[Fwd: [isworld] Call for Submissions: Instructional Tools and Modules]
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Sep '09

19 Sep '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] Call for Submissions: Instructional Tools and Modules Datum: Fri, 18 Sep 2009 18:00:04 -0400 Von: Faiz Currim <faiz-currim(a)uiowa.edu> Antwort an: Faiz Currim <faiz-currim(a)uiowa.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> CALL for Submissions: Instructional Tools and Modules Nineteenth Workshop on Information Technologies and Systems (WITS'09) December 14�15, 2009, Phoenix, Arizona - USA http://www.indiana.edu/~wits2009/ INTRODUCTION ------------ Instructors teaching Information Technology (IT) in a business curriculum face significant challenges in organizing and developing instructional materials that effectively integrate technology concepts with business issues and problems. Often, instructional approaches tend to align themselves at extreme ends of the technology-business spectrum. At one extreme, the technological skills are given the main focus with limited emphasis on understanding the solution from the business contexts and requirements. At the other end, pedagogical materials are developed primarily with a business focus with little attention to understanding the key IT enablers and their potential to impact business solutions. Both approaches � lack of adequate and appropriate business contexts or the treatment of technology as a black box � lead to less than ideal learning outcomes for the business students. The objective of the technology instructional tools and modules session is to bring together well-developed ideas, which can assist the MIS community at large, in their quest to improve the business orientation of their IT curricula. We solicit submissions of instructional modules that would demonstrate innovative integrations of technology and business in graduate or undergraduate courses. REQUIREMENTS ------------ The modules should be targeted to business students and deliverable in 60-90 minutes. Authors should adhere to the following requirements: * Clearly define the learning objectives of the exercise. The focus of the learning objectives could be (one or more of): - Technical (e.g., using threading in object-oriented programming, triggers in databases) - Analytical/design oriented (e.g., requirements analysis for database design, security policy design, systems development) - Business problem-solving focused (e.g., insurance policy pricing for data security, data mining in financial analytics) * List the target audience (undergraduate/graduate) and pre-requisite knowledge for undertaking the exercises, both business fundamentals as well as technical proficiency. Examples include: - Students should be familiar with basic concepts of supply chain and have working knowledge of SQL. - Students should be familiar with statistics, specifically ANOVA. * Present a well-defined business problem which provides the context as well as the requirements for the IT-driven solution. The business problem can be identified from existing practices (e.g., remote data/call center management, outsourcing/off-shoring of services, system integration problems), available case studies (e.g. HBSP, Ivey) or mini-cases available from several sources (e.g. CIO.com, textbooks). The domain(s) of the business problem should be clearly identified using one or more standard keywords such as supply-chain, e-commerce, business intelligence, information security. * Contain a hands-on IT skills component, which is to be undertaken by the student either individually or in a collaborative environment. The requisite IT component(s) should be clearly defined. These requirements could be a combination of: - Specific technology platforms such as MS Access and Excel, Visual Basic .Net or Oracle 11g, WebSphere or SAP - Generic technological requirements such as Object-oriented programming language, Database, Open platform which allows for inducting decision tree using C4.5 or equivalent algorithm * A �Teaching Note� with a suggested process outline for lessons delivery for the instructor adopting the case for in-class instruction. The teaching note should also clearly separate what portions (if any) need to be completed before class and after the class. A sample set of IS/IT domains for development of cases/instruction tutorials that is not exclusive is: * Spreadsheet applications * Requirements analysis * Database design and development * Database applications * Programming * Business Intelligence/Data Mining * Network Analysis and Design * Network Security * Information Assurance * IT Infrastructure planning and administration * IT resource optimization in different contexts SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------- The submission should be made in a word/PDF file and contain all of the above information (1 page), plus up to 6 slides in PowerPoint/ PDF format containing teaching material from the module should also be included (may be combined in a single PDF document or .zip archive). Please email your submission to faiz-currim(a)uiowa.edu . Upon acceptance, authors will be asked to prepare materials for a poster board to be presented at WITS. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Deadline submission: ............. October 09, 2009 Notification of acceptance: ....... October 19, 2009 Camera-ready copy due: ............

Outsourcing, software-as-a-service, infrastructure renting and social networking sites change the way we think about information handling. Instead of managing our own information, we leave it somewhere "out there". The development of providing information technology as a service is currently reaching its apex in cloud computing: a technology that provides on-demand access to massively scalable resources. When the information being processed is sensitive, security and privacy concerns are inevitable. How can we protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information that is processed outside our control? In the SPCC workshop, we seek technical and organisational solutions for protecting security and privacy in cloud computing environments. The workshop will consist of keynote lectures on security and privacy in cloud computing as well as presentations of submitted papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Understanding cloud security and privacy o security modelling and threat analysis o security requirements engineering o interaction between the physical, digital and social security domains - Technical security mechanisms for cloud computing o access control o applied cryptography and protocols o centralised vs. decentralised security architectures o data-centric security and data classification o identity-centric security and identity management - Cloud computing in organisational and societal context o auditing o incident identification and management o risk analysis and risk management o trust management o economic, social and legal aspects Technical contributions should provide insight into business and/or societal value. Papers and presentations should be targeted to a broad audience, including information security experts, legal experts, policy makers, and social scientists. We especially encourage submission of papers that connect two or more of the above topics. Papers should be PDF, in Springer book chapter style (http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors?SGWID=0-154102-12-417900-0 ), without author identification, and should be submitted through the EasyChair website (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=spcc2010) by 16 November 2009. We accept both position papers (maximum 10 pages) and full papers (maximum 15 pages). Papers will be selected based on blind review. Submission implies that, should the paper be accepted, at least one author will register for the conference and present the paper in the workshop. Accepted papers will be published by Springer in the book of the CPDP conference (post-proceedings). Important dates: Submission Deadline: 16 November 2009 Notification of Acceptance: 15 December 2009 Papers' Presentation at CPDP: 29 January 2010 Final Camera-Ready Version for Publication: 17 May 2010 Organising committee: dr.
