-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP E-Democracy – Online Youth Participation and Engagement - International Journal of E-Politics (IJEP) Datum: Thu, 4 Jun 2009 21:08:18 +1000 Von: Mary-Anne Kennan <maryanne.kennan(a)unsw.edu.au> Antwort an: Mary-Anne Kennan <maryanne.kennan(a)unsw.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> International Journal of E-Politics (IJEP) http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?id=33407 An Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association- New in 2010 Editor-in-Chief: Celia Romm Livermore, Wayne State University, USA Published: Quarterly Call for Papers - Special Issue: Submission due date: August 15, 2009 Special issue on: E-Democracy – Online Youth Participation and Engagement The full call is at http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?ID=33407&v=callForPapersSpec… E-democracy, also referred to as digital or cyber-democracy, encompasses an expanding range of participatory acts: from the development of electronic voting to the transformation of citizen involvement in democratic and deliberative processes enabled and mediated by information and communication technologies (ICT) (Coleman, 2008; Gronlund, 2003). Unlike broadcast media that disseminates news and information to be consumed by citizens, e-democracy utilizes the Internet and social networking technologies to enable more interactive modes of engagement and multidimensional information flows. The use of ICT for participation and engagement has a particular appeal to young citizens. Disenchanted with traditional politics, well-versed in ICT and immersed in the Internet in their everyday lives, young people are at the forefront of online activism. Yet this activism seems to be disconnected from conventional modes of political engagement centered on governments. Youth civic disengagement is presented in this viewpoint as a challenge for the future of democracy. The special issue aims to engage in existing debates and also move significantly beyond them by: * Re-examining online youth participation in political and civic affairs from multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary perspectives * Promoting and contributing to cross-fertilization between theory and practice of e-democracy and youth participation. Recommended Topics We therefore invite authors with different disciplinary backgrounds and authors from both academia and practice to jointly contribute to this special issue and submit research papers that focus on: * Adoption of Web 2.0, social networking, and other technologies by young people and the opportunities and challenges for extending this adoption for their engagement in deliberative civic processes * Assessing communicative and political action via the Internet from democratic theory perspectives * Examples of youth online participation and innovative practices of youth engagement in political and civic matters by governments, political parties, non-government organizations or groups of young people * How and why does technology enable/support one way of engagement rather than another: searching beyond technological and social determinism? * How does technology ‘produce’ social interaction and young people as participants in online consultation and engagement processes or alternatively how the participants (perhaps at the same time?) socially construct technology to serve their interests? * Reviews and critique of existing theoretical approaches, assumptions, and conceptualizations of e-democracy, youth online participation, and engagement in social matters; agendas for future research. * Studies investigating social, political, cultural, technological, and other conditions stimulating or obstructing young people’s participation and engagement in online debates and actions * Studies of practices and patterns of youth online activism, political action, and organizing as new emerging forms of e-democracy * Technology as politics or “the question of technology” – what motivates and informs the development and adoption of the Internet, web-based and other social technologies for youth civic online participation and engagement? * What is social technology and why does it matter in imagining and practicing e-democracy by young people? * Young people s’ roles, behaviors, identities, interaction, and contribution in electronic spaces; exploration of creation of meanings, construction of individual and group identities and trust (communities?), (re)visions of citizenship and citizenship education, relationships with governments, etc. * Youth engagement in e-democracy and the possibility of realizing theoretic (normative) proposals for democratic governance (e.g. Habermas’ public sphere) Submission All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. A paper should be between 5,500 to 8000 words in length. All submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow APA style for reference citations.

