[Fwd: [isworld] JAIS Special Issue CFP: Empirical Research on Free/Libre Open Source Software]
by Gustaf Neumann 04 Sep '09

04 Sep '09

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] JAIS Special Issue CFP: Empirical Research on Free/Libre Open Source Software Datum: Thu, 3 Sep 2009 23:25:37 -0400 Von: Michael Wade <mwade(a)schulich.yorku.ca> Antwort an: Michael Wade <mwade(a)schulich.yorku.ca> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> *** Reminder *** Call for papers: Special issue of the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) Empirical Research on Free/Libre Open Source Software Over the past decade, the Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) phenomenon has revolutionized the ways in which organizations and individuals create, distribute, acquire and use information systems and services, making it an increasingly important topic of research for information systems researchers. FLOSS has moved from a curiosity to the mainstream: it has become a useful instrument for educators and researchers, an important aspect of e-government and information society initiative and a consideration in all technology business plans (e.g., Fitzgerald 2006). The apparent success of FLOSS development has challenged the conventional wisdom of the software and business communities about the best ways to develop and acquire software. The research literature on software development and on distributed work more generally emphasizes the difficulties of distributed software development (e.g., Herbsleb et al. 2000), but the apparent success of FLOSS development presents an intriguing counter-example. Characterized by a globally distributed developer force and a rapid and reliable software development process, effective FLOSS development teams somehow profit from the advantages and overcome the challenges of distributed work (Alho et al. 1998). Traditional organizations have taken note of these successes and have sought ways of leveraging FLOSS methods for their own distributed teams. More broadly, FLOSS development provides a commonly referred to model for open collaboration, increasingly seen as a viable approach to community-based development of systems and information resources more generally. Thus, while in many ways unique, the distributed and self-organizing nature of FLOSS teams represents a mode of work that is increasingly common in many organizations. As well, FLOSS development is an important phenomena deserving of study for itself (Feller 2001). FLOSS is an important commercial phenomenon involving all kinds of software development firms, large, small and startup. Millions of users depend on FLOSS systems such as Linux or Firefox, and the Internet is heavily dependent on FLOSS tools. These systems are an integral part of the infrastructure of modern society, making it critical to understand more fully how they are developed. Furthermore, FLOSS is an increasingly important venue for students learning about software development. However, researchers are just beginning to understand how people in these communities coordinate software development and the work practices necessary to their success. Part of the challenge to researchers is that FLOSS is a complex phenomenon that requires an interdisciplinary understanding of its engineering, technical, economic, legal and socio-cultural dynamics. It is similar to many other phenomena (e.g., virtual teams, user innovation, distributed software engineering, voluntary organizations, social movements), without being exactly like any, making it difficult to identify and to apply relevant theories. Indeed, the term FLOSS includes groups with a wide diversity of participants and practices, with varying degrees of effectiveness, but the dimensions of this space are still unclear. Empirically, the study of FLOSS is blessed with an abundance of certain kinds of “trace” data, generated through the everyday actions of developers. However, these data are limited to particular aspects of FLOSS work and are often difficult to connect to constructs of theoretical interest. As a result, research on FLOSS is in critical need of careful conceptualization and theorizing, with particular attention to delineating the boundaries of theories in useful taxonomies of project types. The growing research literature on FLOSS has addressed a variety of questions. First, numerous explanations have been proposed for why individuals decide to contribute to projects without pay (e.g., Bessen 2002; Franck et al. 2002; Hann et al. 2002; Hertel et al. 2003; Markus et al. 2000). These authors have mentioned factors such as increasing the usefulness of the software (Hann et al. 2004), personal interest (Hann et al. 2004), ideological commitment, development of skills (Ljungberg 2000) with potential career impact (Hann et al. 2004) or enhancement of reputation (Markus et al. 2000). Further work in this area will need to distinguish