-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] IJISCM Special Issue on "Change Management in the Healthcare Industry" Datum: Wed, 9 Sep 2009 12:03:51 -0400 Von: David C. Chou <david.chou(a)emich.edu> Antwort an: David C. Chou <david.chou(a)emich.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> International Journal of Information Systems and Change Management (IJISCM) Call For papers Special issue on: "Change Management in the Healthcare Industry" Guest Editors: Dr. James Langabeer II, University of Texas at Houston, USA The healthcare industry is experiencing change, primarily directed at physician behaviors, drug regulatory processes, hospital practices, and monitoring of core quality outcomes. New technologies and information systems and revised payment and financing methods are the impetus for change. In addition, countries such as the US have the potential for discontinuous systemic change through major policy reforms being discussed. The need for theories and improved practice of the management of change is heightened by the increasing calls for quality and efficiency simultaneously. Managing change at the organizational and system levels will become increasingly important. This special issue is focused on exploring contemporary theories of change management in the industry, as well as empirical analyses of existing ones. The healthcare context for this special issue includes pharmaceuticals, hospitals, medical supply distributors, physician practices, and other healthcare organizations. The special issue welcomes a multidisciplinary approach to change management, welcoming submissions from fields of management science, decision sciences, information systems, organizational theory, among others. Preference will be given to high quality papers that have a firm grounding in scientific and mathematical methods, instead of primarily application-based papers. Case study research is not recommended, although theoretical papers that bridge the gap between theory and practice are most useful. Subject Coverage: We encourage submission of high-quality papers addressing issues involving change and the management of change in the healthcare industry. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following: � Transformational strategies for leading change in healthcare � Behavior and cognitive impacts of change on healthcare organizations � Assessing the role and impact of key information systems (e.g. electronic medical record) adoption on change of organizational management systems and processes � The role of emergent and planned change � Empirical analyses of management strategies for both discontinuous and incremental change � Comparative effectiveness and industry change � The affect of quality program adoption on healthcare efficiency, cost, and quality � Organizational theories for describing ecology of change Notes for Prospective Authors: Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere All papers are refereed through a peer review process. A guide for authors, sample copies and other relevant information for submitting papers are available on the Author Guidelines page at http://www.inderscience.com/mapper.php?id=31 Important Dates: Full paper deadline: 20 November 2009 Notification of acceptance and review results: 15 December 2009 Revised submission deadline: 15 January 2010 Notification of acceptance: 1 February 2010 Camera-ready version deadline: 12 February 2010 Editors and Notes: You may send an MS Word file attached to an e-mail (details in Author Guidelines) to the following: Dr. James Langabeer II Assoc Professor of Management University of Texas at Houston Dept of Management and Policy Sciences 1200 Pressler Drive, RAS E-341 Houston, Texas 77030 USA E-mail: James.R.Langabeer(a)uth.tmc.edu The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).

Innovation plays an important role in the development of new business, process and products, therefore in the competitiveness and success of any organization. Innovation, by its turn, depends on creativity, on the emergence of new ideas, new ways of thinking and solving problems, on the ability to develop an organizational culture where people feel free to try new projects and have enough flexibility as well as time and space to think. The rapid technological enhancements have changed the way we work, communicate, collaborate and even the nature of business market activities. Such an environmental change and dynamism increases the need for creativity and change which in turn will lead to more technological changes. In this context, it is vital to be aware of and understand what is happening in this area and help organizations and people to be prepared to face these new challenges and to be sensitive to identify the new opportunities that will emerge. This book intends to contribute to fill this gap. Objective of the Book This book will aim to provide relevant academic work, the latest empirical research findings as well as examples of best practices found in the business area concerning creativity and innovation. It will be written for educators, academics and professionals who want to improve their understanding on creativity and innovation and in the role technologies can play in this scientific field. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of educators, professionals and researchers working in the field of creativity and innovation and information technologies in various disciplines, e.g. information and communication sciences, administrative sciences and management, education, adult education, sociology, computer science, information technology, engineering, arts and psychology. Moreover, the book will provide insight and support to those concerned with the application of creativity and innovation and the use of technologies, methods and tools to develop the necessary skills and competences to work and have success in this field.

