Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP NITIM PhD Consortium "ICT & governance in network organisations", Milan (Italy), April 19-21, 2010
by Gustaf Neumann 30 Jan '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP NITIM PhD Consortium "ICT & governance in network organisations", Milan (Italy), April 19-21, 2010 Datum: Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:08:03 +0100 Von: Prof. Dr. Stefan Klein <klein(a)wi.uni-muenster.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> NITIM Ph.D. Network Doctoral Consortium "ICT& governance in network organisations" Milan (Italy), April 19-21, 2010 facilitated by CEMS - Community of European Management Schools (www.CEMS.org) VE-Forum - (www.VE-Forum.org) Call for Submissions Overview The doctoral consortium on "ICT& governance in network organisations" aims to bring together PhD candidates and faculty, in order to facilitate focused and in-depth discussions. The consortium will encompass the following areas: . The relationship between ICT, innovation and governance; . innovation and governance: can they coexist? . ICT enabled networks and governance dilemmas; . ICT challenges to governance principles and structures; . ICT governance: management fashion or need? www.NITIM.eu is the PhD network on Networks, Information Technology and Innovation Management. The consortium meets regularly at one of the participating universities and is meant to facilitate transdisciplinary debate at the intersection of disciplines like information systems, (innovation) management, engineering, or sociology. It puts particular emphasis on theoretically informed empirical research. The Milan meeting will focus on ICT& governance and Innovation. Governance results from complexity and implies the definition of rules, processes and procedures to manage that complexity. Innovation on the other hand requires agility and flexibility including the freedom to experiment, to explore directions and elaborate on experience. The emerging developments of open innovation and user-driven innovation adds further dimensions of governance complexity from the involvement of stakeholders outside the firm in the network. Can the two concepts co-exist, especially in networks where governance is intrinsically difficult? Target group and eligibility Submissions to the PhD network are invited from PhD candidates, whose research interests lie within the areas listed above and who intend repeated participation throughout their Ph.D. research process PhD candidates interested in participating for the first time should have developed a proposal for their research, detailing a problem statement, research question and methodology. They should, however, not be so close to completion of their thesis that they can no longer benefit from the input at the consortium (typically 6 months). With the submission of the proposal a supporting letter from a faculty member is expected (either the Supervisor or the Director of the PhD programme). Organisation The core of the programme will be centred on the critical and constructive discussion of the PhD candidates' research proposals or intermediate versions. In particular, research design (i.e. the linkage between an identified problem area, a research question and the appropriate methodology) will be discussed. In order to facilitate in-depth discussions of candidates' research, and to provide some additional guidance, the overall number of participants will be limited to 25. The consortium is also meant to provide additional input, such as: . talks by invited speakers about ongoing research and/or methodological issues (e.g. different research traditions in innovation management, IS and neighbouring disciplines); . discussions about the (changing) landscape of research and higher education in Europe (at the EU level and at national levels); . open fora about practical considerations (publishing, job market, etc.) In addition to providing guidance and feedback to the PhD candidates outside the student-supervisor relationship, attendees will have an opportunity for benchmarking their progress (where do I stand vis-à-vis my peers?) and building networks with peers. Repeated participation for establishing long standing networks is encouraged. PhD candidates (and faculty) are expected to stay for the entire consortium in order to benefit from the discussions and interventions as they unfold over the duration of the event. The consortium typically will count for 3 ECTS. Location and costs The consortium will be held close to Milan, Italy, which is accessible by air from most major European cities. The sessions will be organized at Hotel Relais sul Lago (http://www.relaissullago.it/en/index.php). It is expected the PhD candidates will pay their own travel, full board accommodation and a registration fee of 100 Euro. The registration fee includes support materials, readings and dinner on Sunday. Submission Submissions by PhD candidates are sought, which should include: . A research proposal (4000-5000 words): motivation, research question, relevant literature, research design/ methodology, expected outcomes; . A statement by the Supervisor or PhD programme Director about the status of the PhD candidate, and a recommendation that he/she will benefit from the consortium. The deadline for submissions is February 16th, 2010. Please send the submission to: paola.bielli(a)unibocconi.it Consortium committee Co-chairs Paola Bielli, Bocconi University, Milan, Italy Nathalie Mitev, London School of Economics Faculty Robert B.

