-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Volume 1 Issue 3 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction Published Datum: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:26:06 -0400 Von: Dennis Galletta <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu> Antwort an: Dennis Galletta <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Announcing the Publication of Volume 1 Issue 3 of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (http://thci.aisnet.org) As co-Editors-in-Chief of the new journal, AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI), we are proud to announce the publication of its third issue. THCI is located within the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library (http://aisel.aisnet.org). To increase awareness and readership, THCI is freely accessible to everyone during its first two years of publication. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website, including how to submit. ================== In this issue ================== �The Intellectual Advancement of Human-Computer Interaction Research: A Critical Assessment of the MIS Literature (1990-2008)� By Ping Zhang, Na Li, Michael Scialdone, and Jane Carey This paper assesses the intellectual advancement of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) scholarship as one of the five research streams of the Management Information Systems (MIS) discipline. It particularly demonstrates the vitality and maturity that the HCI stream (or sub-discipline) has achieved in recent years, and adds to the few studies that draw an overarching picture of HCI. This study uses the same approach as that of Zhang and Li (2005), and delineates the intellectual development of HCI research in MIS by employing a multifaceted assessment of the published HCI articles over a period of 19 years (1990-2008) in eight primary MIS journals. In addition, this study includes several journal special issues and two book collections in the assessment. Twenty-four specific questions are addressed to answer the following five mega-research questions about the HCI sub-discipline: (1) What constitutes HCI�s intellectual substance? (2) What relationships does HCI have with other disciplines? (3) How is HCI evolving? (4) What are the patterns of HCI publication in the primary MIS journals? And, (5) Who are the contributing scholars? A number of areas for future research are predicted, along with a discussion of potential future directions for the sub-discipline. This study is of interest to researchers in the HCI sub-discipline, the MIS discipline, and other related disciplines to inform future research, collaboration, publication, and education. It should also be of interest to doctoral students for identifying potential topics for dissertation research and to identify academic institutions for future employment where such research is understood, appreciated, and encouraged. ================== Call for Papers ================== THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] 2nd CfP EMISA - SPECIAL ISSUE ON "Methodologies for Enterprise and Organizational Engineering" Datum: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:09:59 +0200 Von: Albani Antonia <antonia.albani(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> Antwort an: Albani Antonia <antonia.albani(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures - An International Journal SPECIAL ISSUE ON 'Methodologies for Enterprise and Organizational Engineering' IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: October 15, 2009 Authors Notification: November 15, 2009 Final Submission: December 15, 2009 Projected Publication: February 2010 GUEST EDITORS - Antonia Albani, University of Augsburg (Germany), antonia.albani(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de - Joseph Barjis, Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands), J.Barjis(a)TUDelft.NL - Robert Winter, University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) robert.winter(a)unisg.ch ------------------------------------------------------------------ SPECIAL ISSUE SCOPE Due to the dynamic economy of the changing global market, enterprises and their organizations need to be more agile, adaptive, transparent, and capable of change and adaptation. In order to support business innovation, enterprises and their organizations need to be systematically analyzed, designed and engineered. The often-used black- box knowledge (focus on behavior and function) of enterprises and their organizations might be sufficient and adequate for running the business, but, to innovate and transform the business, a white-box approach (focus on construction) is required. The studying of enterprises and their organizations as artifacts requires methods to analyze, design and engineer such artifacts. A lot of work has already been done in the area of enterprise models, i.e., defining notations for describing the different aspects of organizations and the application of these notations. In this special issue we set the focus on methods defining how to analyze, design and engineer enterprise / organizational artifacts. The construction of enterprises and their organizations has been designated as business engineering, enterprise engineering and organizational engineering, just to mention a few designations. In this context, engineering refers to a rather inclusive study comprising analysis, design and engineering. Regardless of the specific approach, enterprise and organizational engineering is complex activities consolidating different views, encompassing processes and sub-processes scattered within and beyond the enterprise boundaries, and representing the envisioned artifacts with different levels of abstraction. This complexity requires innovative and integrative techniques such as collaborative, participative and interactive modeling. SUGGESTED TOPICS The following topics are suggested in the scope of this special issue as discussed above: - Analysis, design and engineering methods for enterprises and their organizations - Guidelines for organizational analysis, design and engineering methods - Frameworks for organizational analysis, design and engineering methods - Theoretical foundations for organizational analysis, design and engineering methods - Evaluation of organizational analysis, design and engineering methods - Correlation between analysis, design and engineering methods and the resulting result representation models - Collaborative, participative and interactive aspects of organizational analysis, design and engineering - Collaborative, participative and interactive modeling (CPI Modeling) - Organizational analysis, design and engineering case studies - Organizational analysis, design and engineering principles - Interplay between organizational analysis/design/engineering and enterprise models/modeling SUBMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS For manuscript submission, formatting and other guidelines, visit the journal website: http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MobisPortal/index.php?lang=en&group… On this website: - Click the 'Submissions' tab on the left frame to open the submission page - On the submission page, first read 'Guide for Authors' - an illustrative PDF document - Then, follow the link 'Open Journal System' from the submission web page - Submission should additionally also be emailed to Antonia Albani (antonia.albani(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de) to double ensure the proper handling of the contributions.