between motivations for different kinds of projects and for developers with vastly different levels of commitment and contribution to a project and develop richer datasets of actual developer beliefs, intentions and behaviours. A methodological concern is developing valid samples of participants given the highly skewed distributions of activity. Second, researchers have investigated the processes of FLOSS development (e.g., Raymond 1998; Stewart et al. 2002). Many of these studies have been done at the project level, e.g., using available data about project-level measures to predict success. These studies are often limited by the available data, which may only weakly reflect theoretical constructs of interest. A few studies have been done at the level of individual developers, though many of the same concerns apply. For example, co-membership in projects can be viewed as a social network (e.g., Méndez-Durón et al. 2009), but strong theory is needed to interpret the network. On the other hand, since data are available longitudinally, there is an opportunity to perform stronger tests of theory (e.g, Subramaniam et al. 2009). Fewer studies have grappled with the details of work practices within projects, in part because data about these practices are more difficult to identify, collect and analyze. Mainly Logs of email and other kinds of linguistic interactions are generally available, but are quite time consuming to analyze. As well, such studies reveal only the public face of developers’ actions, leaving their private work hidden. Still, detailed studies of FLOSS practices could be quite revealing for understanding this form of distributed work. Third, researchers have examined the implications of FLOSS from economic and policy perspectives. For example, some authors have examined the implications of free software for commercial software companies or the implications of intellectual property laws for FLOSS (e.g., Di Bona et al. 1999; Kogut et al. 2001; Lerner et al. 2001). Lamastra (2009) found that FLOSS solutions developed by a sample of Italian companies were more innovative than the non-FLOSS solutions. Overall though, the nature and implications of participation of firms in FLOSS development are still open topics for research. Finally, a few authors have examined the use of FLOSS and its implementation in organizations. For example, Fitzgerald et al. (2003) examined the broad implementation of FLOSS in an Irish hospital. Implementation studies seem like a particularly promising area for information systems researchers, though such studies face a challenge to explicitly theorize about the relationship between the distinctive properties of FLOSS and the processes of implementation and use. Example topics for the special issue: The research reviewed above, while extensive, is still just a starting point for understanding the phenomenon of FLOSS development and use. Papers are invited for the special issue on any topic related to FLOSS development and use. Papers should be theory-driven or theory-building, with clear implications for further research and practice. Example topics include: Social science: Understanding organizational and psychological issues in FLOSS • Diversity and international participation in FLOSS projects • Learning, knowledge sharing, collaboration, control or conflict in FLOSS projects • Dynamics of FLOSS project communities, building and sustaining • FLOSS historical foundations • FLOSS and social networks • FLOSS and social inclusion • Economic analysis of FLOSS • Knowledge management, e-learning and FLOSS FLOSS systems development: • FLOSS and distributed development • Lessons from FLOSS for conventional development • Open sourcing vs. offshoring of development • FLOSS and standards • Mining and analyzing FLOSS project repositories • Documentation of FLOSS projects Emerging perspectives: Lessons from FLOSS applied to other fields • Diffusion and adoption of FLOSS innovations • FLOSS and alternative intellectual property regimes • FLOSS, Open Science and "Open Knowledge" • Licensing, intellectual property and other legal issues in FLOSS • FLOSS and innovation • Economics of FLOSS Studies of FLOSS deployment: Current studies and future issues • Case studies of FLOSS deployment, migration models, success and failure • FLOSS in the public sector (e.g., government, education, health care) • FLOSS in vertical domains and the 'secondary' software sector (e.g., automotive, telecommunications, medical devices) • FLOSS-compatible IT governance architectures • FLOSS applications catalog (functionality, evaluation, platforms, support providers, training needs) • FLOSS education and training • FLOSS, e-government and transformational government • FLOSS business models and strategies We particularly hope to receive papers that cut across these dimensions and use the phenomenon of FLOSS to theorize about the evolving nature of technology-supported distributed work.