Therefore, the development and dissemination of techniques and technologies that allow virtualized, remote and shared access to industrial or scientific instruments are essential for the progress of society. The possibility of using scientific or industrial equipment independently of their physical location helps towards equality of opportunity for and unification of communities, and subsequently provides new momentum for industry, science, and business. The current edition of the Workshop goes beyond exploitation of remote instrumentation on the Grid. First of all, it focuses on new Remote Instrumentation (RI) aspects related to middleware architecture, high-speed networking, wireless Grid for acquisition devices and sensor networks, QoS provisioning for real-time control, measurement instrumentation and methodology. Additionally, it will provide knowledge about automation of mechanisms oriented to accompanying processes that are usually performed by a human. Another important point of this workshop is focusing on the future trends concerning RI systems’ development and actions related to standardization of remote instrumentation mechanisms. TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Contributions are solicited on all advanced research issues concerning the theme of the Workshop, and particularly in (but not limited to) the following topics: Remote instrumentation: * Remote instrumentation services * Virtual and remote laboratories * Virtualization technologies in remote instrumentation * Security issues for the remote control of devices * Architectures and use cases involving remote control of devices * Grid middleware extensions for remote control of instruments and devices * Interoperability of information systems for the remote control of devices * Building of communities around remote control of devices * Distributed synchronization and calibration * Present and future trends in RIS development * Standards and standardization processes for RIS systems Tele-working environments and e-learning: * Tele-working environments and tele-presence * Tele-services, tele-diagnosis and tele-robotics * Tele-communities and their social impact * Collaborative work in virtual engineering environments * Mixed-Reality environments for education and training * Demands in education and training, e-learning, b-learning, m-learning and ODL * Innovative organizational and educational concepts for remote engineering Distributed data management: * Management of large scientific data sets * Networking solutions in support of scientific data transport * Distributed data acquisition in sensor networks * Data management in Wireless Sensor Networks * Metadata and advanced information systems for instruments and sensors Grid integration of experimental and computational resources: * Workflow management for large-scale experiments * Visualization techniques * Grid integration of experimental and computational processes * Human computer interfaces, usability, reusability, accessibility * Deployment of large scale applications for online engineering * Supporting interactive applications in the grid environment PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINE =========================== The Workshop will be structured in technical sessions, some of which will be organized by leading researchers in the field, and will accommodate both invited and regular papers, selected on an open-call basis. INGRID 2010 allows also additional possibilities to be actively engaged in the conference program: 1) Special sessions – proposals for special sessions are welcome.Please provide the session description (1-1.5 page) including a draft session program. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee. 2) Extended abstracts – in alternative to full paper submission authors can provide an extended abstract (1-2 pages). The abstracts positively approved give a chance to make a presentation at the conference. A subsequent full paper will be reviewed independently, with a chance to add the paper to the post-workshop proceedings.

In the 90’s this awareness culminated in an increased focus on Knowledge Management from both a practitioner and academic perspective. Knowledge Management has now become an established discipline considering the conferences and articles that include Knowledge Management concepts and themes that permeate and contribute to other fields such as content management, competence management, innovation, business intelligence, and e-learning. Over the last few years Knowledge Management has developed which is evident from new areas that enrich and broaden the discipline such as governance, outsourcing, sustainable innovation, business intelligence, social networks and wiki’s. In this track we welcome applied as well as theoretical research that deals with the more traditional topics in the discipline as well as the more recent ones. The topics of interest for this track therefore include but are not limited to: • Knowledge strategy and governance • Measurement of knowledge management processes and outcomes • Knowledge management systems and technologies • Development and change of knowledge management culture • Organizing and embedding the KM function in organizations • Inter-organizational knowledge sharing • Sustainability of communities and networks of practice • Collaboration in knowledge creation • Knowledge Network Analysis: Application of SNA in KM • Knowledge sharing and learning through social media • Knowledge management of global work • Knowledge management systems • Knowledge management for sustainable innovation • Knowledge and expert seeking behavior • Recognition and rating of expertise • Knowledge discovery and business intelligence • (Innovative) knowledge management case studies Important dates Full Paper Submission: 1st April 2010 Accept/Reject Notification: 1st June 2010 Camera Ready Copy: 1st July 2010 Main Conference: 18th-20th October 2010 Submission of Papers Submissions to IIMA 2010 must not already have been published in a journal, presented at another conference, or be currently under consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere.