[Fwd: [isworld] CfP: IUI 2010 Workshop on Semantic Models for Adaptive Interactive Systems]
by Gustaf Neumann 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP: IUI 2010 Workshop on Semantic Models for Adaptive Interactive Systems Datum: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 04:48:23 -0400 Von: Stephan Lukosch <s.g.lukosch(a)tudelft.nl> Antwort an: Stephan Lukosch <s.g.lukosch(a)tudelft.nl> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ======================================================================== IUI 2010 Workshop on Semantic Models for Adaptive Interactive Systems (SEMAIS) February 7, 2010 Hong Kong, China Submission deadline: November 15, 2009 http://www.semais.org ======================================================================== Motivation and goals ==================== Semantic technologies and, in particular, ontologies as formal, shareable representations of a domain of interest play an increasingly important role also for the design and development of user interfaces and more generally interactive systems. Semantic models can serve a number of different purposes in this context. They can be used as application or interface models in model-driven design and generation of user interfaces. Semantic Models can also be applied for representing the various kinds of context information for context-aware and adaptive systems. In particular, they have promise to provide a technique for representing external physical context factors such as location, time or technical parameters and 'internal' context such as user interest profiles or interaction context in a consistent, generalized manner. Owing to these properties, semantic models can also contribute to bridging gaps, e.g., between user models, context-aware interfaces and model-driven UI generation. There is, therefore, a considerable potential for using semantic models as a basis for adaptive interactive systems. The range of potential adaptations is wide comprising, for example, context- and user-dependent recommendations, interactive assistance when performing application-specific tasks, adaptation of the application functionality, or adaptive retrieval support. Furthermore, a variety of reasoning and machine learning techniques exist, that can be employed to achieve adaptive system behavior. Topics of interest ================== - Representing user models, domain knowledge and interaction context by means of semantic models - Cognitively or neurally founded reasoning techniques such as activation spreading for semantic user models - Context-aware interaction based on semantic models - Adaptation strategies and techniques based on semantic models for e.g. recommender systems, adaptive retrieval, collaboration support systems and others - Generating explanations or visualizations to increase user confidence and support traceability - Scalability of semantic model-based interactive systems. - Semantic model-driven UI development - Generation and evolution of semantic models for interactive systems - Evaluation approaches for adaptive interaction Objectives of the Workshop ========================== The workshop generally aims at sharing experiences and identifying a set of shared research issues that need to be addressed in future research. Specifically, we intend to identify and structure approaches and techniques for ontology-based interaction and adaptation with the aim of developing a conceptual framework, to identify the potential for building and sharing ontologies for adaptive UIs and, possibly, to start an initiative for developing them. Identify evaluation methods and criteria for semantic model-based interactive systems (shorten) Submission guidelines ===================== Prospective participants should submit a 2-page position paper describing their interests and work in the topic of the workshop and first comments concerning a list of research issues we will compile and publish on the workshop website prior to the deadline. We will select participants based on the abstract's quality and their response to the list of issues; the diversity of their backgrounds, aiming at an interdisciplinary group. A list of issues to be discussed at the workshop will be distributed through the workshop Website. The selected presenters will be asked to provide an extended 5-page position paper one month before the workshop. These position papers will be circulated in advance for participants to get an understanding of the mutual views and to provide a starting point for the discussion. Please send your submissions to submissions(a)semais.org Important Dates: ================ Submission deadline: November 15, 2009 Notification of acceptance: December 14, 2009 Revised, formatted document due: January 7, 2010 Workshop date: February 7, 2010 Plan for dissemination ====================== The results of the workshop will be available on the workshop website and will be presented as an interactive poster during the IUI conference. We will also consider an edited publication depending on the workshop results.