[Fwd: [isworld] Special Issue on Trust and Trust Management]
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Special Issue on Trust and Trust Management Datum: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:44:10 -0400 Von: Narciso Cerpa <ncerpa(a)utalca.cl> Antwort an: Narciso Cerpa <ncerpa(a)utalca.cl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers Special Issue on Trust and Trust Management http://www.jtaer.com/documentos/Call_For_Papers_Trust_Final_2_.pdf Guest Editors: Audun Jøsang (University of Oslo) Glenn Bewsell (University of Wollongong) Trust is a fundamental consideration for the growth and stability of markets and communities because trust guides decisions about interactions between humans and organizations. New forms of markets and communities are created online, but the very nature of this online environment makes trust management challenging. It is for example common to request services from a website we have never heard of before, and from which we might never request a service again in the future. Combined with perceptions of minimal or non-existent law enforcement, participants in online markets and communities are often vulnerable to many forms of fraud and deception. Reliable perceptions of trust lead to successful in tera ctions and quality online markets, whereas misplaced trust and misplaced distrust are damaging to online interactions and e-commerce. To improve the reliability of trust perceptions and decision making, there is a need to better understand the dynamics of trust in relation to the technological, behavioral, legal and cultural aspects of e-commerce. This special issue welcomes articles with research contributions related to online trust in e-commerce, and to trust management in general. This is a broad field that e.g. covers: theoretical and practical aspects of trust management; antecedents to trust; technologies that impact trust; and the use of policy, process and technology to manage trust. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Semantics, interpretations and ontologies of trust * Metrics for trust and reputation * Trust and reputation systems; protocols and computational models * Robustness of tr ust and reputation systems * Impacts of technology on trust * Costs and trade-offs for establishing and sustaining trust * Identity, credentials and access management * Authorization models and policies * Security and trust * Risk management and trust * Decision making and trust * Case studies for online trust * Recommender systems and trust * Community perspectives of online trust * eGovernment and trust * Novel perspectives on trust in e-commerce * Business models and trust * Trust based marketing * Trust destruction, distrust and trust restoration Submission: Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in the aforementioned areas. Manuscripts should conform to the journal format (see http://www.jtaer.com/). All submissions will be reviewed according to the journal peer-review policy. Accepted articles will be published in the special issue on Trust and Trust Management of the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (to appear in August 2010). Please suggest title and abstract and submit a full manuscript with respect to the deadlines given below to: josang(a)unik.no and/or gbewsell(a)uow.edu.au.

Joyner <eddjoyner(a)charter.net> Antwort an: Dr. Edd R. Joyner <eddjoyner(a)charter.net> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS, REVIEWERS, and MODERATORS JOINT CONFERENCE: ACADEMIC BUSINESS WORLD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE, and INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LEARNING AND ADMINISTRATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION May 25th, 26th, and 27th 2009--submit by May 11, 2009 <--Extended deadline) Nashville, TN at the legendary Opryland Hotel (Register for one, attend the other for free) ACADEMIC BUSINESS WORLD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ------------------------------------------------ http://ABWIC.org <--Full Conference Information Papers in all traditional areas of business as well as any of the reference disciplines are solicited, with particular emphasis on papers in early development stages and papers involved with non-traditional paradigms. Submit papers to any of the following tracks: Accounting Track Economics Track Finance Track Information Systems Track Management (General) Track Management (POM) Track Management (HRM) Track Marketing Track General Business Track INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LEARNING AND ADMINISTRATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION --------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://ICLAHE.org <--Full Conference Information We encourage the submission of manuscripts, and abstracts to any of the following tracks: Learning We encourage the submission of manuscripts pertaining to pedagogical topics. We believe that much of the learning process is not discipline specific and that we can all benefit from looking at research and practices outside our own discipline. The ideal submission would take a general focus on learning rather than a discipline-specific perspective. For example, instead of focusing on "Motivating Students in Group Projects in Marketing Management", you might broaden the perspective to "Motivating Students in Group Projects in Upper Division Courses" or simply "Motivating Students in Group Projects" The objective here is to share your work with the larger audience. Academic Administration We encourage the submission of manuscripts pertaining to the administration of academic units in colleges and universities. We believe that many of the challenges facing academic departments are not discipline specific and that learning how different departments address these challenges will be beneficial. The ideal paper would provide information that many administrators would find useful, regardless of their own disciplines.

