SPECIAL ISSUE ON: Mobile Services: Development and Management
International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR)
Editor-in-Chief: In Lee
INTRODUCTION:
As business paradigm shifts from a desktop-centric environment to a data-centric mobile environment, mobile services provide numerous new business opportunities, and at the same time, challenge many of the basic premises of existing business models. Mobile services are mobility-enhancing computing services that can be delivered to a user’s mobile device over a wireless network. Mobile technologies have advanced at an unprecedented speed due to consumers’ increasing demand for new devices/services and corresponding corporate R&D efforts. These rapid technological developments, such as high bandwidth wireless networks, mobile computing, mobile devices, sensors, RFID applications, smartphones, middleware, intelligent agents, and the like, have contributed to the impressive growth of mobile subscribers. Mobile services like mobile messaging, mobile banking, mobile Web browsing, e-mails, mobile entertainment, information retrieval, maps, location-based advertising, and so forth, hold great potential for new business models and applications in mobile commerce.
OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:
The convergence of the Internet and wireless technology in the late 1990s has produced a revolutionary telecommunication phenomenon called mobile services. Due to the extraordinary speed of technological advances, factors and issues influencing mobile services are not well understood, and empirical, as well as theoretical studies, are lacking. Enabling and disabling factors affect subscribers’ adoption and interaction with mobile services, which may be different from a desktop-centric environment. Given the current technological transition from 3G to 4G and the demand for further research, this special issue seeks to foster a scientific understanding of mobile services, provide a timely publication of current research efforts, and forecast future trends in the mobile services industry. This special issue is concerned not only with individual users and user groups, but also with the social, organizational, and technological aspects of mobile services.
RECOMMENDED TOPICS:
Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
-Analysis and design of mobile services
-Analysis of mobile services industry
-Conceptual frameworks for understanding mobile services and mobile use

Call for Papers - Minitrack Virtual Communities & Virtual Worlds
=====================================================
16th Americas Conference on Information Systems
August 12-15 2010, Lima, Peru
http://www.virtual-community.org <http://www.virtual-community.org/>.
(Supported by Fachgruppe CSCW of Gesellschaft fuer Informatik,
http://www.fgcscw.gi-ev.de/)
This Mini-Track builds on the success of the preceding AMCIS mini-tracks
on Virtual Communities and Social Networking. During the last ten years
we have been gathering a community of researchers who are interested in
the field of Virtual Communities and Social Networking and related
issues. Please visit the Mini-Track website at
http://www.virtual-community.org <http://www.virtual-community.org/>
Virtual communities and social networking based on message boards, chat
rooms, user groups blogs and other web 2.0 technologies have emerged as
high activity domains on the Internet and more and more in the relam of
mobile devices and mobile internet usage. Virtual communities and social
networks are designed for a variety of purposes, ranging from
Communities of Interest, Communities of Relationship (Facebook, etc.),
Gaming Communities (e.g. in Wolrd of Warcraft, Second Life, etc.), and
Communities of Transaction to Peer-to-Peer Communities or Mobile
Communities. Web 2.0 Mechanisms are also boosting the development of
Virtual Communities and the role of user-generated content within
Virtual Communities. The significance of these communities is evident by
the impact they have on information generation and transmission, and
socialization. For example, today, blogs are quickly becoming a primary
source of information in a variety of domains. The dynamic and
interactive nature of these forums makes them very attractive for users
and operators. An additional value offered by many of these communities
is their ability to support socialization and offer an identity for the
participants. While most virtual communities share these
characteristics, it is also important to recognize that virtual
communities are not homogeneous; they differ significantly based on the
domain, purpose and benefits. Well-organized communities even expand
their power across various channels and into the Offline world.
Within the field of information systems researchers are interested in
studying interaction patterns, social structures and interactions,
transaction processes, management aspects, business models, and design
aspects of information systems and services for virtual communities.
Community members interact via digital media and contribute value in the
form of content, reviews, and recommendations. Related issues are trust,
network effects, transaction costs and the design of services as well as
the generation of innovations. "Wisdom of Crowds", "Collective
Intelligence" and "Crowdsourcing" are important new terms describing
mechanisms around user-generated content in Virtual Communities and
Social Networks.
This mini-track welcomes empirical, conceptual and theoretical work.
Despite the increasing popularity of virtual communities and social
networking, several questions relating to virtual communities and social
networking remain largely unexplored.
This minitracks welcomes empirical, conceptual and theoretical work. We
call for papers on all aspects of Virtual Communities. Possible topics
include (but are not limited to):