[Fwd: [isworld] International Workshop on Business intelligencE and the WEB (BEWEB 2010)]
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Sep '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] International Workshop on Business intelligencE and the WEB (BEWEB 2010) Datum: Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:24:30 +0200 Von: Florian Daniel <daniel(a)disi.unitn.it> Antwort an: Florian Daniel <daniel(a)disi.unitn.it> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> Call for Papers International Workshop on Business IntelligencE and the WEB (BEWEB 2010) http://gplsi.dlsi.ua.es/congresos/beweb10 In conjuntion with EDBT/ICDT 2010 Joint Conference Lausanne, Switzerland, March 22, 2010 Conference Web Site: http://lbd.epfl.ch/EDBTICDT Introduction ------------ Over the last decade we have been witnessing an increasing use of Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, which allow business people to query, understand, and analyze their business data in order to make better decisions. Traditionally, BI applications allowed business people to acquire useful knowledge from the data of their organization by means of a variety of technologies, such as data warehousing, data mining, business performance management, OLAP, periodical business reports, and the like. Yet, in the very recent years, a new trend emerged: BI applications no longer limit their analysis to the data inside one company. Increasingly, they also source their data from the outside, i.e., from the Web, and complement company-internal data with value-adding information from the Web (e.g., retail prices of products sold by competitors), in order to provide richer insights into the dynamics of today?s business. In parallel to the move of data from the Web into BI applications, we are now assisting to the move of BI applications from company-internal information systems to the Web: BI as a service (e.g., hosted BI platforms for small- and medium-size companies) is the target of huge investments and the focus of large research efforts by industry. The idea is that of outsourcing the processing and analysis of large bodies of data and consuming BI from the cloud. We associate the above dynamics in the BI landscape with the following research challenges: 1. Data from the Web is feeding BI applications: In the last decade, the amount and complexity of data available on the Web has been growing rapidly. As a consequence, designers of BI applications making use of data from the Web have to deal with several issues. Among the most interesting challenges we find, for instance, the extraction and integration of heterogeneous data sources. But there are many other interesting research challenges that arise in the moment the Web is seen as data repository: how to develop Web warehousing solutions, how to tackle with data quality issues, how to leverage semantic Web technologies, how to employ Web mining, how to do BI with unstructured data (e.g., text) or semi-structured data (e.g., XML), and so on. Also, a recently emerged research challenge is Web Intelligence, which explores the use of Artificial Intelligence in conjunction with or relation to Web technologies. Other interesting topics arise when Web usage data (e.g., logs, data streams, click streams, etc.) are analyzed and used in BI applications, since these data can give support to the development of Web applications, for example to achieve advanced levels of adaptivity in websites. 2. BI applications are moving to the Web: The move of BI applications from company-internal information systems to applications that are accessible over the Web implies the need for web-specific design competencies. In this context, we strongly believe that (existing and future) Web engineering methodologies and technologies represent a large body of knowledge and expertise that could be very useful in the design of applications that allow decision makers to access BI data and functionalities over the Web. Good Web engineering is also the foundation of the design of real-time BI and business performance management applications, as through the Web applications provide access to data from anywhere, at anytime, and via any media. But BI on the Web also implies a plethora of new research challenges that are specific to the BI context, e.g., using Web mashups and RIA for BI development, usability and accessibility for BI applications, security issues in BI, and so on. Target audience and topics of interest -------------------------------------- BEWEB intends to be an international forum for exchanging ideas on how to leverage the huge amount of data that is available on the Web in BI applications, on how to apply Web engineering methods and techniques to the design of BI applications, and on how to use BI knowledge in the design of Web applications. Papers focused on new domains and new experiences with the connection between BI and the Web are also highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers, designers, and users who are related to the combination of these three main topics. The scope of the workshop includes but is not limited to: - Web warehousing - Extraction, transformation, and load of Web data - Web integration - Web data quality - Semantic Web technologies - Web Mining - Web Intelligence - The role of Web 2.0/3.0 in BI - BI with unstructured data (e.g., text) and semi-structured data (e.g., XML) - BI for designing adaptive websites - Web engineering techniques for BI applications (Web mashups, RIA, etc.) - Real time BI - Business performance management - Usability and accessibility for BI applications - Security issues in BI - BI as a service Submission Guidelines --------------------- Paper submission will be electronic by using EasyChair. Submitted papers have to be formatted according to the ACM guidelines (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). The length of a submission should not exceed 8 pages in ACM double-column format. Papers not conforming to these requirements may be rejected without further consideration. Publication for BEWEB workshop will be handled together with publications from the main conference. we also intend to negotiate a special issue in a JCR journal for the publication of extended versions of the best contributions to the workshop.