[Fwd: [isworld] Reminder: Call for Chapters - Teaching through Multi-User Virtual Environments]
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Reminder: Call for Chapters - Teaching through Multi-User Virtual Environments Datum: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 10:50:16 +0200 Von: Giovanni Vincenti <teaching.through.muves(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Giovanni Vincenti <teaching.through.muves(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Chapters Proposals Submission: April 15, 2009 Full Chapters Submission: June 30, 2009 Teaching through Multi-User Virtual Environments: Applying Dynamic Elements to the Modern Classroom A book edited by: Giovanni Vincenti, Gruppo Vincenti, S.r.l., Rome, Italy James Braman, Towson University, Towson, MD, USA To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=609 Introduction In today’s world of education information is delivered through several strategies. There is the classic “lecture” approach, which has been the foundation for many schools and institutions. Then there is “debate” as a form of learning, inherited from the great Greek and Latin philosophers. In the last few years educators have also become familiar with the concept of online education through the use of tools such as “Blackboard”, “WebCT” and other online course delivery systems. An increasing number of institutions are utilizing online education as a means of instruction. At the very least online media functions as a support mechanism to be used in a parallel manner to the material discussed in class. Given the type of interaction with the students, this type of medium can be defined as an online static learning environment. The identification of “static” comes from the idea of the low interaction between the instructor and the students, or among the students themselves. Some tools offer chat rooms, which is a small step toward direct interaction. Virtual environments, such as Twinity, Second Life, WOW and Active Worlds, to name a few, have prompted the interest of many in the education arena. The idea of finding new and improved ways to deliver information to students is constantly on the minds of teachers. Educators are interested in teaching students with more interaction, more realism, and perhaps even immersive technologies that make the students realize how life looked and felt at the times of Imperial Rome. Virtual environments offer just that, and they add an incredible dynamic element to teaching online. Objective and Target Audience This book has several aims, listed here: * Affirming Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) as teaching tools * Distinguishing static and dynamic virtual environments * Advertising research being done on MUVEs as teaching tools * Advertising teaching practices revolving around MUVEs * Reporting teachers’ and students’ experiences with MUVEs utilized in the classroom * Discussing novel and experimental approaches to using virtual spaces * Discussing the benefits of 3D immersive learning This book would be of interest to all educators and practitioners (of any subject, at any level of primary, secondary and higher education) who wish to incorporate a dynamic online element to their classroom, and also to researchers of education, computer science, and instructional technologies. This book will be a one-stop resource for practices as well as research activities within the domain on Multi-User Virtual Environments. Topics Topics for discussion in this book include, but are not limited to the following five areas: * Static vs. dynamic online learning environments * Applying Multi-User Virtual Environments to education * Designing classroom activities for MUVEs * Classroom experiences * Education-oriented research activities conducted in MUVEs Each chapter will be of 8,000 to 10,000 words in length written by experts and leading innovators of their respective fields. Submission Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before April 15, 2009, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by April 30, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by June 30, 2009. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. Further information on this book can be found at http://www.teachingthroughmuves.info/. Publisher This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the “Information Science Reference” (formerly Idea Group Reference), “Medical Information Science Reference” and “IGI Publishing” imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com. This publication is anticipated to be released in the second half of 2010.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP IEEE-WIC-ACM associated W2T workshop Datum: Fri, 10 Apr 2009 11:21:45 +0200 (CEST) Von: Khalil Drira <khalil(a)laas.fr> Antwort an: Khalil Drira <khalil(a)laas.fr> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL FOR PAPERS The 2009 Web2Touch Workshop - Living Experience Through the Web http://www.cti.gov.br/web2touch2009/ In conjunction with The 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence Milan, Italy September 15 - 18, 2009 http://www.wi-iat09.disco.unimib.it/ This workshop intends to explore a multidisciplinary view of the web, demonstrating the full potential of the web as a live medium for sharing and collaboration. Joining their complimentary views, researchers can exchange their savoir-faire on architectures that are applied to