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) Datum: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 22:15:26 -0400 Von: Arthur Tatnall <arthur.tatnall(a)vu.edu.au> Antwort an: Arthur Tatnall <arthur.tatnall(a)vu.edu.au> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 1, Issue 3, July-September 2009 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1942-535X EISSN: 1942-5368 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijantti Editor-in-Chief: Arthur Tatnall, Victoria University, Australia EDITORIAL PREFACE JANTTI 1(3) Arthur Tatnall, Victoria University, Australia This third issue of the International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) contains articles dealing with actor-network theory, innovation diffusion, and technological innovation. The articles presented in this issue provide researchers a true value of using actor-network theory as a mean to understand sociotechnical phenomena and technological innovation. To read the preface, please consult this issue of IJANTTI in your library. PAPER ONE Actor-Network Theory in ICT Research: A Wider Lens of Enquiry Amany R. Elbanna, Loughborough University, UK This article examines the properties of ANT in light of other approaches. It argues that ANT provides a theoretical inclusion of what used to be considered different poles and that ANT analytically includes a wide array of actors that used to be considered of different nature and from different levels of analysis. The study discusses how ANT properties provide researchers concerned with studying information and communication technology (ICT) with a non-biased lens to explore the phenomena of concern. The author invites researchers to reflect on the theoretical and analytical exclusion that could take place at the start of research and how a careful application of ANT could avoid it.

The authors study a set of linux kernel mailing list (LKML) postings to better understand the relationship among the kernel developers and these licenses. Using Actor-Network Theory, they identify and describe a LKML debate about licensing. This article highlights important actor networks, their interrelationships, and a (failed) process of translation.

The proposition developed in this article is that the choice of initial market segment has crucial importance as adoption in this segment can lead to a cascade of adoption in the other segments. The authors present three cases studies of an historical leader (Sony), a first mover (Archos), and a newcomer (Apple) in the market for digital audio players to illustrate this proposition.

This article argues that the complexities of the relationships between colleges where courses are run and the universities that supply these courses, can be fruitfully explored using actor-network theory. This article provides an actor-network account of one teacher-training course as an example of the ways in which both people and text-based artefacts are coalesced and coordinated, so that the course functions across institutional and spatial boundaries.

This policy-led technology transfer involves central government directives to implementation agencies. The technology transfer process usually not only involves multi-organizations that consist of many public agencies and private sector organizations but also involved many phases. Each organization plays certain roles and contributes to the achievement of the technology transfer objectives. Each phase serves a different purpose, and each role during each phase has different requirements. Coordinating and encouraging multiple organization participation in each phase is complex and a challenge that may at least result in project delays or technological decision-making based on non-technical considerations. In such a case, understanding interactions between stakeholders is important in designing activities and strategies for effective technology transfer processes suitable to the local environment.