Collective Knowledge is generated in a process that includes analysis and, in many cases, integration of multiple data sources. However, integration of massive or multiple data sources is just a prerequisite for creating Collective Knowledge. As named by Tom Gruber, this is Collected Knowledge (or Collected Intelligence). It becomes Collective Knowledge when new levels of understanding of such knowledge emerge, when "wisdom of the masses" creates new values. The focus of the workshop lies on how new knowledge can be discovered in such datasets, which processes are to be used to harvest the new knowledge, how and in which order the processes are to be applied, and finally, how the resulting Collective Knowledge can be represented. Not all models and representations for Collective Knowledge are created equal and what is easy and natural in one model can be even impossible in the other one. Within the scope of the CKCaR workshop we are specifically interested in the processes that lead to the capturing and creation of this new knowledge and models for representing it. We encourage the presentation and exploration of original work in capturing and representing collective knowledge and expect to stimulate further research in this area. More information at: http://www.uni-koblenz.de/confsec/CKCaR09/ Workshop Topics --------------- Topics of the workshop are within the area of knowledge capturing and representation on the massive scale. They include but are not limited to: * Methods for extracting Collective Knowledge from mass data input * Analysis and processing of mass data * Representation of Collective Knowledge (methods, models, techniques) * Modeling and Handling of inconsistencies or contradictions in Collective Knowledge * Applications that leverage of Collective Knowledge * Measuring of the quality of Collective Knowledge Paper Submissions ----------------- We invite submissions of full technical papers not exceeding 8 pages. Submissions in PDF format are via EasyChair system at: * http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ckcar09 Submissions will be reviewed by at least three reviewers from the PC members and external reviewers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] cfp Special Issue on Servitizing IT Due Sept 15, 2009 Datum: Thu, 4 Jun 2009 00:53:55 -0400 Von: Sue Conger <sconger(a)aol.com> Antwort an: Sue Conger <sconger(a)aol.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Information Systems Management Special Issue on Servitizing IT Guest Editor: Sue Conger University of Dallas You are cordially invited to submit a complete, original, unpublished manuscript for the Information Systems Management Special Issue on Servitizing IT. IT's role in an organization is the cost-effective provision of IT services that focus on delivery of high-quality, low-cost IT services, and, hopefully, align with organizational strategy. IT Services have emerged as a strategic focus for industry. Private industry is active in this space, with IBM, HP, and others selling both services and software to support IT services. Industry groups, such as ITSMF-USA, have active academic groups that have sponsored three academic fora at which academics learn about ITSM and how to develop course materials for teaching ITSM. There are three current types of research that fall under the definition of IT Services: IT Service Management (ITSM) � focusing on spanning the gap between operations and development; Services Computing � focusing on technical delivery of software services, and Service Sciences Management and Engineering (SSME) � focusing on organizational servitization. The following topics are suggested but other related topics will be considered: � Theoretical underpinnings of IT Servitization � Development and use of models for measuring IT Servitization � Maturity of IT Servitization in industry � The relationship between IT Servitization and ICT Governance � Frameworks and standards for IT Service Management (e.g., ITIL, ISO/IEC 20000) � Relationship and management of Services in the real (e.g., ITSM) and software worlds (e.g., SOA) � Critical success factors in IT Servitizing initiatives � Organization structure, roles and responsibilities for IT Servitization initiatives. � Intersections in IT Servitization (e.g., Governance with IT, Application Development with Operations, Operations with Marketing) � Education for IT Servitization Instructions for Authors The ideal length of the submissions is 7,500 words, but if justified, shorter and longer manuscripts will be considered.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Special Issue on Modeling and Simulation in Healthcare of the SIMULATION journal Datum: Fri, 29 May 2009 07:41:26 -0400 Von: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Joseph Barjis <jbarjis(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Journal SIMULATION - Special Issue on �Modeling and Simulation in Healthcare� (an ISI ranked journal) Website: http://www.ais-sigmas.org/sim.pdf Guest Editor: Dr. Joseph Barjis, Associate Professor, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands: J.Barjis(a)TUDelft.NL IMPORTANT DATES (extended) ============================================== Paper Submission: July 1, 2009 Authors Notification: August 1, 2009 Final Submission: September 1, 2009 Projected Publication: Nov 2009 SPECIAL ISSUE SCOPE ============================================== Modeling and simulation have benefited many of the traditional areas in learning about system behavior, providing training, becoming a standard practice for analyzing and developing complex systems/processes, and helping to mitigate design flaws. The healthcare domain, with all its potential, is making only first steps in this horizon. Applying modeling and simulation as two complementary methods in healthcare could facilitate a significant understanding of the healthcare operational aspects, medical practices, treatment delivery, and help to identify where potential human errors are most likely. Due to its importance, sensitivity, complexity, security, informality, and