwork in software development teams; · Social and cultural aspects of software engineering; · Psychological and cognitive aspects of software engineering; · Coordination in large scale software development; and · Cooperation between software developers and other professionals over the lifetime of a system. Examples of types of contribution include: · Case studies of industrial practice with respect to CHASE, · Experience reports of how CHASE issues challenged or were addressed in the context of a software development project, · Empirical studies of software engineering teams and individual software engineers in situ, using approaches such as ethnographies, surveys, interviews, contextual inquiries, data mining, etc., · Lab studies of individual and team software engineering behavior as long as the insights can be applied in real-world settings, · Novel tools motivated by observed needs such as new ways of capturing and accessing software-related knowledge, navigational systems, communication, collaboration, and awareness tools, visualizations, etc. The motivation for such tools must be clearly linked to the cooperative and/or human aspects of software engineering, and · Novel processes motivated by observed issues in cooperation and/or human aspects. Manuscripts must not exceed 5,400 words including figures and tables, which count for 200 words each. Submissions in excess of these limits may be rejected without refereeing. The articles we deem within the theme's scope will be peer-reviewed and are subject to editing for magazine style, clarity, organization, and space. We reserve the right to edit the title of all submissions. Be sure to include the name of the theme or special issue you are submitting for. Articles should have a practical orientation, and be written in a style accessible to practitioners. Overly complex, purely research-oriented or theoretical treatments are not appropriate. Articles should be novel. IEEE Software does not re-publish material published previously in other venues, including other periodicals and formal conference/workshop proceedings, whether previous publication was in print or in electronic form.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] E-health: Towards System Interoperability through Process Integration and Performance Management Datum: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 08:22:00 -0500 Von: Morad Benyoucef <benyoucef(a)telfer.uottawa.ca> Antwort an: Morad Benyoucef <benyoucef(a)telfer.uottawa.ca> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> E-health: Towards System Interoperability through Process Integration and Performance Management A Workshop as part of MCETCH 2009 (http://www.mcetech.org/) Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, May 4-6, 2009 WORKSHOP OVERVIEW Healthcare delivery is becoming increasingly complex as it shifts from care provided by a single provider and setting to collaborative care provided by multiple providers across multiple settings. For example patients with chronic illness frequently move between inpatient and outpatient settings and require collaboration by physicians, nurses, therapists, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals that act as an integrated network across hospital and community settings. The move towards integrated networks and collaborative care delivery is challenging for the fundamental reason that our healthcare system is not designed for it. Healthcare has traditionally been delivered in silos whereas system interoperability is a fundamental underpinning of collaborative care delivery. Achieving system interoperability requires increased focus on issues such as workflow and information management, security and privacy, and data and terminology standards. Two overall challenges to system interoperability are one, the need to integrate healthcare information and processes across different settings and two, the need to evaluate system accountability through performance management. This workshop will present current research on e-health technologies and the role they will play in solving the above challenges and ensuring our healthcare system is adaptable and sustainable in the forthcoming years. WORKSHOP FORMAT The workshop will feature research paper presentations in the morning and a panel presentation and discussion in the afternoon. The panel presentation will discuss the topic of low adoption rates of e-health technologies (i.e. electronic health record systems) by healthcare providers and how we can better link the designers and users of e-health technologies. The workshop will conclude with a summation of the e-health interoperability issues and a chance to form collaborative partnerships with the workshop participants. ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Craig Kuziemsky, Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario Liam Peyton, School of Information Technology and Engineering, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario Morad Benyoucef, Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario Norman Archer, DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors should submit workshop papers electronically to: Kuziemsky(a)telfer.uottawa.ca The body of the email should contain, in plain text, the following information: Paper title Author names Corresponding author Papers should be up to 6 pages long, in .pdf or MsWord format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Reminder - CFP - Decision Sciences Journal - New Frontiers in Collaborative Decision Making Datum: Mon, 9 Feb 2009 12:55:45 -0500 Von: Paulo Goes <pgoes(a)eller.arizona.edu> Antwort an: Paulo Goes <pgoes(a)eller.arizona.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers Decision Sciences Journal Special Topic Forum New Frontiers in Collaborative Decision Making Associate Editor Team Paulo B. Goes, University of Arizona José A. Pino, University of Chile Asoo Vakharia, University of Florida Deadline for submissions: March 1, 2009 In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in collaborative decision making in a variety of business settings. One major reason for this could be the increases in globalization of business operations leading to geographically dispersed executives and decision makers. Information technology plays a key role in supporting and facilitating collaborative efforts in these settings and the area of Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) addresses issues in the design, development, and implementation of information technology tools to support group decision making. Some of the well-known IT tools developed in this arena and used extensively today include web 2.0, social networks, wikis, multi-player games, and virtual team environments. From a business perspective, collaborative IT-based tools are vital enablers to address multiple strategic and tactical problems. These include new product design and development, coordination of virtual teams located across continents, vendor and outsourcing management, designing effective and efficient supply chains, and knowledge management systems There are a few documented success stories in the application of IT to support business decision making. For example ECR (Efficient Consumer Response) is one mechanism which has been used to enhance collaborative decision making in the supply chain. Another emerging concept in global corporations is the �24-Hour Knowledge Factory�, which can be used to support the collaborative efforts between globally dispersed team members. However, what seems to be lacking is some focus in terms of problem settings and corresponding tools/technologies to support collaborative decision making. It is time, therefore, to reflect on the value of IT tools and their applicability to support and enhance collaborative decision making. This is the major motivation underlying this STF in the Decision Sciences Journal. Topics of Interest for this special issue on the use of IT tools to support collaborative decision making include, but are not limited to: � Evaluating the current state of the fields of CSCW and decision making; � Reviewing, extending, and developing theoretical paradigms linking these fields; � New IT models, methods and techniques to enhance collaborative decision making; � Application of IT tools in supporting decision making in: o New Product Design and Development; o Supply Chain Management; and o Managing Virtual Teams; � Managing Knowledge �Factories� Building on the editorial mission of Decision Sciences, this STF seeks manuscripts utilizing diverse research approaches such as empirical, simulation, and/or analytical research methods. Articles published in this STF must meet Decision Sciences high standards of research rigor and originality, while embracing managerial relevance, not only in the research problem studied, but also in their impact on enhanced decision making. STFs consist of a collection of three to five articles that are published in a regular issue along with other peer-reviewed articles. Manuscript preparation and submission instructions can be found on journal�s web site at http://decisionsciencesjournal.org/Help/Author/author_Guidelines.cfm. In the cover letter, please indicate that your submission is for the New Frontiers in Collaborative Decision Making STF. The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2009.