Mini-track - Traveling Through the Portal: RFID Experiences Around the Globe
As companies expand into global marketplaces, and time to market
schedules are compressed, the ability for organizations to manage the
flow of information becomes critical. Companies have realized that
technology is a key driver to success by enabling information flows, and
many recognize the potential of radio frequency identification (RFID) to
facilitate those information flows throughout a global supply chain. In
these economically challenging times, organizations must adapt and
squeeze additional efficiencies out of their supply chain. The new
economic climate opens up a whole spectrum of possibilities for creating
new RFID- based services and applications.
>From a diffusion of innovation perspective, RFID as an information
technology presents new challenges for understanding its initiation,
adoption, adaptation, implementation, acceptance, use, routinization,
and infusion into the supply chain. This mini-track addresses issues
related to the application of RFID within the global context. We
encourage authors to share new and interesting theoretical and
methodological perspectives on topics relevant to both academic
researchers and practitioners. We invite traditional submissions
including empirical research and work in progress examining and
extending theory, as well as new paths of discovery including
frameworks, case studies, and data analytics.
*Topics.* The following include suggestions for applicable topics (but
not limited to) for this mini-track:
. Benefits from RFID
. Challenges to RFID implementation and diffusion
. Changes to different industries prompted by RFID
. Technical integration of RFID with other applications
. RFID impact on changes to business processes
. Establishing the business case(s) for RFID adoption and diffusion
. RFID impact on physical health and individual privacy
. RFID impact on interorganizational collaboration
. Standards for the proliferation and use of RFID
. Effective implementation of RFID in the global business community
As in previous years, the RFID mini-track is soliciting high-quality
papers. We welcome a wide variety of papers including conceptual,
empirical, analytical, qualitative analyses, and case studies on any
topic that is relevant to the RFID phenomenon.
Important dates are:
January 4, 2010: Submission system begins accepting paper submissions
March 1, 2010: Deadline for paper submissions (through AMCIS online
submission system)
April 12, 2010: Notification of acceptance of papers

Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS2010 Minitrack Participations and Behavior in
Virtual Worlds CFP

CALL FOR PAPERS
"Participations and Behavior in Virtual Worlds”
Minitrack at 16th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS),
August 12-15, 2010, Lima, Peru.
This minitrack is part of the “Virtual Worlds” track.
Description
A virtual world is an online space where residents are 2D or 3D avatars
representing the reallife player (Reina Yahya et al. 2008). The recent
emergence of social networking
software such as Cyworld, LinkedIn, and Facebook, the virtual world
websites Habbo Hotel and Second Life, and various Massively Mutiplayer
Online Game (MMOGs) websites such as the World of Warcraft implies that
a virtual world is forming humanity’s future. These widespread virtual
worlds suggest that this ‘third place’ -- other than work and home -- is
here to stay and has significant business as well as societal impact.
Following the recent emergence of Second Life, set up by Linden Lab, and
further promoted by many real business players such IBM, Microsoft,
Armani, Coco-Cola, and many other industries (Stuart et al. 2008),
business applications of virtual worlds started to appear. Cyworld and
MNOGs actually earned revenues through their business models.
Furthermore, applications of virtual worlds are promising, ranging from
branding and marketing (Hemp 2006; Papagiannidis et al. 2008; Stuart et
al. 2008), business training and education (Brendaet al. 2008), the
gaming industry (Jin et al. 2008), and the potential business model
called virtual commerce (Papagiannidis et al. 2008; Reina Yahya et al.
2008).
As an emerging technology in development, virtual world studies are in
their infancy, especially the behavioral side of virtual world users,
virtual world groups, or the virtual world
as an organization. From the user side, a virtual world is not able to
be sustained or survive without a critical mass of members and their
active participation. The rationale is quite simple: only after the
aggregation of a critical mass of active members can virtual worlds
accumulate invaluable information and diversity to bring benefits or
generate revenue for virtual world organizers (Hagel et al. 1997;
Papagiannidis et al. 2008). At the group level, it must be questioned
how virtual world users behave when acting as a group. What’s more, the
behavior of virtual worlds as an organization is totally new, and the
impact of their behavior on current business organization is unknown.
Questions such as these are beneficial for us to research. In this
sense, most areas of virtual world research, especially virtual world
participation and behavior, are unexplored. Solid theories and
discussions are needed for this new field. This mini-track welcomes both
conceptual and empirical research on virtual world participation
behavior either at the individual, group, or organizational level.
Possible topics
• Specific behavior patterns and characteristics of virtual world users
• Motivation for people to participate in virtual worlds
• Impact of virtual world behavior on virtual world users’ lives and work
• How virtual worlds behavior change people’s communication process
• Multi-level approach to studying the users’ behavior and participation
in virtual worlds
• Virtual world users’ behavior impact on business applications
• Cultural factors and their impact on virtual world users’ behavior
• Commentaries on specific virtual worlds
• Case studies and ethnography studies of virtual world users’ behavior
• Group and organizational behavior in virtual worlds
• Collaboration behavior in virtual worlds
• Financial behavior in virtual worlds
• Difference and similarity between virtual world behavior and real life
behavior
• Virtual world organization behavior

