Many frameworks, measurement approaches and theoretical concepts have been developed and proposed. At the same time, industry and researchers have provided us with many case studies and best practice. DIQ has been included as topic in many conferences; however, in order to reflect the foremost achievements in DIQ research, the research community needs to revisit and discuss not only the relevance but also the rigor in DIQ research. With this track, we aim to provide a platform for reflecting and validating current contributions in the domain and to discuss research approaches, research methods and research results of DIQ research. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on (re)validating current and prominent frameworks, approaches or concepts. With the focus of this Minitrack, the topic should aim to discuss research aspects of DIQ. Papers can include and discuss various research methods and research based on case studies, quantitative methods such as experimental and simulation but also empirical research to examine the existing models, methods, approaches and frameworks. Topics of interest ================== Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following list: * Validations of DIQ research * Revalidation of previous DIQ research and frameworks * Scope of DIQ research * DIQ research models * DIQ research methodologies and approaches * Result types of DIQ research * Stakeholders of DIQ research * Evaluation guidelines and criteria for DIQ research * Approaches and success factors of Collaborative Research (Industry& Academia) * Creativity and innovation in DIQ research * Supervising and managing DIQ research * Comparison with and relation to other research domains * Evaluation and improvement of DIQ research (methods and results) Paper submissions ================= The AMCIS2010 Paper Template can be found at http://www.amcis2010.org/home/documents/amcis2010_paper_template.doc After formatting the paper, please log into to the Manuscript Central Submission Site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010) and choose Minitrack of Validation and Research Methodology in Data and Information Quality for your submission.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2010 Minitrack on "Social philosophy, ethics and information technology” Datum: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:40:37 +0100 Von: Roman Brandtweiner <Roman.Brandtweiner(a)gmx.at> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Please distribute to colleagues and relevant lists. **************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS "Social philosophy, ethics and information technology” Minitrack at 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2010) August 12-15 2010, Lima, Peru, http://www.amcis2010.org/ This minitrack is part of the "Philosophical Perspectives in IS" track. **************************************************** Description: The intensive use of IS/IT all over the world and the extensive growth of the internet within the last decade has changed the life of the vast majority of the worlds population. The advantages of these new technologies have improved our lives significantly but despite of all these improvements disadvantages and dangers of the new information and communication technologies (ICTs) have risen. Therefore we want to look at these developments from a Social Philosophy perspective. Social Philosophy attempts to understand and explain the developments, changes, patterns, and tendencies of societies. As it is a wide field with many sub disciplines we want to draw special attention on ethics in conjunction with the use, application, and development of ICTs. Additionally we encourage submissions dealing with other aspects of social philosophy, e.g. applying thoughts of Weber, Durkheim, Adorno, Habermas, Beauvoir, Chomsky and other social theorists in the IS field. ICTs have had major effects on society, economy, and businesses not only in the fields of management, organization and leadership. The areas of moral and ethics have been severely influenced too. Observing the recent development of ICTs and the growing capability of storing huge amounts of personal data and business related data online has created new moral problems and has increased the risk of negative consequences of unethical use of information technology. Due to the enormous growth of internet usage and the increasing reliance of private persons and business on information systems in all aspects of social and economic life, the ethical and moral aspects of what is done with or to and what could be theoretically done with or to the available information becomes a major concern of society. The purpose of this Mini Track is to provide a forum for discussing ethical, philosophical, and social issues associated with the development and application of Information Systems and Communication Technology. We invite work-in-progress or completed research. Papers using theoretical approaches as well as empirical research (qualitative and quantitative) and case studies are welcome. The topics of this Mini Track include but are not limited to: •Contribution of Social Philosophy to the explanation of technology induced social and economic changes •Can “old” theories explain the new social patterns, developments, and tendencies of the 21st century? •Do the new technologies have any effects on gender issues? •Do the new technologies facilitate (positive and/or negative) discrimination of deprived groups in societies? •Internet crime and computer crime in general •Privacy issues •Ethical and social aspects of the IT induced changes in employer-employee relationships (e.g. tension between an employee’s right to privacy and an employer’s need for information to run the business) •Ethical and social aspects of ownership of knowledge and information •Ethical and social aspects of intellectual property rights •Ethical and social aspects of pricing of information, knowledge and digital goods (Are information and knowledge public goods?) •Ethics for IS/IT and Internet professionals •Ethics for IS/IT and Internet users •Can Social Philosophy serve as (meta)theoretical basis of IS design and software development? •Can Social Philosophy explain the standing of Information Systems as an academic discipline within the academic community and the society in general? •Analyzing Information Systems as an academic discipline from the perspective of Social Philosophy Papers will be peer-reviewed using a double-blind system and will be considered for Best Paper Awards.