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfP - Speical issue on IS/IT in Nonprofits for IJISSC Datum: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 23:13:14 -0400 Von: Wei Zhang <wei.zhang(a)umb.edu> Antwort an: Wei Zhang <wei.zhang(a)umb.edu> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> For a better formatted view, see: http://www.pubopp.com/SI/DisplaySI_Org.aspx?siid=19833655489122&sicode=1984… Call for Papers for Special Issue of International Journal of Information Systems and Social Change On Information Systems/Information Technologies Issues in Nonprofits Tentative Publication Date: December 2010 The nonprofit sector has become a substantial part of the US economy. Although the penetration of IS/IT into nonprofit organizations has been increasing, nonprofits overall still lag behind the private and public sectors with respect to IT adoption and usage. While some nonprofit organizations benefit from new advances in IS/IT, many struggle to manage their technical infrastructure given their constrained budgets and limited access to technical resources. These challenges bring great opportunities for IS researchers. The aim of this special issue is to provide researchers interested in IS/IT in nonprofit organizations with a forum to share their ideas and their work. We hope submissions to this special issue can not only generate insights on how nonprofits can better manage their IS/IT but also expand our knowledge in the interaction between IS/IT and broader organizational context. We especially welcome papers that explicitly address the nonprofit context during theoretical developments. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following topics: � IS/IT governance in nonprofits, for example Characteristics of nonprofit software markets Helping nonprofit managers explore the potential of IS/IT The effect of funding source on IS/IT investment in the nonprofit sector Strategic uses of IS/IT in nonprofits Strategies for raising funds for IS/IT projects in nonprofits IS/IT cost estimation models � Privacy, security, and confidentiality issues affecting non-profits, for example: Data security practices in nonprofits Client record de-identification Confidentiality and consent to use client level-data Legal issues pertaining to client data records � Evaluation of IS/IT effectiveness in nonprofits, for example: The role of nonprofit technology assistance providers such as NTAPs The effect of cooperative norms on sector-wide technology support frameworks Partnerships with private companies for IS/IT consulting Building synergies Examples of effective technology assistance models � System development and deployment involving nonprofit organizations, for example: IS/IT acceptance by users in nonprofits Approaches to facilitate stakeholder analysis and representation Systems development techniques and methods applicable to non-profits The relevance of constituency representation and procedural issues in systems development Training models suitable to high turnover populations IS/IT acquisition models � Effects of IS/IT on non-profit work, for example Fundraising strategies for the Internet Balancing between accountability and service Performance or efficiencies enhancement through IS/IT IT/IS workforce in nonprofits, for example, Preserving IS/IT expertise in nonprofits IS/IT apprenticeships in nonprofits IS/IT volunteerism and the organization of IS/IT work using volunteers Match and mismatch between organizational values and the values of IS/IT professionals Virtual volunteering The manuscript format is: 12-point font, double-spaced, in Microsoft Word (preferred) or PDF document. Submitted manuscripts must be written in the APA (American Psychological Association) editorial style. Please look up this style. IS journals using this style include MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research. Footnotes are not allowed. Endnotes should be kept to a minimum; instead the material should be incorporated in the body of the paper. References should be listed in alphabetical order. The suggested length is about 20 pages not counting references, tables, and figures. Each submitted manuscript should include a brief abstract (150 words or less). Separate sections should be created for acknowledgements, references, author biography or other relevant information. A cover page should be included with the manuscript. The cover page should include the title of the article, the date of submission and the following information for all authors: name, official title and affiliation, office contact information (address, phone and fax numbers, email addresses). The manuscript should have the title of the article and the abstract on the top of the first page of the manuscript.