This journal is also included in the IGI Global aggregated "InfoSci-Journals" database: <www.infosci-journals.com>. ***************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS Mission of IJANTTI: The mission of the International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation (IJANTTI) is to provide a forum for both general discussion of actor-network theory (ANT), and examples of its use in offering explanations for socio-technical phenomena, particularly those related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It is over twenty years now since Latour, Callon, and Law put together their ideas and concepts in the first papers on ANT, but for some time ANT was regarded by many as little more than a curiosity. In recent years however, the ICT research community has begun to discover the power of using ANT as an explanatory framework for many of the things in which it is interested. Implementation and use of information and communication technologies inevitably involves the interactions of both technology and people, and this is the area in which ANT is particularly useful. The main goal of this journal will be to facilitate international growth in the body of research investigating the value of using actor-network theory as a means of understanding socio-technical phenomena and technological innovation. Coverage of IJANTTI: This journal covers a range of topics related to actor-network theory (ANT). These topics will include the development of actor-network theory itself, as well as case studies of its use to assist in the explanation of various socio-technical phenomena. It will also include topics relating to technological innovation; both those using actor-network theory as an explanatory framework and those using other approaches. Possible topics include, but are not restricted to: Analytical case studies of the use of ANT for investigating technological applications in various other areas Analytical case studies of the use of ANT to investigate the implementation and use of information and communication technologies Case studies, involving ANT or other analytical frameworks, of technological innovation, and the implementation and use of information and communication technologies Comparison of the various different approaches to framing technological innovation Descriptions of ANT research methods, and the conduct of ANT research Development, evaluations, criticisms, and triumphs of ANT Innovation translation as an approach to explaining technological innovation Other approaches to the explanation of technological innovation, including innovation diffusion, the technology acceptance model, and ecological models of innovation Other papers relating to examples of technological innovation Proposals of analytical frameworks that build on, and go beyond ANT Use of ANT in the investigation of historical examples of technological innovation Interested authors should consult the journal's manuscript submission guidelines at www.igi-global.com/ijantti.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Book Chapters: Managing IT HR Datum: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:47:15 -0400 Von: Jerry Luftman <jluftman(a)stevens.edu> Antwort an: Jerry Luftman <jluftman(a)stevens.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Managing IT Human Resources: Considerations for Organizations and Personnel A book edited by Dr. Jerry Luftman Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igiglobal.com/requests/details.asp?ID=722 Introduction Attracting and retaining top IT talent is a major concern for most organizations. In the early part of this decade, when the dot com boom turned to a bust, Y2K was over, and the recession hit, everything came to a dramatic halt. The economy then improved and was struck with the recession of 2008. The economy is now improving and the hiring of IT staff is expected to rebound. It will not likely grow at the breakneck speed of the 90s, but it is anticipated to grow. It is a continuous cycle. Today new skills are required to compete in a global economy where organizations have new alternatives to choose from. In the next ten years as baby boomers retire, even more opportunities will become available. Finding IT professionals with specific skills is no easy feat. Today�s job skills require not only strong technical skills, but also excellent business, industry, communication, marketing, and negotiating abilities. Objective of the Book This book will be a comprehensive presentation of current and emerging perspectives focusing on all aspects of managing IT HR from the view of both practitioners and academics located around the globe. It will focus on the results of recent research (from leading practitioners and academics) and their implications to IT human resource considerations. It presents what IT professionals are seeking in a position, characteristics of the IT environment that contributes to the HR complexity, the retention of IT talent, stress in the workplace, IT career development, and the impact of IT outsourcing. Target Audience This is a critical subject for IT management and human resource management programs, as well as for practitioners from IT and HR organizations, and academics seeking to identify program content. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: a. Historical perspective of IT HR b. Current perspective of IT HR c. Future perspective of IT HR d. Careers in IT e. Hiring IT professionals f. Retaining IT professionals g. Preparing IT professionals (skills & competencies) h. Impact of IT outsourcing i. Morals, ethics, and social considerations j. IT professional associations Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before October 26, 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 November 30, 2009 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by February 22, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. 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,� �Business Science Reference,� and �Engineering Science Reference� imprints.