similar problems. The web has evolved toward the semantic web, web services, social web and probably should appear in a web of things. Consequently the recently emerging web activities are characterized by collaboration, the sharing and creation of knowledge, woven into social and business networks. The techniques of representation, management, sharing, and knowledge discovery begin to face technical interoperability, semantics and organizational challenges. This workshop aims to introduce state-of-the-art semantic technologies, web services and knowledge engineering in order to discover solutions for collaborative work in Science, Health, and Web Science. This workshop will be held in conjunction with the 2009 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2009). We welcome contributions from academic researchers and industries. Workshop Topics include but are not limited to: -Case studies of the social semantic web and knowledge integration -Ontology and knowledge integration -Ontology development in social networks -Semantic web services -Distributed social linked data -Collaborative tagging and filtering -Experiences in web support for collaborative work -Flexible and adaptive web services -User experience and Internet of things -Affective computing and ergonomics in web usage Important Dates: Submission deadline: April 30th, 2009 Notification of acceptance: June 8th, 2009 Camera ready papers: June 30th, 2009 Workshop: September 15, 2009 Paper Submission: Authors are invited to submit original papers of up 4 pages, following the two-column IEEE-CS format. http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/menuitem.02df7cde46985ea21618fc2e… Submitted papers will be ranked based on their relevance and technical merit, and authors will be provided with at least three reviewers.

[Fwd: Special Issue on Trust and Trust Management]
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Apr '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Special Issue on Trust and Trust Management Datum: Wed, 8 Apr 2009 15:59:05 -0400 (CLT) Von: eCommerce List <eCommerce_List(a)noresponse.cl> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at, neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Call for Papers Special Issue on Trust and Trust Management <http://www.jtaer.com/documentos/Call_For_Papers_Trust_Final_2_.pdf> Guest Editors: Audun Jøsang (University of Oslo) Glenn Bewsell (University of Wollongong) Trust is a fundamental consideration for the growth and stability of markets and communities because trust guides decisions about interactions between humans and organizations. New forms of markets and communities are created online, but the very nature of this online environment makes trust management challenging. It is for example common to request services from a website we have never heard of before, and from which we might never request a service again in the future. Combined with perceptions of minimal or non-existent law enforcement, participants in online markets and communities are often vulnerable to many forms of fraud and deception. Reliable perceptions of trust lead to successful in tera ctions and quality online markets, whereas misplaced trust and misplaced distrust are damaging to online interactions and e-commerce. To improve the reliability of trust perceptions and decision making, there is a need to better understand the dynamics of trust in relation to the technological, behavioral, legal and cultural aspects of e-commerce. This special issue welcomes articles with research contributions related to online trust in e-commerce, and to trust management in general. This is a broad field that e.g. covers: theoretical and practical aspects of trust management; antecedents to trust; technologies that impact trust; and the use of policy, process and technology to manage trust. Specific topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Semantics, interpretations and ontologies of trust * Metrics for trust and reputation * Trust and reputation systems; protocols and computational models * Robustness of tr ust and reputation systems * Impacts of technology on trust * Costs and trade-offs for establishing and sustaining trust * Identity, credentials and access management * Authorization models and policies * Security and trust * Risk management and trust * Decision making and trust * Case studies for online trust * Recommender systems and trust * Community perspectives of online trust * eGovernment and trust * Novel perspectives on trust in e-commerce * Business models and trust * Trust based marketing * Trust destruction, distrust and trust restoration Submission: Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in the aforementioned areas. Manuscripts should conform to the journal format (see http://www.jtaer.com/). All submissions will be reviewed according to the journal peer-review policy. Accepted articles will be published in the special issue on Trust and Trust Management of the Journal of Theor etical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (to appear in August 2010). Please suggest title and abstract and submit a full manuscript with respect to the deadlines given below to: josang(a)unik.no and/or gbewsell(a)uow.edu.au. Important Dates: Abstract submission: Jan 15, 2010 Full manuscript submission: February 15, 2010 Author notification: April 15, 2010 Camera ready version: May 31, 2010 Publication: August 15, 2010