Fwd: [WI] CFP AMCIS 2010 mini-track 'Business Service Management'

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP AMCIS 2010 mini-track 'Business Service Management' Datum: Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:43:31 +0100 Von: Tilo Böhmann <boehmann(a)iss-hamburg.de> An: <WI(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de>, <wkwi(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de> Apologies for cross-postings. --------------- Call for Papers for the Mini Track Business Service Management AMCIS - Americas Conference on Information Systems IT Services Track Lima, Peru, August 12-15, 2010 http://www.amcis2010.org/ Purpose IT Service Management has become an accepted good practice for internal and external service providers. The associated management disciplines focus providers on agreeing operational and financial performance standards with their customers and deliver services that reliably meet these objectives. While the focus on operational performance was clearly helpful in the initial stages of IT service management and process outsourcing/offshoring, IT services now have the potential to become relevant strategic assets and impact entire business models. This requires a fresh perspective on IT service management from a strategic lens. In an environment where the differences between business and IT services blur, Business Service Management becomes crucial: the explicit management of these services as important business assets that are the focal points for the cost-effective creation of customer value and innovation in organizations. Business Service Management should leverage, integrate and complement the different Service Management approaches in the different functional areas, such as Marketing, Operations, and IT. We envision Business Service Management as an emerging discipline that deals with the service orientation of the organization and the provisioning and use of specific business services. The term business service describes a transformational capability that is offered to and consumed by external or internal customers for their benefit. The prefix ?business¹ stresses that such a service has a customer value and needs to be managed as a corporate asset. Business Service Management is dedicated to the overarching and potentially enterprise-wide development of a service management capability. The amalgamation of business and IT service management is evident in various recent developments. IT service management is increasingly evaluated against its contribution to the alignment of IT services to business strategy and business needs. Moreover, with increasing IT components and networking of product, a firms IT services move beyond internal service providing into becoming components of products and services and thus potential offerings to customers. Finally, the vision of business networks based on ecosystems of services in which entire business processes are composed out of available services now challenges firms now on how to participate and leverage in the opportunities of these technology-enabled forms of service-dominant value creation. Suggested Topics This mini-track aims at accelerating high quality research in this fast developing domain and invites conceptual and empirical papers on completed research as well as research-in-progress papers. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following: - New business models for IT services, e.g. for service aggregation and brokerage - Service governance - Service portfolio management / service product management - Service innovation, new service development for IT services - Service business alignment / Aligning Business and IT Service Management - Business impact of IT service management - Implementing service management - Services supply chain management - Service lifecycle management - IT service management and cloud computing - Inter-organizational service management - Management of IT-enabled service ecosystems - Embedding of IT services in business products and services - Implications of value co-creation for IT-based services - IT services from a service(-dominant) logic and the role of IT services in IT-enabled value co-creation Important Dates: - March 1, 2010: Deadline for Paper Submission - April 12, 2010: Notification of Paper Acceptance - April 26, 2010: Camera Ready Copy Due Mini-track chairs Tilo Boehmann ISS International Business School of Service Management Hamburg, Germany boehmann(a)iss-hamburg.de Bo Edvardsson Karlstad University, Service Research Center (CTF) Karlstad, Sweden Bo.edvardsson(a)kau.se Axel Korthaus Queensland University of Technology Brisbane, Australia axel.korthaus(a)qut.edu.au Prof. Dr. Tilo Böhmann ISS - International Business School of Service Management Hamburg Research Group Service Management Hans-Henny-Jahnn-Weg 9 22085 Hamburg (Germany) T: +49 (40) 53 69 91 - 50 F: +49 (40) 53 69 91 - 66 @: boehmann(a)iss-hamburg.de W: http://www.iss-hamburg.de -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: The International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (submission deadline: Feb 10, 2010) Datum: Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:41:05 +1100 Von: Agustinus Borgy Waluyo <abwaluyo(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this cfp. We appreciate your help to forward this message to the interested colleagues. ************************************************************************************* C A LL F O R P A P E R S The International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2010), 26-28 July, 2010, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada Conference Website: http://www.acadiau.ca/ant10/home.php ************************************************************************************* IMPORTANT DATES ---------------- • Full Paper Submission (EXTENDED): February 10, 2010 • Acceptance Notification: March 20, 2010 • Camera-Ready Submission: May 01, 2010 • Conference Days: July 26-28, 2010 The International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and Technologies (ANT-2010) is a leading international conference which provides an international forum for researchers, developers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to address research challenges and to present and discuss research ideas, developments and experiences related to the ambient systems infrastructure, models, and technologies. The general aim of ambient systems is to provide an environment wherein computing devices exist anywhere and everywhere. In such systems mobile and embedded computing devices form ad hoc collaboration using different communication networks (e.g., wireless networks, RFID, etc) in order to share and exchange information and provide services. Ambient systems pose new research challenges due to the open and unreliable nature of the environment and the complexity and heterogeneity of the computing devices and the underlying communication networks. These characteristics challenge traditional techniques and demand new ways of approaching the problems related to the ambient systems. TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit papers to the following research tracks. Details on topics of each track are available at the conference website. - Ambient-oriented Autonomic Networks and Communications - Ambient Systems Software Engineering - Ambient Systems Security and Privacy - Distributed Ambient Artificial Intelligence - Emerging Ambient Networking, Tracking and Sensing Technologies - Multimodal Interfaces for Ambient Systems - Service Oriented Computing for Ambient Systems& Applications - Smart Environments and Applications in Ambient Systems PUBLICATION ------------------- Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the proceedings of Communications in Computer and Information Science series, Springer.