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 1. Symposium on Collective Intelligence - COLLIN 2010 Datum: Tue, 8 Sep 2009 07:39:45 +0200 Von: Ulrike Baumöl <Ulrike.Baumoel(a)FernUni-Hagen.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, gerne mache ich Sie auf das 1. Symposium on Collective Intelligence (COLLIN 2010) aufmerksam, das am 15. und 16. April 2010 an der FernUniversität in Hagen stattfindet. Wir freuen uns auf interessante Einreichungen und Diskussionen! Bitte entschuldigen Sie Mehrfachzustellungen! Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Hagen Ulrike Baumöl -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - EINREICHUNGSDEADLINE: 01.12.2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Symposium on Collective Intelligence - COLLIN 2010 vom 15.-16.04.2010 in Hagen (http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/collin2010/en/ <http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/collin2010>) Collective behavior and collective intelligence can be found in various contexts. For example, new designs of T-Shirts, Lego models or sports shoes are developed by the crowd in the web, the audience of the TV-show “Who wants to be a millionaire” can provide the answer to a question the candidate cannot answer. These are only few examples of the potential of collective intelligence. Changing environmental factors, like new information technology and changed customer behavior, allow for many opportunities for the emergence of collective intelligence. Collective behavior and the achieved results as well as the closely connected individual learning processes offer a high potential for value creation in different areas, like business, research or society. However, the potential of collective behavior, collective intelligence and learning in the context of value creation is widely unexplored. To harness this potential, it is important to understand the basic concepts, features and mechanism of collective intelligence based on interdisciplinary research. To provide a platform to share ideas and information between scientists and also between scientists and practitioners, a symposium on collective intelligence will take place from April 15 to April 16, 2010 at the FernUniversitaet in Hagen. Since the topic is highly interdisciplinary the symposium focuses on different research areas, like economics, informatics, media science, psychology, or sociology. We are planning to publish the conference proceedings in Springer Lecture Notes. *Tracks:* *Track 1: Technology-enhanced learning in education and training - Knowledge construction and development of competencies in knowledge networks *Topics include, but are not limited to: - Pedagogical and didactical opportunities for technology-enhanced learning and teaching - Knowledge construction and interaction, communication and collaboration in learning tasks - Collaboration in communities and/or open networks - Instructional design models and principles - New trends in educational technology (Web 2.0, Open Educational Resources, Mobile learning) - Required competencies for learning, teaching and tutoring in technology-enhanced networks. - Support systems for students and teachers - Technical systems for the support of lifelong-learning, on demand learning and knowledge sharing - Change management, implementation and dissemination of innovation in education and training - Quality-management systems for technology enhanced learning - Assessment methods *Track 2: Web-based collective intelligence in innovation processes* Topics include, but are not limited to: - Methods and designs to use collective intelligence for value creation - Categorization of mechanisms of web-based collective intelligence - Business models for harnessing collective intelligence - Challenges and success factors to harness web-based collective intelligence in innovation processes - Methods to design environments for collective intelligent behavior - Methods and models to analyze web-based collective phenomena - Concepts to coordinate and control collective value creation - Scientific theories to analyze web-based collective intelligence - Scientific theories to analyze innovation processes and innovation networks - Technological and organizational triggers to promote collective intelligence - Case studies of using web-based collective intelligence for value creation * Track 3: Assessment factors, performance evaluation, and building blocks of Collective‑Intelligence (CI)‑Systems*** Topics include, but are not limited to: - Design requirements and development of CI-Systems - Architecture and components of CI-Systems - Case studies and applications of CI-Systems - Decision support systems considering social network information - Assessment factors for social networks - Performance evaluation of social networks - Mechanisms for establishing knowledge networks - Methods for designing CI-Systems - Mechanisms for extracting, storing, and accessing collective knowledge - Formal structures and representations of collective knowledge - IT-supported modeling of collective knowledge ** *Conference chairs* Theo J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CfPart - Software Language Engineering 2009 Datum: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 06:12:49 -0700 Von: Dragan Gasevic <dgasevic(a)acm.org> Antwort an: Dragan Gasevic <dgasevic(a)acm.org> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ___________________________________________________________ Call for Participation - SLE 2009 2nd International