-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2010 CFP - Social Aspects of Social Networking minitrack Datum: Thu, 7 Jan 2010 12:15:27 -0000 Von: Laurence Brooks <Laurence.Brooks(a)brunel.ac.uk> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: mini-track title - Social Aspects of Social Networking Track: Social Issues in IS 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems 12-15 AUGUST 2010 Mini-track Chair(s): Laurence Brooks Email: Laurence.Brooks(a)brunel.ac.uk School of Information Systems Computing and Mathematics, Brunel University, UK Phone: +44 (0) 1895 266010 Melissa Cole Email: Melissa.Cole(a)brunel.ac.uk School of Information Systems Computing and Mathematics, Brunel University, UK Phone: +44 (0) 1895 266024 You are invited to submit a paper to the Socio-Technical Aspects of Information Systems Mini-Track, which is part of the Social Issues in IS track at AMCIS 2010. Description: Social Networking, as exemplified in the 'Web 2.0 concept' by online applications such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, LinkedIn, Bebo, Hi5, Friendster, Gather, 43 Things, etc., have been making headlines in the national newspapers (Lanchester, 2006), not only for their high profile acquisition by major media companies, but also for their ability to potentially create a whole new revenue stream, create a new exploitation route or even influence the outcome of the US presidential nomination race (Stelter, 2008). However, the interesting question is whether these are the future of the Internet (as the Web 2.0 badge implies), or merely the latest 'dot.com' bomb (as has also been implied in some parts of the media, eg. Wood, 2005). What is it about these systems that appear to have caught the current zeitgeist? Are they just another of the fleeting fancies that the media have hyped, or are there more substantial factors supporting the creation of these networks? Equally can the huge networks (such as MySpace and Facebook) really be sustained in the longer term, and how might they be appropriated by industry, for example the possible rise of Enterprise 2.0 and its implications for future forms of social networks. At the desktop end of the spectrum, versions of Windows Vista© have Windows Meeting Space, a social collaboration technology for small groups of users built-in, the online Microsoft Office Live Meeting enables collaboration from different locations, across corporate boundaries, and on different networks over the Internet, while Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 has 'Groove', a collaboration software program in it. Will these elements become ubiquitous and facilitate, constrain or alter the development and sustenance of business social networks. How are organisations coping with the tensions of collaboration versus gossip; privacy versus publication? How will these considerations affect the future form and direction of Internet research and development? How does our understanding of the past help us to understand what might happen in the future? While the technology is important, as without this the whole phenomena would not exist, the interesting and challenging element of social networking is what people do with it, ie. the social aspect. This track aims to bring together related articles (theoretical and empirical papers, including survey and case/field study research papers) that address the concept of social networking and related phenomena. Suggested topics: . Analysis of social networking patterns and trends . Business value and the strategic impact of social networks . Frameworks and models of best practice for developing/sustaining/integrating social networking systems . Enterprise 2.0 business models and case studies . Issues of privacy and trust; information credibility . Management of the 'chatter' of multiple social networking channels (ie. the new 'information overload') . Mobile social networking . New and alternative approaches to social networking systems . Positivist, interpretivist and critical approaches to social networking . User adoption and diffusion of social networks Papers Due: 26 February 2010 (11:59 PM PST)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: ITM Special issue on “Theoretical and Methodological Advances for Research on the Adoption and Diffusion of New ITs and Technological Innovations” Datum: Wed, 6 Jan 2010 21:13:59 -0500 Von: Angsana T. <angsana.t(a)gmail.com> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org ****** Paper submission deadline: January 15, 2010 ****** *Call for Papers: /Information Technology and Management/* *S**pecial Issue on “Theoretical and Methodological Advances for Research on the Adoption and Diffusion of New ITs and Technological Innovations”* *_____________________________________________________________________________________* *Guest Editors*** *Ajit Kambil*, Deloitte Research; akambil(a)mac.com <mailto:akambil@mac.com> * **Robert J. Kauffman*, Arizona State University; rkauffman(a)asu.edu <mailto:rkauffman@asu.edu> * **Angsana A. Techatassanasoontorn*, Pennsylvania State University; angsanat(a)ist.psu.edu <mailto:angsanat@ist.psu.edu> *Motivation* There is a growing recognition that adoption and extensive diffusion of new ITs and technological innovations are critical for individuals to