Workshop Theme and Goals --------------------------- Since the advent of business process reengineering in the 1990s, modeling and optimization of business processes has become a critical factor in business as well as in non-profit and government organizations. Today, with many forms of interorganizational cooperation in the form of e-business, outsourcing, and other kinds of value webs, business process management and coordination process management are crucial for the survival of organizations. As a result, information systems are required to manipulate not only data but also processes. Process-oriented information systems (POIS) are systems that can provide data support as well as process support to organizations. Examples are workflow management systems, ERP systems, and systems for cross-organizational coordination management. Some of the challenges facing POIS include requirements management, performance monitoring, service level agreements and governance. The 1st International Workshop on Empirical Research in Process-Oriented Information Systems (ER-POIS 2010) aims to provide a platform for exchanging empirical research results about POIS problems and solutions. The workshop takes an empirical perspective, which means that we will not solicit papers that propose solutions, new techniques or methods, but solicit papers with empirical research results about existing problems or implemented solutions, or about empirical validations of proposed solutions. We assume the solutions have been specified elsewhere, possibly in earlier papers. We encourage the use of any research method, ranging from experimental research to surveys, case studies and action research, provided that a discussion of the validity of the method and of the results obtained with the method is included in the paper. ------------------- II. Workshop Format ------------------- The workshop will comprise presentations of accepted papers and tool reports. Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee, and will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Papers should clearly establish their research contribution and shall particularly address the relation to transferring methods and technologies into practice. Accepted papers will appear in the joint CAiSE workshop proceedings which will be distributed in the electronic library CEUR http://ceur-ws.org (and on USB sticks at CAiSE). The proceedings will have an ISSN number and will be accessible for everyone on the CEUR website. The authors will keep the copyright of their papers. At least one author for each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper. ----------------------- III. Submitting a Paper ----------------------- Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed in the Topics section. Only papers in English will be accepted. Different paper types are distinguished. Length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages (there is no possibility to buy additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer than 6 pages. Papers should be submitted in the Springer LNCS format. Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (full paper | position paper | tool report). Papers should be submitted in PDF format electronically via the EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=erpois2010 ---------- IV.

OpenMP is now a major programming model for shared memory systems from multi-core machines to large scale servers. Recently, new ideas and challenges are proposed to extend OpenMP framework for adopting accelerators and also exploiting parallelism beyond loop levels. The workshop serves as a forum to present the latest research ideas and results related to this shared memory programming model. It also offers the opportunity to interact with OpenMP users, developers and the people working on the next release of the standard. The 2010 International Workshop on OpenMP (IWOMP 2010) will be held in the high-tech city of Tsukuba, Japan. The workshop IWOMP 2010 will be a three-day event. In the first day, tutorials are provided for focusing on topics of interest to current and prospective OpenMP developers, suitable for both beginners as well as those interested in learning of recent developments in the evolving OpenMP standard. The second and third day will consist of technical papers and panel session(s) during which research ideas and results will be presented and discussed. Technical Paper Submission and Publication We solicit submissions of unpublished technical papers detailing innovative, original research and development related to OpenMP. All topics related to OpenMP are of interest, including OpenMP applications in any domain (e.g., scientific computation, video games, computer graphics, multimedia, information retrieval, optimization, text processing, data mining, finance, signal and image processing and numerical solvers), OpenMP performance analysis and modeling, OpenMP performance and correctness tools and proposed OpenMP extensions. Advances in technologies, such as multi-core processors and accelerators (e.g., GPGPU, FPGA), the use of OpenMP in very large-scale parallel systems, and recent developments in OpenMP itself (e.g., tasking) present new opportunities and challenges for software and hardware developers. IWOMP 2010 solicits submissions that highlight OpenMP work on these fronts. As in previous years, IWOMP 2010 will publish formal proceedings of the accepted papers in Springer Verlag's LNCS series. Submitted papers for review should be limited to 12 pages. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to prepare a final paper of up to 15 pages. Relevant deadlines are provided under "Important Dates" in this CFP.