The workshop will offer Ph.D. students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in a constructive and international atmosphere. The workshop will be accompanied by prominent professors and researchers in the field of database technology and theory. These accompanying professors will participate actively and contribute to the discussions. The workshop is co-located with and will take place immediately before the EDBT/ICDT 2010 joint conference in Lausanne, Switzerland. The workshop language is English. ---Topics of Interest--- As for the EDBT/ICDT conferences series, all topics from the field of database technology and theory are of interest for the Ph.D. Workshop including the transfer of database technologies, algorithms and theories to new problem domains (e.g. life sciences). These topics include (but are not limited to): Active Databases; Advanced Query Processing and Optimization; Ambient-aware Database Applications; Approximate Queries; Authorization and Security; Autonomic Databases; Biological Databases and Bioinformatics; Component-based Information Systems; Constraint and Rule Management; Data Integration Methods; Data Management in Computer Games; Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery; Data Models and Database Design; Data Warehousing and OLAP; Database Applications and Experiences; Database Performance and Benchmarks; E-Commerce, Workflow, and Databases; Federated Databases, Middleware, and Interoperability; Knowledge Management Systems; Geographic Information Systems; Imprecise and Uncertain Information; Indexing, Access Methods, Data Structures; Information Integration Methods; IT-Infrastructure Management and Enterprise Modeling; Legacy Databases; Logic and Databases; Medical Databases and Data Management; Mobile Computing and Databases; Multimedia Databases; Object-Relational Database Systems; Parallel and Distributed Databases; Peer-to-Peer and Networked Databases; Privacy Techniques for Databases; Query Languages and User Interfaces; Real-Time Database Systems; Replication, Caching, Materialized Views; Repository Systems and Model Management; Scientific and Statistical Databases; Self-healing Databases; Semantic Web Databases and Ontologies; Semi-structured Data, Metadata, and XML; Spatial and Temporal Databases; Stream Processing, Continuous Queries, and Sensor Databases; Text Storage and Retrieval; Transactions and Recovery; Trustworthy Databases; World-Wide Web and Databases ---Submission--- Papers describing doctoral work should be submitted in PDF or PostScript format before 24.00 CET (Central European Time) on October 29th, 2009. The paper length must not exceed 6 pages (including all parts!). The paper has to be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings Template (please use A4 as paper size NOT letter). Workshop and paper language is English. In contrast to regular conference papers, submissions should address specifically doctoral work! Therefore, the following elements are recommended: - A clear formulation of the research question. - An identification of the significant problems in the field of research. - An outline of the current knowledge of the problem domain, as well as the state of existing solutions. - A presentation of any preliminary ideas, the proposed approach and the results achieved so far. - A sketch of the applied research methodology. - A description of the Ph.D. project's contribution to the problem solution. - A discussion of how the suggested solution is different, new, or better as compared to existing approaches to the problem. Please note, that similar to a Ph.D. thesis, only a single author is allowed per submission to the Ph.D. workshop. If several Ph.D. students, usually working together as a team, want to submit, every team member has to submit individually. The Ph.D. advisor is not stated as co-author. The intention of this workshop is to support and inspire Ph.D. students during their ongoing research efforts. Therefore, it is necessary that authors will have neither achieved their Ph.D. degree nor officially submitted their thesis before the Ph.D. workshop (March 22, 2010). To enforce this rule we require authors to disclose their expected graduation date and their advisor's name when submitting. Ph.D. students that have already published significant parts of their work at some other major conference (e.g. SIGMOD, VLDB, ER, ICDE, etc.) are asked to step back and offer other Ph.D. students the opportunity to discuss their research topics. Accepted submissions will be published in the workshop proceedings. Furthermore, we plan to publish post-workshop proceedings of selected and revised submissions in the ACM Digital Library, as we did in the last years. Once again, we plan to award a prize for the best submission. Participants should register for the EDBT/ICDT conference itself at student rate. ---Program Committee--- To be announced soon. ---Contact Addresses--- Workshop Chair: Sascha Mueller (sascha.mueller.at.hs-ansbach.de) Co-Chair: Bernhard Volz (bernhard.volz.at.uni-bayreuth.de) Local Organization: N.N. ---Important Dates--- Deadline for submission: October 29, 2009 Notification to authors: December 08, 2009 Camera ready version: January 10, 2010 Ph.D. Workshop: March 22, 2010 ---oo-oo--- -- Mailing-Liste: WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: WI-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: http://www.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/mailman/listinfo/wi

