-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] TOC: Latest issue of the International Journal of Open Source Software & Processes Datum: Tue, 2 Jun 2009 08:09:25 +0200 (CEST) Von: Stefan Koch <stefan.koch(a)wu.ac.at> Antwort an: Stefan Koch <stefan.koch(a)wu.ac.at> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Open Source Software & Processes (IJOSSP) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 1, Issue 2, April-June 2009 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1942-3926 EISSN: 1942-3934 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijossp Editor-in-Chief: Stefan Koch, Bogazici University, Turkey GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE Recent Advances in the Economics of Open Source Software Eric Darmon, Université de Rennes 1 and CREM-CNRS, France Dominique Torre, GREDEG-CNRS and University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis, France In recent years, the development of free/libre open source software (FLOSS) has attracted the attention of academics, practitioners, and policy-makers. In a first step, these OS initiatives have been primarily launched by communities of motivated user-developers. For FLOSS to sustain, a second step is to diffuse to new populations of users (individuals, businesses, government agencies). However, some motivations of these populations to adopt FLOSS may however differ from those of initial user-developers. The objective of this project is to study the consequences of the transition towards this second step. The articles selected for this special issue reflect the diversity of these topics. The articles relate OS production and diffusion and discuss the competition between OS and proprietary software. To the read the guest editorial preface, please consult this issue of IJOSSP in your library. PAPER ONE What Makes Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) Projects Successful? An Agent-Based Model of FLOSS Projects Nicholas P. Radtke, Arizona State University, USA Marco A. Janssen, Arizona State University, USA James S. Collofello, Arizona State University, USA Within thehe last few years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of free/libre open source software (FLOSS) projects. Some of these projects, such as Linux and the Apache Web server, have become phenomenally successful; however, for every successful FLOSS project there are dozens of FLOSS projects that never succeed. These projects fail to attract developers and/or consumers and never get off the ground. The aim of this research is to better understand why some FLOSS projects flourish while others wither and die. This article presents a simple agent-based model that is calibrated on key patterns of data from SourceForge, the largest online site hosting open source projects. The calibrated model provides insight into the conditions necessary for FLOSS success and the use of scenario analysis in future developments of FLOSS.

Versailles, EconomiX, University Paris 10 Nanterre, France The development of open source software is currently arousing an increased interest in the IT world. This research inquires some specific paths enlarging the traditional view over open source software in inquiring the US Department of Defense (DoD) and the dynamics associated its front- and back-office activities. In this article, the authors explain how distinguishing basic administration from operational constraints and weapon R&D dynamics introduces specific governance concerns among public and private stakeholders. By no longer defining open source solutions as mere goods, but as services characterized by a flow of knowledge, the authors highlight new emerging strategies of technological acquisition. The authors analysis leads to revising traditional roles of focusing mainly on cost issues and introducing open source software with distinctive properties serving management innovation and technological agility at the level of complex systems.

There is also accumulating evidence that an open approach to knowledge production can deliver substantial efficiency advantages. This article introduces a formal framework incorporating all of these factors. The author examines the relative performance of an open versus a closed (proprietary) regime and explicitly characterizes the circumstances in which an open approach results in a higher level of innovation.

The author discusses whether the proprietary model, where entrepreneurs sell software to the users, or the open source model, where users participate in software development, is more efficient from a welfare point of view. This article measures the vulnerability of entry by entrepreneurs in OS industries and proprietary industries.

Eric Darmon, Université de Rennes 1 and CREM-CNRS, France Dominique Torre, GREDEG-CNRS and University of Nice - Sophia Antipolis, France In this article, the authors consider the dynamics and competition between two software platforms. Potential user-developers can adopt one of the two platforms in order to develop and sell new applications based on the platform. The authors consider the static issue first and then use a simple dynamic system where the dynamics comes from the development efforts (spillovers) made on each platforms. In this context, they first identify the conditions for the two platforms to coexist in the long run and consider different strategies for the editor from this baseline. In both cases, the authors analyze whether a mixed industry may be sustainable in the long run.

