[Fwd: [isworld] New deadline: Electronic Markets Vol. 19, No. 4 - Focus Theme Section on E-Collaboration and Communication Systems]
by Gustaf Neumann 03 Mar '09

03 Mar '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] New deadline: Electronic Markets Vol. 19, No. 4 - Focus Theme Section on E-Collaboration and Communication Systems Datum: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 22:42:34 -0500 Von: Kai Riemer <wikari(a)wi.uni-muenster.de> Antwort an: Kai Riemer <wikari(a)wi.uni-muenster.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Dear colleagues, We received some requests with regard to extending the submission deadline for the below CfP and I'd like to inform you that the new deadline is March 15. So, if you have papers dealing with eCollaboration, virtual teams, collaborative software, distributed work, instant messaging, social software in collaboration, etc., please consider our focus theme of Electronic Markets as a potential outlet for your work. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to interested colleagues. If questions arise regarding the submission deadline or potential topics please contact the journal editors (editors(a)electronicmarkets.org) or the special issue editors (wikari(a)wi.uni-muenster.de). With best regards, Kai Riemer ----------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers for the focus theme section on "E-Collaboration and Communication Systems" of Electronic Markets - The International Journal Guest Editors of the focus theme section: Kai Riemer (University of Muenster, Germany), Charles Steinfield (Michigan State University, USA), Doug Vogel (City University of Hong Kong, P.R. China) The CfP is available Online at http://tinyurl.com/5prcm6 Value creation in modern markets is increasingly carried out in collaborative arrangements such as business networks, clusters and alliances. Furthermore, work practices in organizations are undergoing significant changes due to trends of virtualization and the emergence of new communication technologies. In many organizations projects have become the prevalent way of working - people are often distributed across time, space, organizational, and cultural boundaries. At the same time organizations are increasingly dependent on the effective creation and sharing of knowledge within these dispersed work settings. Against this backdrop, e-Collaboration as a topic refers to all issues of ICT-based collaboration within and between organizations. With the emergence of new often Internet-based communication and collaboration systems, organizations today possess the technological capabilities to manage a wide range of dispersed value creation activities. However, while technology vendors stress the new possibilities offered by their products for managing collaborations, the realities in distributed projects, virtual teams, and inter-organizational networks quite often paint a different picture. E-Collaboration is a complex, precarious, and too often rather ineffective undertaking. To this end, we need a better understanding of the challenges, inhibitors, enablers, and contextual contingencies of successful e-Collaboration initiatives. We also need to better understand the nature and particularities of e-Collaboration technologies and the unique requirements they pose in various social settings. In doing so, we are especially interested in the usage of e-Collaboration technologies in inter-organizational collaborations. For example, many electronic marketplaces that started with the idea of supporting electronic trade transactions have come a long way and developed into platforms for enabling various inter-organizational value creation activities. Many inter-organizational platforms today are proffered with e-Collaboration technologies for supporting people collaborating in joint projects and processes. However, the particular challenges of these undertakings and the role of e-Collaboration technologies in such organizational settings is not well understood to date. We are pleased to invite scholars from any methodological background to contribute papers that advance our knowledge of the diffusion, appropriation, usage, impact and role of e-Collaboration technologies, in the context of distributed projects, virtual teams and various types of inter-organizational networks. We welcome theoretical, conceptual, design-oriented and especially empirical contributions using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Research efforts might focus on different organization levels such as teams, corporations, networks, and informal communities and on different e-Collaboration technologies. Typical e-Collaboration technologies reach from simple e-Mail, Instant Messaging, and social software tools to more sophisticated Web Conferencing, Project management, and integrated Unified Communications and Real-time Communication solutions. Papers in this focus theme section might address, but are not limited to one or more of the following areas: E-Collaboration activities, processes and scenarios - E-Collaboration in business networks and strategic alliances - E-Collaboration in virtual organizations - E-Collaboration in distributed software development teams - E-Collaboration in field service scenarios (mobile work contexts) - E-Collaboration in disaster response and crisis management - E-Collaboration in health care processes - E-Collaboration in regional clusters - E-Collaboration in open innovation initiatives and living labs - E-Collaboration in the consultancy business - E-Collaboration in multi-channel sales contexts (indirect sales) E-Collaboration research issues - Adoption, diffusion and appropriation of e-Collaboration technologies - Presence and awareness in distributed ICT-based work contexts - Credibility, trust and cooperation in distributed ICT-based work contexts - The role of space, place, and time in distributed ICT-based work contexts - Leadership in distributed ICT-based work contexts - Decision making in distributed work groups and cross-organizational projects - The role of e-Collaboration technologies in multi-project management - The role of e-Collaboration technologies in knowledge management - The role of e-Collaboration for agile software development methods - Emergent virtual communities of practice within and across organizations - Social networking using e-Collaboration technologies - E-Collaboration technologies for facilitating e-learning - The role of organizational culture in the proliferation of e-Collaboration Additional topic suggestions are welcome. All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets' publication standards. Methodological and theoretical pluralism (empirical or theoretical work, qualitative research, design science, prototypes ...) is welcomed by the journal.