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [isworld] CFP: KM&EL Special Issue on E-Health: Accessing Knowledge for Global Health Datum: Wed, 2 Sep 2009 09:59:55 -0400 Von: Maggie Minhong Wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> Antwort an: Maggie Minhong Wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> An: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <isworld(a)lyris.isworld.org> ========================= Call for Papers Knowledge Management & E-Learning: An International Journal (KM&EL) Special Issue on "E-Health: Accessing Knowledge for Global Health" == Guest Editor Patricia A. Abbott, PhD, RN Director, Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, PAHO/WHO Collaborating Center for Knowledge Management; Johns Hopkins Schools of Medicine and Nursing Baltimore, MD USA This special issue of the KM&EL international journal is dedicated to coverage of knowledge management and information dissemination for health in underserved areas. Numerous studies have demonstrated the high cost, in both financial and humanistic terms, of a lack of access to current healthcare knowledge. Many international settings are using textbooks that are seriously outdated, and practicing in ways that have been proven to be ineffective and/or dangerous. At the same time, we are seeing an explosion of information and communication technologies (ICT) that are reaching even the most remote corners of the globe. As these two trends collide, we are seeing tremendous innovation and application of KM techniques and ICT utilization to "reach and teach" in remote communities around the world. Indeed, Deaton (2004) states that "The health and life expectancy of the vast majority of mankind, whether they live in rich or poor countries, depends on ideas, techniques, and therapies developed elsewhere, so that it is the spread of knowledge that is the fundamental determinant of population health." This issue is designed to elicit both theoretical and applied papers that describe efforts to reduce international asymmetries of health information by increasing access to health knowledge bases via ICT. We are interested in theoretical papers that posit the promise and possibilities global e-health, and applied research papers that provide results of knowledge access, knowledge management, and knowledge dissemination for international health. We are particularly interested in papers in this space that focus upon application in low resource areas and/or with the medically underserved. Our goal is to stimulate interest in the issues across academia, practice, industry, research and policy. We welcome focused papers from all sectors. == The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Knowledge management in ICT-enabled, yet low resourced areas * Practical usage/application of ICT for evidence based practice in global e-health * E-health via ICT - Lessons Learned * M-health via cellular telephony and other mechanisms - New innovations for distributing health knowledge and best practices via mobile technologies * Managing and developing knowledge from underserved areas; what can communities teach us? * Producing culturally sensitive, feasible, and distributable best practices for ICT-enabled delivery * Socio-cultural aspects of ICT enabled e-health * Infrastructure challenges in global e-health in the e-health/m-health domain * New developments, trends and approaches. == IMPORTANT DATES Submission due: 15th January, 2010 Notification of acceptance: 15th March, 2010 Publication schedule: Jun 2010 (Vol.2, No.2) == SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Papers must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A standard double-blind review process will be used for selecting papers to be published in this special issue. Authors should follow the instructions outlined in the KM&EL Website (see http://www.kmel-journal.org/ojs/index.php/online-publication/about/submissi…) Electronic submission by email to Guest Editor is required.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Papers ECCA 2010 Datum: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 09:37:20 +0200 Von: Stefan Sackmann <sackmann(a)iig.uni-freiburg.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> [Our apologies if you receive duplicates of this posting] + + + Call for Papers + + + First Workshop on Economics of Compliance Control and Automation (ECCA 2010) Submission Deadline: October, 15th 2009 To be held in conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security (ARES 2010) http://www.ares-conference.eu. February 15th - 18th, 2010 Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Cracow College, Krakow, Poland Achieving compliance to an ever growing number of regulatory requirements, such as reporting practices and treatment of personal information, poses a grand challenge to enterprises of all sizes. Such requirements stipulate the reliable deployment of a number of accountable activities which must be periodically validated by means of third-party audits. To conduct