specific nature, healthcare requires unified modeling and simulation approach, which creates an enormous potential for challenging research and innovative applications. With global transition to electronic medical records (EMR), simulation could be used to study the IT impact on healthcare processes, redesigning current healthcare processes to implement innovations in the delivery of healthcare. One of the main challenges and quality factors in healthcare delivery is waiting time and traveling to medical centers. Medical resources (physicians, advanced diagnostic equipments, operation facilities) are constantly in high demand, which require innovative approaches to increase their availability. Current trends in designing new medical facilities require co-design of medical centers and healthcare processes - known as process-centric spatial design. Simulating healthcare practices where space and processes are jointly taken into account may significantly increase resource utilization and healthcare productivity. Streamlining procedures for traveling patients may result in high satisfaction as well as reducing number of visits. Furthermore, simulation is immerging as an asset in training, communication, and sharing among analysts, practitioners, and professionals in the healthcare domain. This special issue is aimed to solicit research results on the following topics of interest, but not limited: SUGGESTED TOPICS ============================================== - Potential of simulation in healthcare - Challenges of simulation in healthcare - Pitfalls with applying simulation in healthcare - Simulation methods and methodologies for healthcare - Modeling and simulation of patient examination processes - Modeling and simulation of hospitalization processes - Modeling and simulation of primary care (general practitioner/family doctor) offices - Modeling and simulation of inter-organizational processes in healthcare - Modeling and summation of EMR systems - Requirements modeling and simulation for designing EMR system - Modeling and summation of ICT impacts in healthcare - Modeling and Simulation of IT-healthcare alignment - Simulation of healthcare information systems - Simulation and gaming for training healthcare personnel - Process-centric spatial design and simulation of healthcare centers - Case studies in healthcare simulation - Survey of simulation tools/suites for healthcare SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ============================================== For manuscript formatting and other guidelines, please visit the SIMULATION Submission Guidelines webpage: http://www.scs.org/pubs/simulation/submissionGuidelines.html Manuscripts should be prepared and submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/simulation. Please note in your online cover letter that your manuscript is submitted for the special issue �Modeling and Simulation in Healthcare�.

Although managerial use of advanced collaborative technologies in healthcare has been reported in the literature, the use of the technology in research and clinical practice has not been studied extensively. Geographically dispersed health professionals can use collaboration technology to communicate with each other, review patient records, manage workflows, and improve the delivery of patient care. Similarly, geographically non-collocated researchers can collaborate with each other. Besides some descriptive studies, most of the current studies on collaboration technology in healthcare focus on the technological architecture of collaborative healthcare systems. This mini-track invites research papers on the use of collaboration technology in healthcare. Two major directions of research on the use of collaboration technology in healthcare are of interest to information systems (IS) and healthcare professionals. The study of the conceptual framework and technological architecture of collaborative systems in healthcare can focus on the functional and social needs of the healthcare teams, the supports for collaboration processes, the security of shared medical records, and the efficient communication and processing of information in the health network. Another strand of research can explore the effects of the use of collaboration technologies on the delivery of patient care. These can be empirical studies that can focus on the healthcare tasks-technology fit, the effectiveness of collaborative healthcare teams, and the organizational impacts of collaborative technologies. Suggested topics for the mini-track include, but are not limited to: � Conceptual framework of collaborative healthcare systems � Technical architecture of the collaborative systems for healthcare � Processes of collaboration in healthcare teams � Functionalities of technologies to support collaboration in healthcare teams � Task-technology fit of collaboration systems in healthcare systems � Appropriation of collaboration technologies in healthcare teams � Information and knowledge sharing in healthcare teams � Shared data and knowledge repositories in collaborative healthcare teams � Security of shared medical records � Intelligent systems and collaborative healthcare � Socio-technical issues in collaborative healthcare systems � Empirical studies to assess the effectiveness of the use of collaboration technologies in healthcare teams � Empirical studies on the organizational impact of collaborative healthcare systems Mini-Track Co-chairs: Souren Paul Department of Business College of Staten Island City University of New York 2800 Victory Boulevard Staten Island, NY 10314 Phone:(718) 982-2938 Fax: (718) 982-2965 Souren.paul(a)csi.cuny.edu Arkalgud Ramaprasad Department of Information and Decision Sciences College of Business Administration University of Illinois at Chicago 2209 University Hall 601 South Morgan Street, MC 294 Chicago, IL 60607-7124 Phone: (312) 996-9260 Fax: (312) 413-0385 prasad(a)uic.edu Submission Process: Full paper submissions must be made electronically through the HICSS on-line submission system, by 15th June 2009.