Watson Research Center, USA Overview: -------- This special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Services Computing focuses on transactional Web services. Today's Web service-based applications require advanced transactional models that guarantee the integrity and continuity of business processes despite the dynamic nature that characterize the environments that host the execution of these processes. The development of such models has drawn the attention of both academia and industry communities. This special issue will shed light on the latest advances in the fields of Web services with focus on the transactional dimension. This special issue seeks original research and industrial papers on transactional models and approaches in the context of business applications built upon Web services. The Internet along with its related technologies have created an interconnected world in which services can be invoked anytime, anywhere, which increases the importance of making these services reliable and robust. For this purpose, Web services must be looked into from a transactional perspective. A variety of transactional models are created in the database community. Some of them can be leveraged and enhanced to support Web services while others are not suitable because of the dynamic nature of Web services, long-running execution scenarios, and successful execution despite failure. New transactional models for Web services are deemed appropriate. Papers describing advanced research and experiences on transactional Web services are solicited. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Transactional models for Web services - Recovery mechanisms and Web services - Transactional Web services standards and protocols - Transactional Web services in mobile applications - Fault-Tolerant mechanisms for transactional Web services - Case studies on transactional Web services Submission Guidelines: --------------------- Authors are invited to submit original papers using the journal Web site (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee). Submitted articles must not have been previously published or currently submitted for journal publication elsewhere. Authors must understand and adhere to IEEE Transaction on Services Computing submission guidelines available at URL: http://www.computer.org/tsc. The manuscript should not exceed 12 pages in double-column format. All submissions must include all of the following elements: title page, abstract, index terms, illustrations and bibliography. Acceptance will be based on relevance, technical soundness, originality and clarity of presentation. For further information on submission, please contact the guest editors.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: SOA Industry Summit (SOAIS 2009) Datum: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 01:23:47 -0500 Von: Tony Shan <tonycshan(a)yahoo.com> Antwort an: Tony Shan <tonycshan(a)yahoo.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ----------------- ** Apologies for cross-postings ** ---------------------- SOA Industry Summit (SOAIS 2009) Submission Deadline is March 31, 2009. http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2009/soa-industry-summit.html *****Paper Submission Site:***** http://confhub.com/MyPapers.php?cid=63 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architectural style that seeks to create a set of business-aligned IT services that collectively support an organization�s business processes and goals. As a cross discipline, this alignment of business and IT addresses how to enable IT technology to help people perform business services more efficiently and effectively. This 4th industry summit on SOA, organized by IEEE, is intended to bridge the gap between Services Computing and Business models that are supported by them, with an emerging suite of ground-breaking technologies that includes SOA, business process modeling, integration and management, grid/utility/autonomic computing, enterprise service bus and Web 2.0. The relative placement of these emerging technologies, standards and concepts need to be clarified for the pragmatic needs of the industry. THEME The SOAIS event is focused on industry practitioners who work on real-world systems, applying the SOA principles, standards, technologies, tools, protocols, solutions and management. These practitioners had exhibited the ability to combine multiple technologies, standards and initiatives within the SOA world in order to create a viable and pragmatic solution that has successfully been demonstrated to solve problems. In addition to best practices or, in the case of an emerging discipline, adequate practices that have proven successful are needed. In addition warning examples of how not to apply projects are also welcome because they provide a venue and context for avoiding common pitfalls in the combination of SOA resources that are often confusing to practitioners in the field. In consideration of the value of the time of such practitioners in writing a full-length paper, particularly for the people in the industry sectors, SOAIS 2009 is proposing a new format for paper submission. In place of the requirements of 8-page long research papers, we encourage the professionals and practitioners in the industry sectors to submit a 2-page abstract consisting of experience reports. It is recommended that a presentation document is attached with the abstract. Experience reports are expected to provide and describe new insights gained in the context of case studies or the application of SOA in practice. These papers will be evaluated on their relevance and significance to industries and the clarity of expression. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be included in the IEEE digital library and Engineering Index (EI) database. CATEGORIES OF INDUSTRIES The industry sectors include, but are not limited to: - Public Sector * Defense and Domestic Security: Homeland Security, border control, registered traveler and other domestic security initiatives, as well as total asset visibility for armed services. * Justice and Public Safety: integrated justice, law enforcement, courts, and corrections. * Health and Human Services: Medicaid, human services and benefits for the most disadvantaged and vulnerable populations including children, the elderly and the poor. * Citizens Services: motor vehicles departments and electronic voting solutions. -