adequate validation in a timely, cost-effective and reliable manner, enterprises are advancing the automation of business process and the corresponding controls. Controls subsume organizational measures and security mechanisms for enforcing regulatory laws and detecting regulation deviations, opening up the chance to react timely. However, deploying such controls is a challenging task yet not completely understood: Unexpected interactions between controls and business processes might arise, leading to inconsistencies, compliance violations and conflicts with the operative goals of business processes and, thereby, opening up risks. Also, a too restrictive, risk-averse enforcement of regulations is not optimal with regard to the operational use of upcoming technologies, such as service-oriented architectures or cloud computing, since it may hinder the harvesting of their full potential. Addressing these issues is of primary relevance and requires well-founded, cross-disciplinary approaches to reason about and bridge the technical and economical perspectives of the deployment of controls. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on innovative methods for managing compliance, risk and security. The focus of the workshop is primarily on the integration of economical and technical research, yet it encourages papers with a cross-disciplinary character, encompassing for instance legal and sociological aspects, as well as papers more purely focused on information technology. Submission topics include, but are not limited to: . Process-oriented risk management . Security issues on workflows . Process reconstruction . Accountability and liability . Policy enforcement . Usage control . Audit strategies . Secure logging mechanisms . Monitoring techniques . Implementation experiences Important dates . Submission Deadline: October, 15th 2009 . Author Notification: November, 01st 2009 . Proceedings Version: November, 14th 2009 . Conference/Workshop: February, 15th - 18th 2010 All accepted papers will be published as ISBN proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Special Issue on Service Oriented Applications and Integration for e-Commerce Datum: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:05:04 -0400 (CLT) Von: eCommerce List <eCommerce_List(a)noresponse.cl> An: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at, neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Call for Papers Special Issue on Service Oriented Applications and Integration for e-Commerce <http://www.jtaer.com/documentos/CFP_service_oriented_applications_and_integ…> Guest Editors: Yinsheng Li (Fudan University, China); Wei-Tek Tsai (Arizona State University, USA); Yueting Chai (Tsinghua University, China) Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm that exploits both web services and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) as fundamental elements for developing software systems. This paradigm changes the way software systems are designed, architected, delivered and consumed. With the availability of open standards, to overcome cross-platform barriers, and facilities to support service construction, SOA and Web services are being adopted by industries to make business services perform more efficiently and effectively. They contribute to the shaping of the processe s of business mod eling, solution creation, service delivery, and software architecture design, development and deployment. However, the applications and methods of SOA have not been fully exploited. The Special issue on Service Oriented Applications and Integration for e-Commerce (SOAIEC) will be devoted to the integration and collaboration technologies and best practices on SOA. The mission is to bridge the gap between business and information technology using service-oriented paradigms, technologies and approaches. The topics will include: � Architectures and frameworks for SOA � Service or service-oriented system modeling � Service-oriented integration methods and technologies � Service-oriented collaboration models and techniques � Engineering platforms or tools for SOA � Delivery or management platforms or tools for SOA � Security, QoS, Trust with SOC or SOA � Best practices or case study for SOA � Techniques and tools for SAAS (Software As a Service). Submission: Authors are invited to submit original research contributions in the aforementioned areas. Manuscripts should conform to the journal format (see http://www.jtaer.com/). All submissions will be reviewed according to the journal peer-review policy. Accepted articles will be published in the special issue on Service Oriented Applications and Integration for e-Commerce of the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (to appear in December 2010). Please suggest title and abstract and submit a full manuscript with respect to the deadlines given below to: liys(a)fudan.edu.cn and/or wtsai(a)asu.edu, chaiyt(a)tsinghua.edu.cn. Important Dates: Abstract submission: March 15, 2010 Full manuscript submission: April 15, 2010 Author notification: July 15, 2010 Camera ready version: September 15, 2010 Publication: December 15, 2010 -- Univ.Prof. Dr. Gustaf Neumann Institute of Information Systems and New Media WU Vienna Augasse 2-6, A-1090 Vienna, AUSTRIA