[Fwd: [isworld] CFP: Special Issue of Electronic Government: An International Journal]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: Special Issue of Electronic Government: An International Journal Datum: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 10:27:02 -0400 Von: Vikas Jain <vjain(a)ut.edu> Antwort an: Vikas Jain <vjain(a)ut.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers for Special Issue of Electronic Government: An International Journal on E-Government: Past, Present, and Future Guest Editors: Dr. Vikas Jain, University of Tampa, FL, USA Dr. Yogesh Dwivedi, University of Wales, Swansea, UK Dr. Shirish C. Srivastava, HEC School of Management, Paris, France Dr. Mohini Singh, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia The objective of this special issue of Electronic Government journal is to provide an outlet for publishing original research highlighting current issues related to technical, organizational, managerial and socio-economic aspects of e-Government adoption, evolution, implementation and impact. We seek to invite papers that address various aspects of e-Government projects from a theoretical, conceptual, or empirical perspective to set the stage for future research direction in e-Government. Both quantitative as well as qualitative studies on e-Government from developed and developing countries perspectives will be encouraged. E-Government is an emerging paradigm to deliver government services to citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders through the use of Internet and information and communication technologies (ICTs). E-Government is an extension of e-business applications to the public sector. Increased adoption and application of e-Government across countries is being propelled by its potential to offer not only a convenient service to citizens but also related benefits such as reduced transaction costs and enhanced operational efficiency. Further, e-Government can help to improve e-Governance. Consequently, e-Government is being increasingly regarded as a panacea for overcoming many of the shortcomings of the traditional government set-up. Over years, e-Government development has transitioned from cataloging, transaction processing to vertical and horizontal integration in both developed and developing nations. The evolution of e-Government from the informational interfaces of the yester years to the transformational applications of today has in large measures been influenced by many of the contingent environmental factors. The development of e-Government has not been uniform across the world. For example, there are only a few countries like Singapore, Canada and the U.S.A. which lead the e-Government initiatives across the world. Most nations are still struggling with their e-Government programs. Despite their tremendous transformational potential, the evidence about the success of e-Government efforts across various countries is mostly sporadic and diffused. Consequently, the full potential of e-Government remains largely unexploited. Almost a decade after the first e-Government implementations in the world were initiated, it is an opportune time to reflect on the past and present so that the future of e-Government can be charted out. There is a need to examine issues surrounding e-Government today and challenges for the future. The e-Government evolutionary models of the past may have become redundant in the face of rapidly changing technological options. Some of the suggested topics include, but are not limited to, following topics: � The development and implementation of e-Government. � Frameworks for successful e-Government implementation � Social and economic impacts of e-Government � Effect of socio-economic factors in e-Government implementation and adoption � Cross country comparisons of e-Government projects � E-Government projects in developing countries and developed countries � Enablers and inhibitors of e-Government success � Models of electronic service delivery � Frameworks for e-Government evaluation � E-Government and E-Governance � E-Government readiness of government and citizens across countries � Role of technological and regulatory environment in e-Government implementation � E-Citizen and e-democracy � Emerging e-Government issues � E-government using mobile technologies Schedule for submission of papers: Submission deadline: June 30, 2009 Notification of status & acceptance of paper: September 30, 2009 Final version of paper: November 30, 2009 Special Issue: February, 2010 Review Process: Each submitted paper is subject to the following review procedures: 1.It is reviewed by the guest editors for general suitability for this publication. 2.If it is judged suitable, two reviewers are selected and a double-blind review process takes place. 3.Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the guest editors then decide whether the particular article should be accepted as it is, revised or rejected.