have meaningful engagements in an information society. Similarly important are new IT and technology innovations that help organizations to survive and thrive in the highly competitive environment of the global economy. Another frontier for impact is at the country level for sustainable social and economic development. Some examples include the emergence of new technologies, such as mobile and Internet-based telephony, open software systems, infrastructure and application support for digital social networks, digital entertainment services on the Internet, and more intelligent hardware-based data storage systems. Their incorporation into innovative products and services has had dramatic benefits at all these levels. The adoption and diffusion of new technologies and innovations research literature is voluminous and has identified a number of factors associated with adoption and diffusion across multiple levels. For instance, the technology acceptance model offers a parsimonious theory to explain individual acceptance of a new innovation. Similarly, cumulative research at the organizational and interorganizational levels has been able to explain innovation-related needs and abilities that are associated with different adoption behaviors. However, as a number of leading senior scholars and industry observers have expressed, there still are many opportunities for theory development in the adoption and diffusion of new innovations area. For example, Lucas et al. (2007) stated that much research up to the present has emphasized individual adoption and acceptance of innovations. They called for a broader umbrella of research that offers rich theorizing for innovations with technology by accounting for the relevant technological, institutional, and historical contexts. Fichman (2004) called for research to move beyond the dominant paradigm of establishing the relationships between the independent variables of innovator profiles, and the dependent variables of innovation quantity. Some of the most promising opportunities for theory development involve such topics as contagion effects, management fashion, innovation mindfulness, technology ecosystems and innovation life cycles, innovation configurations, technology destinies, the evolution of standards organizations, and quality-led innovation. Moreover, there are many new methods that can address research questions and offer new approaches for theory development. For example, survival analysis from public health and spatial econometrics from geographical information systems offer new ways to support the development of next-stage theoretical perspectives on the adoption and diffusion process for different technological innovations. The same can be said for data mining and other advanced statistical methods that blend techniques from computer science to emphasize the recognition of patterns and regime shifts and changes. A final aspect of the motivation for this special issue is to engage industry researchers, thought leaders, and practice innovators, who have special organizational, business, government and other context reasons for developing new approaches to understanding how technologies and innovations diffuse. Some recent examples of specific interest include the diffusion of social networking technologies, outsourcing and new approaches to IT services, and mobile and nomadic computing. Our objective of this special issue is to publish managerially interesting, rigorous, forward-looking, and innovative research that advances theoretical and methodological knowledge regarding the adoption and diffusion of new technologies and innovations. Some prospective topics may include but are not limited to the following: Advertising-related technology innovations Banking and financial services systems Blogs and social networking technologies Business intelligence & analytics Business process modeling innovations Digital media & entertainment innovations Digital music & artistic transmutations Electronic billing systems Electronic voting & e-government systems Financial market & trading technologies Financial risk management systems Healthcare systems and technologies High-definition TV systems & standards Information goods & digital products Information privacy & digital security ITs for economic & social development Location-based systems & services Management fashion developments Market operations & exchange solutions Mobile telecommunication systems Nomadic computing service innovations Online auctions and market mechanisms Online instruction & digital learning aids Open software and systems innovations Service-oriented systems & technologies Statistical methods for IT adoption study Technology ecosystem forecasting tools Technological innovation-led performance Technology stack, infrastructure changes Vendor-managed inventory, supply chain Vertical information systems standards Yield management and revenue control *Important Dates* Paper submission deadline: January 15, 2010 First review by: April 15, 2010 First revision by: July 15, 2010 Additional reviews/revisions: July 15, 2010 to December 1, 2010 Notification of acceptance: As early as possible, but not later than January 31, 2011 *Paper Format* Each manuscript page should have a 1-inch margin on the top, bottom, right and left.

