Please see below for a detailed description of the contents of this issue, as well as information on how to obtain copies of the journal or individual journal articles and on how to submit a paper to the journal. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to seeing your postings. Guisseppi Forgionne The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 1, Issue 1, January-March 2009 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1941-6296 EISSN: 1941-630X Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijdsst Editor-in-Chief: Guisseppi A. Forgionne, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, USA Editorial Preface Guisseppi A. Forgionne, Editor-in-Chief James Marsden, Associate Editor Decision making support systems (DMSS) are information systems that interactively support the decision making process of individuals and groups in life, public and private organizations, and other entities. These systems include decision support systems (DSS), executive information systems (EIS), expert systems (ES), knowledge based systems (KBS), and creativity enhancing systems (CES). Other DMSS, such as executive support systems (ESS), management support systems (MSS), artificially intelligent decision support systems (IDSS), and decision technology systems (DTS), integrate the functions of DSS, EIS, ES, KBS, or CES, to provide more comprehensive support than the individual separate systems. To read the preface, please consult this issue of IJDSST in your library. PAPER ONE: Effective DMSS Guidance for Financial Investing Guisseppi A. Forgionne, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, USA Roy Rada, University of Maryland - Baltimore County, USA This article seeks to close the support gap by offering a theoretical decision making support system for financial investing and illustrating the systems use in practice. Investment decisions have a significant impact on individuals, groups, organizations, the economy, and society. As a result, many formal methodologies and information systems have been designed, developed, and implemented to assist with financial investing. While these tools can improve decision making, none offer complete and integrated support for financial investing. The demonstration indicates that the theoretical system can improve the process of, and outcome from, investing.

Over the last 10 years, pervasive computing environments and mobile networks have become extremely popular. Despite the many end user benefits of pervasive computing, the intrinsic instability and context ambiguities of these environments pose impediments to data-oriented decision support systems. In pervasive computing environments where users, systems, and computing resources are distributed or mobile, the online or available state of decision support-related resources may be intermittent or delayed. Awareness or knowledge of these resources online presence and availability can affect the decision making process. A model for extending DSS resource presence and availability awareness to decision makers is presented and the impact of this knowledge on decision outcomes is evaluated using a management problem simulation.

These two research studies adopt different approaches in order to support decision-making process, in view to different research objectives. Nevertheless, the conclusions show complementary aspect of these two studies.

Yu, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan Katta G. Murty, IOE, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA Yat-wah Wan, GSLM, National Dong Hwa University, Taiwan Jerry Dann, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Taiwan Robin Lee, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, Taiwan Typically international airports have features quite distinct from those of regional airports. In this article, the authors discuss the process of developing a Decision Support System, and appropriate mathematical models and algorithms to use for making gate allocation decisions at an international airport. As an example, the authors describe the application of this process at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport to develop a DSS for making gate allocation decisions for their passenger flights.

In order to overcome the limitations of current collaborative technologies, in this article, the authors present a new large-scale collaborative platform based on argumentation mapping. The successful emergence of on-line communities, such as open source software and Wikipedia, seems due to an effective combination of intelligent collective behavior and internet capabilities. However, current internet technologies, such as forum, wikis, and blogs appear to be less supportive for knowledge organization and consensus formation.