[Fwd: [WI] CfP Mensch und Computer 2009 - Workshop "Enterprise 2.0 - Web 2.0 im Unternehmen"]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP Mensch und Computer 2009 - Workshop "Enterprise 2.0 - Web 2.0 im Unternehmen" Datum: Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:54:27 +0200 Von: Alexander Richter <alexander.richter(a)kooperationssysteme.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de =============================================== Workshop "Enterprise 2.0 - Web 2.0 im Unternehmen" im Rahmen der Konferenz Mensch und Computer 2009 am 6.9.2009 in Berlin =============================================== *Motivation und Ziele* Das Internet hat eine Evolution hinter sich. Die Nutzer haben sich von reinen Konsumenten zu Produzenten entwickelt, die Inhalte nicht mehr nur lesen, sondern diese selbst bereitstellen, editieren, bewerten und kommentieren. Das Stichwort lautet Partizipation bzw. Beteiligung der User (Zerfaß/Welker/Schmidt 2008). Diese freiwillige und aktive Mitwirkung eines großen Benutzerkreises ohne Zwänge von Organisationen, Prozessen, Technologien oder bestimmten Plattformen stellt das Hauptcharakteristikum des "Web 2.0" (O’Reilly, 2005) oder auch "Social Web" (Ebersbach/Glaser/Heigl 2008) dar. Die unkomplizierte Möglichkeit, etwas zum großen Ganzen beizutragen, kann viele Wissensmanagement-Ansätze bereichern. Auf Firmenebene hat man dies vielfach erkannt und stellt sich nun die Frage nach den Einsatzpotenzialen des "Web 2.0 in Unternehmen" (Back/Tochtermann/Gronau 2008) bzw. des „Enterprise 2.0“ (Koch/Richter 2008, McAfee 2006). Im Gegensatz zum privaten Internet, das eher durch informelle Strukturen gekennzeichnet ist (Jahnke 2009), müssen die Beteiligten in den Unternehmen allerdings verschiedene unternehmensspezifische Herausforderungen meistern, wie z.B. die Einbeziehung von Organisationsstrukturen und -Prozessen. Werden diese Spezifika bei der sozio-technischen Systemgestaltung der Werkzeuge berücksichtigt, bieten sie gegenüber anderen Diensten bessere Möglichkeiten, implizites Wissen („tacit knowledge“) und Best Practices unternehmensweit verfügbar zu machen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es unser Ziel, auf der Mensch und Computer 2009 in Berlin einen multidisziplinären Workshop zu veranstalten. Vertreter aus Soziologie und Psychologie, Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Informatik sind herzlich eingeladen das Thema aus ihrer jeweiligen Fachperspektive zu diskutieren und dabei kulturelle, organisationale sowie technologische Aspekte zu beleuchten. Der Workshop richtet sich an Teilnehmer aus der Wissenschaft sowie aus der Unternehmenspraxis. *Zentrale Fragestellungen des Workshops sind* Aus Sicht der Wirtschaftsinformatik: * Wie lässt sich Social Software in bestehende IT-Infrastrukturen integrieren? * Welches sind Erfolgsmodelle um das Spannungsfeld zwischen Selbstorganisation und Fremdorganisation zu überbrücken? * Was sind mögliche Gestaltungsparameter für den Einsatz von Social Software in Unternehmen? * Wie können Wissensaustauschprozesse und -netzwerke bewertet werden? Aus Sicht der Psychologie und der Soziologie: * Welche Motivation haben Mitarbeiter eines Unternehmens Social Software zu nutzen und welche Barrieren aus individueller Sicht sind beim Einsatz von Social Software