Conference on Software Language Engineering http://planet-sl.org/sle2009 Denver, Colorado, October 5-6, 2009 ____________________________________________________________ Co-located with 12th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2009) and 8th International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2009) Highlights: - Research Program: 15 research papers, 6 short papers and 2 tool demos (program listed below) - Keynote Speakers: Jean Bezivin and James Cordy - Early Registration: Open until Sept 14, 2008 Conference ---------- The 2nd International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE) is devoted to topics related to artificial languages in software engineering. SLE's foremost mission is to encourage and organize communication between communities that have traditionally looked at software languages from different, more specialized, and yet complementary perspectives. SLE emphasizes the fundamental notion of languages as opposed to any realization in specific "technical spaces". SLE 2009 will be co-located with the 12th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2009) and 8th International Conference on Generative Programming and Component Engineering (GPCE 2009). Scope ----- The term 'software language' comprises all sorts of artificial languages used in software development, including general-purpose programming languages, domain-specific languages, modeling and meta-modeling languages, data models, and ontologies. Used in its broadest sense, examples include modeling languages such as UML-based and domain-specific modeling languages, business process modeling languages, and web application modeling languages. The term 'software language' also comprises APIs and collections of design patterns that are implicitly defined languages. Software language engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, use, and maintenance of these languages. Thus, the SLE conference is concerned with all phases of the life cycle of software languages; these include the design, implementation, documentation, testing, deployment, evolution, recovery, and retirement of languages. Of special interest are tools, techniques, methods and formalisms that support these activities. In particular, tools are often based on or even automatically generated from a formal description of the language. Hence, of special interest is the treatment of language descriptions as software artifacts, akin to programs - while paying attention to the special status of language descriptions, subject to tailored engineering principles and methods for modularization, refactoring, refinement, composition, versioning, co-evolution, and analysis.

[Fwd: Information Systems 2010 in Porto, Portugal: submit until 30 October]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Information Systems 2010 in Porto, Portugal: submit until 30 October Datum: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 17:01:18 -0500 (CDT) Von: Ana Sofia <ana.sofia(a)is-conf.org> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at ** Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students.** -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline: 30 October 2009 ********************************************************************* * IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2010* March 18-20, 2010 – Porto, Portugal (http://www.is-conf.org/) ********************************************************************* ** Conference background and goals * A new paradigm is sweeping the society, organisations and the business environment. In fact, society and business world alike are moving from its tangible bases to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS) to support its management, use and sharing. In this emerging paradigm, terms like information, communication, knowledge, and learning have acquired a critical relevance to the understanding of the nature of contemporary business. This led authors such as Drucker (1993) to state that “we are entering the knowledge society in which the basic economic resource… is knowledge”. In fact, since the mid-1980s, there has been a sudden avalanche of a new kind of vocabulary. Corporations, which so far had been economic entities, are being described as ‘information-based organizations’, ‘learning organizations’, ‘knowledge-creating companies’ or knowledge intensive organisations. Instead of product-market strategies, the fashionable business discourse invokes core competencies, intangible assets, knowledge-based capabilities, intellectual capital, knowledge management etc. Consequently, in this 21st century of ours, terms such as intellectual capital, knowledge management, and knowledge mapping have increasingly become part of the corporate landscape. However, none of this apparent revolution would be possible without the underlying technological support provided by IS. The IADIS Information Systems Conference (IS 2010) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS taking a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. ** Format of the Conference * The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems. ** Types of submissions * Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * A set of key issues has been identified (see below). However, these do not aim at being prescriptive, or set in stone, and any innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be considered. Areas and Topics of the conference will focus on: IS in Practice, Technology Infrastructures and Organisational