If you are interested, please send a proposal to the editor. JOEUC Mission: The primary purpose of the Journal of Organizational and End User Computing (JOEUC) is to provide a forum to information technology educators, researchers, and practitioners to advance the practice and understanding of organizational and end user computing. Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts for possible publication in JOEUC. The journal publishes empirical and theoretical research concerned with all aspects of organizational and end user computing. The journal is especially interested in those research studies that show a significant contribution to the area by relating organizational and end user computing to organizational and end user performance and productivity, strategic and competitive advantage, and electronic commerce. It publishes full-length research manuscripts, insightful research and practice notes, and case studies from all areas of organizational and end user computing. JOEUC Coverage: Topics should be drawn from, but not limited to, the following areas, with major emphasis on how to increase organizational and end user productivity and performance, and how to achieve organizational strategic and competitive advantage: Organizational and end user computing (OEUC) productivity and performance; OEUC and how it affects organizational strategic and competitive advantage; OEUC and how it relates to information resources management; using and managing emerging OEUC technologies including electronic commerce; OEUC satisfaction; OEUC in various management functions; OEUC usage; OEUC privacy, security, and copyright issues; OEUC success factors; OEUC controls for security and privacy; OEUC risk factors; OEUC management; OEUC hardware and software; OEUC supports and training. In general, the journal seeks contributions concerning any aspect of organizational and end user information processing including development, usage, satisfaction, performance, productivity, success, failure, policies, strategies, and management. The journal invites contributions from educators, researchers, and practitioners involved in research, management, and utilization of organizational and end user computing. JOEUC Submissions: All manuscripts submitted to JOEUC will undergo a two-way blind review. Authors are asked to submit electronically as an email attachment or mail four copies of their original, previously unpublished manuscript that satisfies the following conditions: Ø Must not be currently under review by another journal. Ø Must be written in APA (American Psychological Association) editorial style. Ø Should not exceed 25 double-spaced typed pages. Ø Must be accompanied by a cover page with author(s)' name, address, telephone number, and affiliation. Ø Should be accompanied by a 150-200 word vita of author(s) on a separate sheet. Ø Must be accompanied by a 150-200 word abstract on a separate sheet with appropriate key words for the papers. JOEUC also invites significant and insightful research and practice notes, case studies, editorials, and book reviews from all areas of organizational and end user computing. Submitted pieces for this section should not exceed 15 double-spaced pages. JOEUC Review process: To ensure high quality of the published materials, JOEUC utilizes a group of experts to review submitted manuscripts. Upon receipt of a manuscript, two reviewers are selected from the Editorial Review Board of the journal to review the manuscript. The selection is based on the area of expertise of the reviewers, matched to the subject matter of the submission. An additional ad-hoc reviewer (usually an author who has previously published in JOEUC and who has expertise in the area) is also selected to review the manuscript. Each submission is, therefore, blind reviewed by at least three reviewers. If at least two reviewers make favorable recommendations on a manuscript, the author(s) are given an opportunity to revise the manuscript. The revised manuscript is blind reviewed by an associate editor (AE) and finally reviewed by the editor. Return of a manuscript to the author(s) for revision(s) does not guarantee an acceptance of the manuscript for publication but it is a step in the right direction. The final decision on a manuscript is made based on comments of the reviewers and AE, and the quality of the revised manuscript. ALL SUBMISSIONS AND QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO: M.