in Unternehmen zu überwinden? * Was können wir aus empirischen Untersuchungen zur Nutzung von Social Software im Internet lernen? * Wie können Communities of Practice und deren Bildung durch Social Software unterstützt werden? * Welche Auswirkung hat die Einbeziehung von Personen, die sich außerhalb der Communities of Practice befinden (weak ties) auf die Arbeitsprozesse? * Wie lassen sich kreativitätsförderliche (Lern-)Kulturen und "Flow-Erlebnisse" (Spaß machende Erlebnisse beim Wissensaustausch) integrieren und somit evt. neue Erkenntnisse zu Web 2.0 in Unternehmen erhalten? *Themen des Workshops* Dieser Workshop soll als ganztägige Veranstaltung eine Diskussion aus einer wissenschaftlichen sowie einer praxisnahen Perspektive beleuchten. Speziell von Interesse sind Beiträge zu den folgenden Themen: * Methoden, Modelle und Technologien für Wissens- und Innovationsmanagement mit Social Software * Prozeduren und Praktiken für effektives Wissensmanagement mit Social Software * Web-2.0-Anwendungen und ihr Nutzen für die individuelle und kollaborative Wissensarbeit * Kulturelle, soziale und technische Aspekte des Web 2.0 * Kosten/Nutzenanalysen zum Einsatz von Social Software in Unternehmen * Empirische Studien mit explorativem, deskriptivem oder erklärendem Charakter Neben kurzen Präsentationen von Ergebnissen/Erkenntnissen zu obigen Themen durch die aktiven Teilnehmer wollen wir auf dem Workshop hauptsächlich interaktiv am Zusammenbringen der isolierten Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen aus den unterschiedlichen Disziplinen arbeiten. Wir laden Sie herzlich dazu ein mit einer Einreichung für den Workshop an diesem Austausch teilzunehmen. Bitte beachten Sie dabei folgende Hinweise *Termine* *12.06.2009: Einreichung von Workshop-Beiträgen* 01.07.2009: Benachrichtigung der Autoren über Annahme/Ablehnung 10.07.2009: Abgabe der Endfassung durch die Autoren & Registrierung von mind. einem Autor pro Beitrag 6.9.2009: Workshop *Einreichungen* bitte per Mail an alexander.richter(a)kooperationssysteme.de <mailto:alexander.richter@kooperationssysteme.de>. Einreichungen sollen einen Umfang von 4 bis maximal 5 Seiten (inkl. Literatur, nach nachfolgend angegebener Formatvorlage) aufweisen und konkrete Erfahrungen, Ergebnisse zu einem der oben angegebenen Themen besprechen (und damit einen Beitrag für die Diskussion im Workshop liefern). *Workshop-Band / Format* Die für den Workshop akzeptierten Beiträge werden in einem gemeinsamen Workshop-Band der Tagung Mensch & Computer veröffentlicht und sollen im Logos-Verlag Berlin erscheinen (http://www.logos-verlag.de). Um ein einheitliches Erscheinungsbild innerhalb des Bandes zu gewährleisten (und zugleich den Transfer von bei der Haupttagung abgelehnten Beiträgen zu einem thematisch passenden Workshop zu erleichtern) ist das LNI-Format für die Workshop-Beiträge vorgesehen (http://www.gi-ev.de/service/publikationen/lni/). *Registrierung* Die Teilnehmer an Workshops sowie jeweils mindestens ein Autor der im Workshop-Band zu veröffentlichenden Beiträge müssen sich für die Haupttagung registrieren. *Workshop Organisation* * Prof. Dr. Michael Koch, Universität der Bundeswehr München * Prof. Dr. Isa Jahnke, Universität Dortmund * Dr. Angelika Bullinger, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg * Dipl.-Kfm.