[Fwd: [isworld] Final CFP - JSIS special issue on Healthcare IS]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Final CFP - JSIS special issue on Healthcare IS Datum: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:32:05 -0400 Von: Amir M. Sharif <ams(a)amir.demon.co.uk> Antwort an: Amir M. Sharif <ams(a)amir.demon.co.uk> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> **** Final call Please note 30th September 2009, closing date for the below JSIS!! Journal of Strategic Information Systems ============================================= Special Issue on "Using Strategic Information Systems to Manage Change: A focus on Healthcare Management Systems" The progression and development of many first world and emerging market economies is leading to an increasing dependency upon the healthcare industry to provide accessible, immediate and relevant support to those who require medical and health-issue related or attention. History as well as experience informs us that private as well as public healthcare programmes and organizations are burdened by the dual weight of legislature and the effective delivery of services to patients. The pace and breadth of change within the public sector at large, has also placed inordinate demands upon those actors within the healthcare sector: namely policy makers, managers, medical and clinical staff, administration, support staff, patients and ancillary service providers (such as transport services, care services, charities and voluntary organizations � right through to pharmaceutical companies and equipment manufacturers). In fact, all of those who are involved within the extended supply and value chain in this sector. An underlying component of all of these factors is the manner by which IS and ICT systems integrate with health-oriented processes and operations. As such, this special issue seeks to focus on the nexus of IS, Change and Supply Chain Management in Healthcare, with reference to how healthcare systems can be strategically designed, implemented and managed (be they IS or otherwise-driven). Papers are welcome on any of the following facets listed below: � Management and implementation of Change as it impacts IS in Healthcare organizations � IS design in Healthcare (patient record systems, patient care and pathways, patient and resource management): focusing on the health of individuals and / or populations � Management and Executive Information Systems in Healthcare-oriented settings (for monitoring and control) � Management of Knowledge and transfer of information across the provider-supplier-consumer divide � Management of Risk and operational contingencies supported by IS � Socio-technical aspects of stakeholder-driven healthcare IS (at the organization and individual level): participation, uptake and engagement in strategic change decisions � Procurement and auction-based systems (effective purchasing and distribution of business resources and equipment) � Database and data warehouse intelligence applications for healthcare � Customer Relationship Management systems � Services Design and Services Science relating to patient care pathways (at populace and individual level) � Benchmarking and performance management of Strategic Healthcare IS � Electronic Government (e-Government) and Transformational Government (t-Government) policies, practices and experiences at the healthcare level (shared ICT provision and development of IT staff) In addition, papers are requested to include a clear methodological basis in terms of the interplay between IS and organizational theory � for example, the Technology Acquisition Model, Resource-Based View of the Firm, Granovetter�s Strength of Ties, Institutional Theory, Actor-Network Theory � to name a few. Researchers as well as practitioners in the associated fields of Healthcare, IS, Operations / Supply Chain Management and Organizational Behavior are welcome to submit research and case experiences along the above lines, and practice-based or empirical work based upon Quantitative, Qualitative or Mixed-Methods approaches with a view to interdisciplinary perspectives is particularly encouraged. Furthermore, respondents to this call may also wish to address the following thematic challenges as well: � Identifying underlying factors which make IS-led change management initiatives �stick� � The effect of Healthcare policies on the implementation of healthcare IS (i.e. Government or Agency-driven change) � Provision and analysis of local and national healthcare systems (e.g. planning and patient care pathway design using IS techniques and tools): how might IS be designed/implemented to support patient-driven health care, via strategic IS for the co-ordination of healthcare and medical informatics from and to the patient. � Addressing the Strategic IS triad of People-Process-Technology (or its counterpart, Resources-Time-Effort) � Balancing Corporate Culture, Corporate Responsibility and Corporate Governance objectives with IS goals in Healthcare-focussed organizations (public-private partnership considerations) � Designing and evaluating IS to meet strategic healthcare supply chain needs (i.e. systems to support the information and logistics relating to healthcare products and services, directly to all stakeholders) � Business Process Improvement / Re-engineering of healthcare sector IS (reducing clerical, medical and administrative errors) � Managing and improving performance of organizational and strategic healthcare IS (patient record systems, diagnosis databases, planning and resource modeling tools) � Development and management of IS management and professionals to address healthcare sector challenges � How might IS be designed to support healthcare delivery in the private healthcare sector (e.g. patient-centered medical homes)? � The effect of trust in the usage of IS in healthcare contexts (healthcare professionals, patients, support staff and carers) � How might IS be used to deal with/manage health in aging populations? � Improvement of existing and new (de)centralized patient record systems to inform and direct the design of healthcare policy, processes and systems (extending to a comparison of nationalized versus privatized medical record databases) � The Bottom Billion: provision of healthcare services and systems to third world and emerging market economies (identifying strategic IS priorities to kick-start effective healthcare supply and value chains, via governmental, private sector and voluntary-aided organizations). Thus, the special issue will ultimately try to address how tried and tested methods of managing change within Healthcare needs to involve and evolve the input of IS and Operations Management factors. This is because this industry encapsulates an environment where change is ever emergent and where organisational stakeholders need to be proactively involved across many dimensions of product / service delivery. Instructions for Submission Full papers are due by September 30th 2009, for potential publication in Fall 2010. Authors are instructed to follow the Guide for Authors and submission guidelines for the journal at the journal�s website, http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jsis Guest Editors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Professor Amir M.