[Fwd: [isworld] Security in Virtual Worlds and 3D Webs: Final Call for Chapter Proposals]
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Security in Virtual Worlds and 3D Webs: Final Call for Chapter Proposals Datum: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:09:28 -0500 Von: rea <rea(a)acm.org> Antwort an: rea <rea(a)acm.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Final Call for Chapter Proposals: Security in Virtual Worlds and 3D Webs Apologies for Cross Postings Proposal Submission Deadline: March 1, 2009 http://docrea.org/igi/ Call for Chapter Proposals Security in Virtual Worlds and 3D Webs: Models for Development and Management A book edited by Dr. Alan Rea Western Michigan University, USA Introduction This book intersects at least three major fields of research: Security, Virtual Worlds, and 3D Webs, you can choose to focus in one area more than another, as long as your chapter centers around one of the topics discussed below. Although one finds much discussion and research on the features and functionality of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), the 3D Web, and Virtual Worlds in both scholarly and popular publications, very little is written about the issues and techniques one must consider when creating, deploying, and managing them securely. Reports of cross-site scripting exploits in poorly implemented Webtops, risks of embedded viruses in social computing platforms, such as Facebook or MySpace, and technical and social engineering exploits in Multi-user Virtual Environments (MuVEs) represent some of the security challenges contemporary organizations face. This project will bring together the issues that managers, practitioners, and researchers must consider when planning, implementing, and managing these promising virtual technologies for secure processes and organizational initiatives. Objective of the Book In this book we will discuss the uses and potential of these virtual technologies and examine secure policy formation and practices that can be applied specifically to each. Authors will contribute guidelines, techniques, cases, and methods that explore security in Virtual Worlds and 3D Webs. The book will focus on research and discussions about planning, implementing, managing, and supporting these powerful technologies using accepted system development models, secure testing techniques, robust monitoring tools, and other accepted approaches. Moreover, discussions on security policy creation to guide development, as well as user interaction with these technologies will play an important role in the book. The book will also use cases to illustrate successful, and unsuccessful, implementations of RIAs, Webtops, and Virtual Worlds. Of course, this book would not be complete without looking forward to the potential security considerations and questions that must be asked as more organizations move into virtual offerings. Ultimately, this project will provide the latest research on virtual security in order to provide researchers, practitioners, and students the necessary background in theory and practice to deploy, plan, manage, and maintain robust and safe virtual offerings. Target Audience This book appeals to those interested not only in security but also advanced virtual offerings whether these are RIAs, the 3D Web, or Virtual Worlds. Security researchers, as well as researchers from diverse fields--computer science, information systems, psychology, sociology, and telecommunications--will find valuable research questions posed within the context of privacy, security, and trust as well. But this book appeals to more than just researchers. Practitioners and managers looking to offer robust virtual platforms will also benefit from the pragmatic techniques, case discussions, and implementation guidelines. In addition, upper-level and graduate-level students will find this research useful in their course work and research. Finally, this book will be a welcome addition to academic libraries' research collections. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following --Case Studies of Secure or Insecure Virtual Applications --Developing Secure Virtual Offerings --Hacker Attacks on Virtual Offerings --Identity or Data Theft in Virtual Offerings --Implementing Secure Virtual Offerings --Issues of Privacy and/or Trust in Virtual Offerings --Managing Secure Virtual Offerings --Secure Policy Formation in Virtual Offerings --Secure Virtual Models --Security in 3D Web applications --Security in Virtual Worlds --Social Engineering in Virtual Worlds Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before March 1, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of their proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by March 15, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 30, 2009. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of books under IGI Publishing, IRM Press, Information Science Publishing, CyberTech Publishing, and Information Science Reference.

[Fwd: Invitation to a Symposium on Peer Reviewing]
by Gustaf Neumann 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Invitation to a Symposium on Peer Reviewing Datum: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 04:46:26 -0400 Von: ISPR/KGCM 2009 <ispr(a)mail.ICTconfer.org> An: <NEUMANN(a)WU-WIEN.AC.AT> Only 8% members of the Scientific Research Society agreed that "peer review works well as it is". (Chubin and Hackett, 1990; p.192). "A recent U.S. Supreme Court decision and an analysis of the peer review system substantiate complaints about this fundamental aspect of scientific research." (Horrobin, 2001) Horrobin concludes that peer review "is a non-validated charade whose processes generate results little better than does chance." (Horrobin, 2001). This has been statistically proven and reported by an increasing number of journal editors. But, "Peer Review is one of the sacred pillars of the scientific edifice" (Goodstein, 2000), it is a necessary condition in quality assurance for Scientific/Engineering publications, and "Peer Review is central to the organization of modern sciencewhy not apply scientific [and engineering] methods to the peer review process" (Horrobin, 2001). This is the purpose of the International Symposium on Peer Reviewing: ISPR (http://www.ICTconfer.org/ispr) being organized in the context of The 3rd International Conference on Knowledge Generation, Communication and Management: KGCM 2009 (http://www.ICTconfer.org/kgcm), which will be held on July 10-13, 2009, in Orlando, Florida, USA. ------------------------------------------------------- Deadlines for ISPR 2009 and KGCM 2009 March 18th, 2009, for papers/abstracts submissions and Invited Sessions Proposals April 13th, 2009: Authors Notification May 27th, 2009: Camera ready, final version ------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Conference and Post-conference VIRTUAL sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so sessions' papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before the conferences, and after it is over. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions. All Submitted papers will be reviewed using a double-blind (at least three reviewers), non-blind, and participative peer review. Accepted papers of registered authors will be published in the printed copy and the CD versions of the Proceedings. The proceedings will also be published via web for Full Open Access. All attendees of the last KGCM 2008 conference, and its collocated ones, were asked to be surveyed online. Those who filled the survey form (602 attendees) rated the conferences with an average of 8.42 on a scale of 10. More specifically, 58.7% rated them in the range of 8-10, while just 7 attendees (1.16%) rated them below 5. More details regarding this and other questions can be found at: http://www.iiis.org/iiis/StatisticsandOpinions/WMSCI2008/ Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference will have access to the reviews made to their submission so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions. All accepted papers where at least one author is registered in the conference will be included in the hard copy and the CD versions of the conference proceedings. For Invited Sessions Proposals, please go to the conference web site. The best paper of each invited session will also be published in JSCI at no additional cost for the author Invited session organizers will be co-editors of the proceedings volume where their session's papers are to be included, and they will be guest editors of the Journal issue where the best paper presented at their invited session has been included. Awards will be granted to the best paper of those presented at each session. The best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference will be selected from these session's best papers, and will also be published in Volume 7 of JSCI Journal (http://www.j-sci.com/Journal/SCI/), with no additional cost for their authors. Libraries of journal author's organizations will receive complimentary subscriptions to at least one volume (6 issues). Best regards, ISPR/KGCM 2009 Organizing committee Chubin, D. R. and Hackett E.