Processes • Power, Cultural, Behavioural and Political issues • New Organisational Forms • Dilution of Organisational Boundaries • The centrality of IS and IT in Organisational Processes • IS Management • Information Management • Knowledge Management • IS and SMEs • Innovation and IS • Innovation and Knowledge Management • IS and Change Management • IS and Organisation Development • Enterprise Application Integration • Enterprise Resource Planning • Business Process Change IS Design, Development and Management Issues and Methodologies • Design and Development Methodologies and Frameworks • Iterative and Incremental Methodologies • Agile Methodologies • IS Design and Development as a Component-Based Process • IS Design and Development as Social Negotiation Process • IS D Design and Development as a Global and Distributed Process • Outsourcing in IS • Outsourcing Risks, Barriers and Opportunities • IS Project Management • IS Quality Management and Assurance • IS Standards and Compliance Issues • Risk Management in IS • Risk Management in IS Design and Development IS Professional Issues • Ethical, social, privacy, security and moral issues in an e-society • The role of information in the information society • Myths, taboos and misconceptions in IS • Practitioner and Research Relationship, Projects and Links • Validity, Usefulness and Applicability of IS Academic Research • Industrial Research versus Academic Research Issues • Industry Innovation and Leadership and Academic Laggards • IS consultancy as a profession • Organisational IS Roles • Communities of practice and Knowledge Sharing IS Research • Core Theories, Conceptualisations and Paradigms in IS Research • Ontological Assumptions in IS Research • IS Research Constraints, Limitations and Opportunities • IS vs Computer Science Research • IS vs Business Studies • Positivist, Interpretivist and Critical Approaches to IS Research • Quantitative vs. Qualitative Methods • Deductive vs Inductive Approaches • Multi-method Approaches and Triangulations in IS Research • Design Research and the Sciences of the Artificial in IS • Multidisciplinary Views and Multi Methodological Approaches • New and alternative approaches to IS research • Examples of experimental research designs in IS IS Learning and Teaching • Patterns of Demand for IS Teaching Provision • Fads, Fashions and Fetishes in IS Curricula • Pedagogic practice in Teaching IS • E-Learning in IS • Instructional Design for IS • National Cultures and Approaches to Pedagogy • Multiculturality ad Diversity Issues in IS Learning and Teaching ** Important Dates:* - Submission deadline: 30 October 2009 - Notification to Authors: 27 November 2009 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration: Until 18 December 2009 - Late Registration: After 18 December 2009 - Conference: Porto, Portugal, 18 to 20 March 2010 ** Conference Location * The conference will be held in Porto, Portugal. ** Secretariat * IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2010 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3, 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)is-conf.org Web site: http://www.is-conf.org/ ** Program Committee * Conference Chair Professor Philip Powell, Deputy Dean, University of Bath, UK Program Co-Chairs Miguel Baptista Nunes, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Committee Members: for the full Committee Members list please access http://www.is-conf.org/committees.asp ** Co-located events* Please also check the co-located events: e-Society 2010 (http://www.esociety-conf.org/) - 18-21 March 2010 Mobile Learning 2010 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/) - 19-21 March 2010 * Registered participants in the Information Systems’ conference may attend Mobile Learning and e-Society conferences’ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://diez.quattro.co.za//home/r.asp?SID=0&G=2> subscribe <http://diez.quattro.co.za/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=1252…> forward <http://diez.quattro.co.za/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&Hit…> unsubscribe <http://diez.quattro.co.za/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neum…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.

With a population of just 28.000 inhabitants, Paphos nestles in the lee of the Western Troodos Mountains and close to the Akamas National Park which add another dimension to this area of scenic beauty. Paphos has an air of holiday charm combined with history, and olden-day elegance is lent to the town by its classical style buildings in the upper part of town which leads to the shopping area. The lower part of the town has a life of its own, down near the sea, home of the harbour, the fish taverns, souvenir shops and several hotels with important archaeological sites around them. Paphos was the island's capital, and it is famous for the remains of the Roman Governor's palace, where extensive, fine mosaics are a major tourist attraction. The town of Paphos is included in the official UNESCO list of cultural and natural treasures of the world's heritage. -- FURTHER INFORMATION AND ENQUIRIES -- For further information, do not hesitate to contact the following addresses. - GENERAL INFORMATION e-mail: etaps10(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy - George Papadopoulos, george(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy - Anna Philippou, annap(a)cs.ucy.ac.cy -- The AISWorld LISTSERV is a service of the Association for Information Systems (http://www.aisnet.org).