Deadline for Submissions: March 1, 2010. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) _http://www.amcis2010.org/home/_ August 12-15, 2010 Lima, Peru ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mini-track: Master Data Management: Strategies, Concepts and Cases Track: Data and Information Quality ------------------------------------------------------------------ MINI-TRACK DESCRIPTION Master data management is referred to as an application-independent function which describes and manages the business data resource in an organization. It ensures high quality of master data by providing guidelines for its management and it creates a common view on the data. Recently, master data management has received much attention from business. A major reason for this is the important role high-quality master data plays with regard to a number of business drivers. Among them are compliance to regulatory requirements, integrated customer management and the need of a “single source of the truth” for company-wide reporting purposes. Despite the relevance of master data quality, current efforts in practice leave much to be desired. Moreover, the topic has been discussed in the information systems (IS) research area to a marginal extent only so far. The proposed mini-track addresses this gap and aims at giving a forum for novel concepts and research work in the following areas: * Strategies for master data management * Master data centric business scenarios and use cases * Cost and benefit analysis for master data management * Application of valuation theories of master data management * Organizational concepts for master data management * Human factors in master data management * Master data governance * Master data compliance * Master data quality * Master data security and privacy aspects * Master data lifecycle management * Master data architectures including reference architectures and architecture patterns * Master data management deployment methods * Business metadata management * Standardization activities * Data modeling for master data * Master data and service-orientation * Software architectures * Patterns for data distribution and data synchronization * Case studies and applications * Industry specific aspects of master data management The mini-track welcomes innovative research papers from both the academic and the practitioners’ community. For more information see: _http://www.amcis2010.org/home/documents/tracks_minitracks/SIGHQIQ/Master%2… SUBMISSION GUIDELINES * All paper must be submitted through the online submission system (_http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010_). Mini-track chairs, track chairs, program chairs or conference chairs will not accept any submissions that are sent to them directly by email or any other means. * A paper must be submitted only to one mini-track.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP Special Issue of JCSCW: Knowledge Management in Action Datum: Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:12:01 +0100 Von: Volker Wulf <volker.wulf(a)fit.fraunhofer.de> An: Liste@fit.fraunhofer.de:Wirtschaftsinformatik <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN ACTION Special Issue of Journal on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (JCSCW) http://www.uni-siegen.de/fb5/wirtschaftsinformatik/cfp.html Guest Editors: - Mark Ackerman, University of Michigan - Carla Simone, University of Milano-Bicocca - Volker Wulf, University of Siegen and Fraunhofer FIT THEME: Organizations of different kinds, from structured companies up to social networks or virtual communities, are becoming increasingly aware of the need to collect, organize, mobilize, increase, in sum manage, expertise and knowledge which characterize their ability to stay alive, adapt and evolve in a turbulent context. Knowledge Management (KM) is a keyword under which different organizational and technological approaches to answer this need are referred to. From the beginning of the KM discourse, the CSCW community has taken a critical stance both in asking for applied research in the practices of real organizations and relating technological and organizational innovations. The Special Issue aims to collect papers reporting on ethnographically-based or field-based experiences that are confronted with real situations and highlight problems, requirements and technical solutions that are derived from those experiences by taking into account the following perspectives: - organizational strategies to enact and promote KM within organizations, and their relation with ICT technology - various kinds of knowledge, application domains, organizational structures, and their implication on KM - methods and approaches for the design of KM solutions - techniques and technologies for a sustainable KM (CSCW-based approaches, web-based approaches, etc.) - critical success factors for KM socio-technical solutions - evaluation of KM applications in real situations - lessons-learned in each phase of the KM application life-cycle, from conception up to continuous adaptation - critical comparison of technologies, field studies and strategies in KM - any other perspective contributing to a better understanding of KM in action Papers presenting original research must comply with standards specified at the IJCSCW site:http://www.editorialmanager.com/cosu/ where it is possible to upload them. Papers written in English should be sent by 30 April 2010. All submitted papers will be blind refereed by at least three reviewers. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance, originality of the work and reviewers' comments. Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection via e-mail by 30 June 2010. Camera-ready papers are due by 15 September. -- Mailing-Liste:wi@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator:wi-admin@aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration:https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] DSS 2010 - 15th IFIP WG 8.3 Int.Conference on DSS - Final extension Datum: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:25:16 -0000 Von: Adam, Frederic <FAdam(a)afis.ucc.ie> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> DSS 2010 new deadline: 30th January, 2010 Call for papers: http://dss2010.di.fc.ul.pt/images/9/90/CFP-DSS2010-PDF.pdf * We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP. * We appreciate you distribute this CFP among your colleagues and students Call for Papers DSS 2010 -- the 15th IFIP WG 8.3 International Conference on Decision Support Systems under the theme "Bridging the socio-technical gap in DSS - Challenges for the next decade" July 7-10, 2010, Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal http://dss2010.di.fc.ul.pt <http://dss2010.di.fc.ul.pt/> In recent years, bridging the socio-technical gap has been a challenge in many areas of research. The socio-technical gap is the great divide between the social aspects aimed to be supported and those that are actually supported, due in part to technical limitations and in part to the complexity of the contexts where decision support must be provided. In Decision Support Systems, this challenge has raised several important questions concerned with the account and encapsulation of social aspects of managerial decision making as well as with the representation of certain human cognitive aspects, such as intuition or insights within computational systems. The 2010 International Conference of the IFIP WG 8.3 will focus on the theme "Bridging the socio-technical gap in DSS - Challenges for the next decade". The IFIP TC8/Working Group 8.3 conferences present the latest innovations and achievements of academic communities on Decision Support Systems (DSS). These advances include theory, systems, computer aided methods, algorithms, techniques, applications and technologies supporting decision making. DSS 2010 is sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), the Faculty of Sciences at University of Lisbon, Operations Research Center-UL and FCT. Submissions from academics and practitioners are invited and showcases of real case studies will be especially welcomed. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. The acceptance of the contributions will be based on the originality of the work, the relevance for the conference theme and its overall quality. Suggested research topics include, but are not limited to: - Affect and emotion in Decision Support Systems, e.g. - From rationality to intuition in decision making - Decision making in high risk situations - Decision Models in the real-world, e.g. - Inclusion of ethical considerations in real-world decision models - Supporting complex decisions, e.g. urban planning and environmental policy - Supporting multiple perspectives and conflicting objectives - Executive Information Systems, e.g. - Value judgments in executive information systems - Understanding how to represent soft information for decision support - Communication and decision support in managerial groups - Negotiation Support Systems, e.g. - Cultural diversity in negotiation support systems - Problem specific design of NSS - Knowledge Management, e.g. - Organizational issues in knowledge management - People management as KM -- designing DSS to leverage human capital - Social software and networks in KM - Knowledge and Resource Discovery, e.g. - Knowledge and resource discovery in corporate decision making - Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing, e.g. - Role of context in business intelligence and data warehousing - Methods and tools to support the communication between developers and managers - Developing BI systems that educate as well as provide information - Group Support Systems, e.g. - Supporting creativity in self-directed groups - Distributed DM - Collaborative Decision Making, e.g. - Tradeoffs in collaborative decision making - Understanding the articulation of individual and group decision making / how are managers' contributions integrated into the corporate decision making - Socio-technical aspects for DM in Geographic Information Systems, for instance: - Privacy in geographic information systems - Socio behavioral dynamics of geographic information system - Rich language for Decision Support, e.g. - Methods and tools to support the communication between DSS developers and managers - Developing decision support systems that educate as well as provide information - Web 2.0 Systems in Decision Support, e.g. - Crowd sourcing decisions in Web 2.0 - Collective intelligence and Web 2.0 - Incorporating Complex Factors in Decision Support, e.g. - Including the value of intellectual capital - Framing the decision problem - Decision making for socio-technical systems - Understanding the role of context in decision making All accepted papers will be published in conference proceedings. Papers will be considered for publication as chapters of a book with the conference theme, published and distributed by IOSPress, in the FAIA series. Submitted manuscripts must be original contributions which have not been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Accepted papers will be published only if at least one of the authors is registered to attend the conference in due time.