Computer-based developments over the last four decades have facilitated managers with numerous collaborative tools to support various levels of enquiries within the environment of an organization. Recently, technological advances have resulted in the concept of Grid technology, a term originally coined by Foster in 1995. With regard to decision-making, Grid technology aims to facilitate managers with the ability to analyze and utilize data and instrumentation drawn from multiple pools encompassing registered distributed and heterogeneous (re)sources in a far more collaborative manner. The Overall Objective of the Book The primary goal of the book is to demonstrate how Grid technology has and could be applied to serve as the vehicle to empower intelligence in decision- making within one or many interconnected, separable or inseparable businesses or other type of organizations in a far more effective and efficient collaborative setting. The book prompts further development for best practices in identifying opportunities and provides future direction for innovative and applicable decision making strategies by using Grid technology. It aims to provide a practical guidance to IT and senior managers of relevant organizations in developing effective and efficient approaches, mechanisms, and systems with using Grid technology to support their effective operation and competitive advantage. In particular, the book aims to build a network of excellence in effectively and efficiently managing ICT related resource using Grid technology for senior management to identify applicable opportunities within their organizations and ultimately lead them to sustain or even create a competitive advantage. The overall mission of the book is to introduce both technical and non-technical details of Grid technology demonstrating its feasible and applicable arrangement within business and other organizational IT infrastructures. The Target Audience The projected audience is broad, ranging from those currently working in to those interested in joining interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaborative decision-making.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Papers for the IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) Datum: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 09:49:03 -0400 Von: Althea Liang <althealiang(a)smu.edu.sg> Antwort an: Althea Liang <althealiang(a)smu.edu.sg> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Subject: Call for Papers for the IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) Due to numerous requests, the deadline of full paper submission has been extended to June 11, 2009. If you have already submitted your paper, you can still polish and re-upload your new version by the extended deadline. Thanks. IEEE 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) September 21-25, 2009, Bangalore, India http://www.thecloudcomputing.org/2009/2 or http://conferences.computer.org/cloud Sponsored by the Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC), IEEE Computer Society 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing is the identified hot-topic conference of the IEEE 2009 World Congress on Services (SERVICES 2009). CLOUD-II 2009 will be co-located with the 6th IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2009). The theme of the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD-II 2009) is �Change We Can Lead�. Cloud Computing has become a scalable services delivery platform in the field of Services Computing. The technical foundations of Cloud Computing include Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Virtualizations of hardware and software. The goal of Cloud Computing is to share resources among the cloud service consumers, cloud partners, and cloud vendors in the cloud value chain. The resource sharing at various levels results in various cloud offerings such as infrastructure cloud (e.g. hardware, IT infrastructure management), software cloud (e.g. SaaS focusing on middleware as a service, or traditional CRM as a service), application cloud (e.g. Application as a Service, UML modeling tools as a service, social network as a service), and business cloud (e.g. business process as a service). In the fast growing Services Computing community, we have launched a series of events to promote and grow Cloud Computing in the past years. In 2002, we promoted Business Grid to share business processes and applications. In early 2008, The IEEE Transactions on Services Computing (TSC) has adopted Cloud Computing to be included in the taxonomy as a body of knowledge area of Services Computing. In July 2008, the IEEE International Conference on Services Computing (SCC 2008) has delivered a keynote panel �Business Cloud: Bridging The Power of SOA and Cloud Computing� and a keynote �Cloud Computing�. In September 2008, the 2008 IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2008) has delivered a keynote �Web Services: Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Communication, and Beyond� and a panel "Cloud Computing and IT as a Service: Opportunities and Challenges" to further motivate the community members to define Cloud Computing in various areas. Based on the technology foundations and industry driving forces, the 2009 International Conference on Cloud Computing (CLOUD 2009) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers and industry practitioners to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud Computing, identify emerging research topics, and define the future of Cloud Computing. CLOUD 2009 is jointly sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Services Computing (TC-SVC) and Services Society. To discuss this emerging enabling technology of the modern services industry, CLOUD-II 2009 invites you to join the seventh year�s gathering that explores "Services" Science and Technology in the field of Services Computing, which was formally promoted by IEEE Computer Society since 2003. From technology foundation perspective, Services Computing has become the default discipline in the modern services industry. CLOUD-II 2009 tries to attract researchers, practitioners, and industry business leaders in all the following areas to help define and shape cloud computing, and its related modernization strategy and directions of the services industry. You are invited to submit research, engineering, and business innovation papers to the following areas: * Infrastructure Cloud * Software Cloud * Application Cloud * Business Cloud * Service-Oriented Architecture in Cloud Computing * Vituralization of Hardware Resources * Virtualization of Software Resources * Cloud Computing Consulting Methods * Design Tool for Cloud Computing * Maintenance and Management of Cloud Computing * Cloud Computing Architecture * Cloud Applications in Vertical Industries In addition, CLOUD-II 2009 organizes cloud computing related keynote sessions, panel discussions, paper presentations, paper posters, innovation show cases, Services University (Fall School), workshops, and tutorials. CLOUD-II 2009 also invites you to submit papers to participate the following key events: +Tutorial Proposal Submission for CLOUD-II 2009 and SERVICES 2009 (Part II) Final Proposal Submission Deadline: June 1, 2009 Maximum Length: 2 pages - abstract and speaker short bio(s) in one PDF file. +Panel, Innovation Show Case, Job Fair Booth Reservation or Event Proposal CLOUD-II 2009 Innovation Show Case complement the technical program and feature industry leaders.

Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word format) is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper preparation and submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, and review process can be found from this web site. Paper Review Policy CLOUD-II 2009's Policy and professional ethics require that referees treat the contents of papers under review as privileged information not to be disclosed to others before publication. It is expected that no one with access to a paper under review will make any inappropriate use of the special knowledge, which that access providers. Contents of abstracts submitted to conference program committees should be regarded as privileged as well, and handled in the same manner. The Conference Publications Chair shall ensure that referees adhere to this practice.