*Information Systems for Data Intensive Supply Chains*
SIGADIT mini-track at AMCIS 2010
Supply chains are generally enabled by complex information systems that
cater to cross-functional or intra-organizational activities (e.g.,
enterprise resource planning: ERP systems) as well as
inter-organizational activities (e.g., business-to-business: B2B
systems). These complex information systems cater to a “data intensive”
information-sharing environment between the hundreds of suppliers and
customers involved in supply chain operations. Due to differences in the
information systems portfolios of organizations in the supply chain and
the extent of implementation (i.e., one-way or two-way information
sharing) of these complex information systems, there is considerable
human intervention at the organizational boundaries to ensure accurate
transfer and capture of information. Moreover, the adoption and
implementation of such complex information systems are non-trivial
activities and entail joint decision-making between organizations on the
supply chain. Consequently, organizations face considerable challenges
in achieving supply chain visibility, realizing the true efficiency and
effectiveness of such complex information systems, and implementing
complex information systems.
We solicit theoretical and empirical papers on the adoption and
implementation of complex information systems. Potential topics include
but are not limited to the following:
§ Adoption and implementation of ERP, SCM, CRM, SRM, and B2B systems
§ SCM: Supply chain management
§ CRM: Customer relationship management
§ SRM: Supplier relationship management
§ Interface between intra-organizational and inter-organizational
information systems
§ Case studies of supply chain visibility through complex information
systems
§ Complex information systems in private and public sectors
§ Technologies for increasing efficiency and effectiveness of complex
information systems
§ Enablement of information sharing across organizational boundaries
§ Complex information systems across different industry sectors
§ Optimal portfolios of complex information systems for supply chain
operations
§ Diffusion of ERP, SCM, CRM, SRM, and B2B systems

*CALL FOR PAPERS*
*/Industrial Marketing Management/*
*/Special Issue on service & solution innovation/*
Companies are moving from selling pure products or services to selling
complex solutions consisting of hybrid bundles of interrelated services
and goods. A solution, from the customer's point of view, can be
understood as a relational process comprising the definition of the
customer requirements, customization and integration of goods and
services, their deployment, and post-deployment customer support. New
opportunities and challenges for companies arise through an increased
demand for solutions.
Innovation for complex solutions does not function in the same way as
product innovation. For example, the elements of integrated solutions
have divergent innovation and lifetime cycles. Throughout the entire
innovation cycle, therefore, manufacturers need to rethink their
processes and come up not only with services and solutions, but also
with new business models and processes for innovation generation. Also,
the definition of a solution as an ongoing business relationship implies
possibilities for further developing the solution after its
implementation through, e.g., modifications, upgrades, cross-selling etc.
The guest editors of the Special Issue of /Industrial Marketing
Management/ invite authors to submit original papers on the broad topic
of Service & Solution Innovation, with special attention on challenges
and success factors of managing the entire innovation cycle. Papers may
address the following research questions:
· How does the services & solution business change innovation management
for manufacturers?
· How do firms innovate within business solution relationships?
· Which parts of the innovation cycle are affected by a services and
solution strategy?
· How can innovation cycles for solutions be managed? How can firms deal
with the challenge of divergent innovation and lifetime cycles?
· How is the introduction of services and solution different from the
introduction of manufactured goods?
· What are enablers and drivers of solutions and solution offerings and
how does solution business (as opposed to product or service business)
and its drivers change firm-customer interfaces
· Should all firms strive to become solution sellers? Why do some firms
(both on the provider and the customer side) refrain from solutions?
What are the risks and barriers to purchasing and selling solutions?
· How can added-value delivered by integrated solutions be
conceptualized and measured?
· How can value networks be developed and managed to effectively create
and deliver solutions?
· What transformations in organizational structure are required for the
provision of solutions?
· Which aspects of company culture are critical for successful solution
innovation?
· What are the antecedents and consequences of solution orientation?
· What role should the sales force play in the process of solution
innovations?
· What are appropriate techniques to elucidate customer requirements for
business solutions?
· How can companies use requirement engineering in the context of
solution innovations?
· Is the level of customer expertise and integrating enhancing or
decreasing the quality of solution innovation results?
· What are differences between business solution and consumer solutions?
Empirical papers are especially welcome. Strong and innovative
conceptual work with a clear contribution to the advancement of
marketing and management science and case-based papers illustrating
solution selling practices would also be considered.
Papers should be 25-50 pages in length and follow the guidelines of
/Industrial Marketing Management/.
(_http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/505720/author…)
Electronic submission is required. All papers will be subject to a