Die IV-Beratung uebernimmt dort eine Mittlerfunktion zwischen Forschung und Praxis, wo sich die Moeglichkeit ergibt, die Umsetzung aktueller Forschungsergebnisse in der Praxis zu beobachten oder voranzutreiben bzw. die wissenschaftliche Aufbereitung von in der Praxis aufgetretenen Frage- und Problemstellungen anzustossen. Die angesprochene Mittlerfunktion aeussert sich nicht zuletzt in der Attraktivitaet der IV-Beratung als Arbeitgeber fuer Hochschulabsolventen. Trotz der grossen praktischen Bedeutung von Unternehmensberatung wird der Branche in der deutschsprachigen Forschung und Lehre noch zu wenig Aufmerksamkeit zuteil. Ein Grossteil wissenschaftlicher Veroeffentlichungen zur Unternehmensberatung thematisiert dabei Aspekte der Strategie- oder Organisationsberatung. Besonders gross ist das Defizit an wissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzung bei Themen der IV-Beratung, obwohl dieses Beratungsfeld einen substantiellen Anteil am Gesamtumsatz der Branche ausmacht. Im Rahmen dieses Workshops sollen Aspekte der IV-Beratung aus wissenschaftlicher Perspektive beleuchtet werden, wobei ganz unterschiedliche Zugaenge moeglich sind. Die folgende Aufstellung gibt einen (nicht abschliessenden) Ueberblick ueber moegliche Themen: * Beratungsmarkt: Strukturen und Trends * Verhaeltnis IV-Berater – Klient: Rolle von Macht und Vertrauen, Aspekte des Wissensmanagements, Netzwerkbildung und –entwicklung, Strukturen von Beratungsprozessen, Anschlussfaehigkeit der Beratung beim Klienten * Trends und Moden: Effekte und Treiber der IV-Beratung; Relevanz der Beratung * Konzepte und Strukturen der IV-Beratung: Geschaeftsmodell, Prozesse und Strategien von IV-Beratungen, Selbstoptimierung der Berater, beratungsunterstuetzende Informationssysteme, internetbasierte Beratung * Informationssysteme fuer die Steuerung von Beratungsunternehmen: Berater- und Projektdatenbanken, Auswahl- und Evaluationsmechanismen und –systeme, Beratereinsatzsteuerungen * Verhaeltnis von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft zur IV-Beratung: Praxisrelevanz der Wissenschaft, Beratung als Trendgeber fuer die Praxis und Forschung, Ausbildungsfunktion der Beratung und Ausbildung fuer die Beratung Beitraege mit anderen, hier nicht aufgefuehrten Themen, die ebenfalls einen klaren Bezug zum Rahmenthema aufweisen, sind ebenfalls willkommen.