Scientists are investigating the phenomenon of the Web from different perspectives. Scholars in knowledge discovery and data mining have turned their attention towards the Web, almost as soon as people started using the Web for a variety of private and business activities. The analysis of human behavior in the Web and the support of knowledge extraction and information acquisition have been the topic of conferences and workshops for over a decade. Among them the WEBKDD workshop, organized since 1999 under the auspices of the ACM SIGKDD international conference on knowledge discovery and data mining, has served in establishing a community of Web miners, identifying the challenges of the practitioners and promoting innovative research solutions. About 10 years after this first workshop on mining the Web, we take a fresh look on research achievements and challenges ahead: we invite contributions that combine a retrospection of the achievements in the last decade with an in-depth discussion of current trends and new open problems for the next decade. We solicit both surveys with a strong visionary portion, and visionary works that build upon a solid methodological groundwork. Topics include but are not limited to: * web analytics * web search * recommender systems * personalization user modeling * online communities social web mining * Semantic Web * computational social science * mining from virtual worlds and games Submission procedure: The submission takes place in two phases. In the first phase, an extended abstract PROPOSAL of up to 6 pages should be submitted for evaluation. It should contain adequate information for the reviewers to assess the importance of the topic addressed, the width and depth of the research associated with it and the solidity of the vision promoted.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: 1st International Conference on IT-enabled Innovation in Enterprise Datum: Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:57:44 +0000 Von: Markus Helfert <markus.helfert(a)computing.dcu.ie> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers 1st International Conference on IT-enabled Innovation in Enterprise 29-31 July, 2010 University of Piraeus, Athens, Greece http://www.icitie.innov.org/ Important Dates =============== Regular Paper Submission: February 12, 2010 Authors Notification (regular papers): April 27, 2010 Final Regular Paper Submission and Registration: May 11, 2010 Conference date: 29-31 July, 2010 Background ========== The new International Conference on IT-enabled Innovation in Enterprise aims to provide a premier forum for the presentation and discussion of business and organisational innovation associated with Information Technology (IT). In a global and interconnected economy of the 21st century innovation management is an important aspect for enterprise sustainability and survival. Over the last years the topic has attracted large interest from research and practitioners alike. An organisation’s competitive advantage depends on the ability of its people, processes, and systems to manage innovation and seek sustainability. Innovation Management has been discussed and examined from a variety of perspectives, including behavioural, managerial, strategic and technological. In this regard, information technology and technology innovation are frequently referred as enablers and facilitators of innovation. With this conference we intend to complement the mostly behavioural and technology centred discussion on innovation. The aim of this conference is to examine how information technology enables and generates innovation and thus provides value to enterprises. The goal of this conference is to discuss and share best practices, experiences, models, methods and tools for innovation and enterprise renewal. The conference seeks contributions on real-world business and organisational applications, management concepts, models, methods and tools associated with information technology enabled innovation. In this regard, we encourage the submission of design science research for innovation management in the form of constructs, models, methods and instantiations. In-line with the aim of this conference, contributions must highlight the value and innovation driven by information technology in enterprise. The idea of the conference is to provide a forum and platform for both researchers and practitioners to exchange knowledge, ideas and to learn from each other. Practitioners and researchers present findings and experience. In addition to the official program, there is plenty of opportunity for informal discussions and networking. We invite contributions from industry, academia and collaborative research as well as encourage postgraduate researchers to submit their work.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] CFP Workshop on MapReduce and its Application (with HPDC'2010) Datum: Mon, 04 Jan 2010 10:40:59 +0100 Von: Gilles Fedak <Gilles.Fedak(a)inria.fr> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> (our apologies if you receive this announcement multiple times) ------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS The First International Workshop on MapReduce and its Applications (MAPREDUCE'10) June 22nd, 2010 HPDC'2010, Chicago, IL, USA (http://graal.ens-lyon.fr/mapreduce/) ------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE Since its introduction in 2004 by Google, MapReduce has become the programming model of choice for processing large data sets. MapReduce borrows from functional programming, where a programmer can define both a Map task that maps a data set into another data set, and a Reduce task that combines intermediate outputs into a final result. Although MapReduce was originally developed for use by web enterprises in large data-centers, this technique has gained a lot of attention from the scientific community for its applicability in large parallel data analysis (including geographic, high energy physics, genomics, etc..). The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussing recent advances, identifying open issues, introducing developments and tools, and presenting applications and enhancements for MapReduce (or very similar) systems. We therefore cordially invite contributions that investigate these issues, introduce new execution environments, apply performance evaluations and show the applicability to science and enterprise applications. TOPICS OF INTEREST * MapReduce implementation issues and improvements * Implementation optimization for GPU and multi-core systems * Extensions to the programing model * Large-scale MapReduce (Grid and Desktop Grid) * Use of CDN and P2P techniques * Heterogeneity and fault-tolerance * Scientific data-sets analysis * Data and compute-intensive applications * Tools and environments for MapReduce * Algorithms using the MapReduce paradigm PAPER SUBMISSIONS Authors are invited to submit full papers of at most 8 pages, including all figures and references. Papers should be formatted in the ACM proceedings style (e.g., http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Submitted papers must be original work that has not appeared in and is not under consideration for another conference or a journal. Accepted papers will be published by ACM in the conference workshops proceedings. IMPORTANT DATES * Manuscript submission deadline : February 15, 2010 * Acceptance notification : March 20, 2010 * Camera-ready paper deadline : April 10, 2010 * Workshop dates : June 22, 2010 ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE General Chairs Gilles Fedak, INRIA/LIP Geoffrey Fox, Indiana University Program chair Haiwu He, INRIA/Hohai University PROGRAM COMMITTEE * Gabriel Antoniu, INRIA * Alexandre de Assis Bento Lima, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro * Francisco V.