The 9th Annual Security Conference
Discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy
April 7-8, 2010
The Orleans Hotel and Casino
Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
www.security-conference.org
CALL FOR PAPERS
Submissions Deadline: February 12, 2010
The nature and scope of the Information Security field has evolved
over the past several years. No longer are we just concerned with
protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more
holistic and we tend to consider all aspects of information protection
as central to the field of security. The Annual Security Conference
provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy
that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing
further dialogues.
Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals and case
studies are invited. All submissions are peer reviewed and
automatically considered for publication in the Journal of Information
System Security (http://www.jissec.org) and in special issues of other
major publications. Editors/AEs of other major journals are also in
attendance to advise authors as to how their papers could be
formulated for possible submission to any of the basket of AIS
journals (European Journal of Information Systems, Information Systems
Journal, Information Systems Research, Journal of AIS, Journal of MIS,
MIS Quarterly, Journal of Strategic Information Systems, Journal of
Information Technology) among others.

Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2010 CFP Minitrack Human Differences in
Adoption, Use, and Participation with Technology
Datum: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 15:12:29 -0500
Von: Dr. A.J. Morgan <ajmorgan.hu(a)gmail.com>

CALL FOR PAPERS
Human Differences in Adoption, Use, and Participation with Technology
Mini Track for the Social Inclusion Track at AMCIS 2010
Description:
Technology has become integrated into the fiber of our society in
increasingly important ways. From the use of the Internet to interact
with virtual communities to the development of electronic medical
records, attention must be paid to not only how technology is being
used, but who is using the technology. In an effort to increase the
use and usefulness of technological innovations, it is important for
studies to examine how technology is being adopted and used by diverse
populations.
Information Systems researchers have acknowledged the importance of
studies that investigate human and individual differences in
technology adoption, use and participation (Igbaria et al., 1995;
Jackson et al., 1997; Agarwal& Prasad, 1999; Trauth, 2006). Studies
on the topic have found that individual differences have a direct
effect on the frequency and volume of usage (Burton-Jones& Hubona,
2005). In addition, a myriad of socio-cultural factors may influence
different outcomes in user responses to technological systems (Gefen&
Straub, 1997). Malhotra and Galletta (1999) also found that social
influences play a significant role in the determination of acceptance
and usage behavior of new adopters of new information.
Currently, in research on human differences in adoption, use, and
participation with technology, factors which are being investigated
include race, culture, age, gender, self-efficacy, and socio-economic
status among others. The adoption, use and participation with
information and communication technologies (ICT) are opportunities to
advance the growth of social inclusion communities. Human differences
also help to focus or provide new solutions through ICT to problems of
social inclusion within diverse populations. This track invites papers
that focus on human individual differences amongst the adoption, use,
and participation with ICT in the context of how these differences and
behaviors have broader impact on social inclusion and the digital
divide. We are interested in including papers that are both
conceptually and empirically based. The topics of interest include but
are not limited to the following:
List of topics
Use of technology for health, education and economic development for
greater social inclusion of individuals and/or organizations
Race, gender, and culture influencing ICT adoption and use of technology
Adoption, use, or participation of technology for the betterment of
social inclusion among Latin and Caribbean countries
The impact of socio-economic factors relevant to adoption, use and
participation of technology
The digital divide
Governments roles through network technologies to achieve
collaboration and togetherness among citizens of social inclusion
The influence of the use and participation of ICT to produce more
socially inclusive communities
How human differences improve and effect the use of or participation
with ICT among social inclusive communities
