Krämer (FernUniversität in Hagen) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS - EINREICHUNGSDEADLINE: 15.01.2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Symposium on Collective Intelligence - COLLIN 2011 vom 09.-10.06.2011 in Seoul (http://www.fernuni-hagen.de/collin2011) Collective behavior and collective intelligence have come more and more into the focus of both, research and practical, everyday use. Users crowd to design new products or help solving engineering problems, and companies have to find an answer how to integrate the knowledge into their processes. Changing environmental factors, like new information technology and changed customer behavior, allow for many opportunities for the emergence of collective intelligence. Collective behavior and the achieved results as well as the closely connected individual learning processes offer a high potential for value creation in different areas, like business, research or society. However, the potential of collective behavior, collective intelligence and learning in the context of value creation is widely unexplored. To harness this potential, it is important to understand the basic concepts, features and mechanism of collective intelligence based on interdisciplinary research. To provide a platform to share ideas and information between scientists and also between scientists and practitioners, the symposium on collective intelligence will take place from June 9 to June 10, 2011 at the Seoul National University in Korea. Since the topic is highly interdisciplinary the symposium focuses on different research areas, like economics, informatics, media science, psychology, or sociology. *Focus: Web-based collective intelligence in innovation processes*** Topics include, but are not limited to: - Methods and designs to use collective intelligence for value creation - Categorization of mechanisms of web-based collective intelligence - Business models for harnessing collective intelligence - Challenges and success factors to harness web-based collective intelligence in innovation processes - Methods to design environments for collective intelligent behavior - Methods and models to analyze web-based collective phenomena - Concepts to coordinate and control collective value creation - Scientific theories to analyze web-based collective intelligence - Scientific theories to analyze innovation processes and innovation networks - Technological and organizational triggers to promote collective intelligence - Case studies of using web-based collective intelligence for value creation * *Focus: Assessment factors, performance evaluation, and building blocks of Collective‑Intelligence (CI)‑Systems**** Topics include, but are not limited to: - Design requirements and development of CI-Systems - Architecture and components of CI-Systems - Case studies and applications of CI-Systems - Decision support systems considering social network information - Assessment factors for social networks - Performance evaluation of social networks - Mechanisms for establishing knowledge networks - Methods for designing CI-Systems - Mechanisms for extracting, storing, and accessing collective knowledge - Formal structures and representations of collective knowledge - IT-supported modeling of collective knowledge *Conference chairs* Joern Altmann (Seoul National University), Ulrike Baumoel (FernUniversitaet in Hagen), Bernd J.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - ISCRAM Social Media and Collaborative Systems Track Date: Sat, 9 Oct 2010 19:50:24 -0400 From: Linda Plotnick <linda.plotnick(a)gmail.com> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org */ISCRAM 2011/* *From early-warning systems to preparedness and training** 8th International Conference on Information Systems for Crisis Response and Management* *May 8-11 2011 LNEC Congress Centre Lisbon, Portugal http://iscram2011.lnec.pt* TRACK: SOCIAL MEDIA AND COLLABORATIVE SYSTEMS *Introduction of the track* The convergence of information and communication technologies, the growth of the Internet including the mobile Internet, and the advent of technologies known under the general heading of Web 2.0 have all contributed to our ability to collaborate over great distances, both synchronously and asynchronously. Our aim in this track is to explore how these new approaches to and support for collaboration can help in crisis management and response. How might such collaboration technologies help: · preparation for disasters? · the crisis management team in their decision making on the handling the event? · the crisis management team in their interactions with a wide range of responders, government bodies, various publics and stakeholders and, of course, the victims and their families? · all parties build a picture and share information about a developing crisis? · widen the range of stakeholders who can join fully in handling the crisis and recovery? · involve communities fully during the recovery phase to rebuild and return to normality? · communities to work together, alongside but independently of government and non-governmental agencies, to inform and help themselves, co-ordinating citizen-led efforts? · virtual teams and virtual communities develop processes and software for emergency management and recovery? *Track topics* Papers are invited that provide rich description and/or evaluation of the actual use of novel web based and other systems for collaboration and/or widespread participation in any phase of emergency management, from initial planning and preparedness, through detection, response, and recovery phases. This might include, among others: * Studies of the use of virtual teams or virtual communities or “social software” (e.g., social networking sites, knowledge gathering systems such as Wikimapia) in the design or use of emergency management information systems, with data collection methods ranging from laboratory or field experiments to qualitative case studies. * Exploration and assessment of any problems that occur when virtual or partially distributed teams or the general public use information technology to coordinate disaster management related tasks, and how can they be resolved. * Assessment of the advantages of collaborative systems compared to closed “command and control” systems created for ‘official’ involvement only. * Investigations of the role these sorts of forums could have in future disaster preparation and response. How could their efforts be better facilitated? What socio-technical conditions should be in place to make them most beneficial? * Behavioral studies of collaboration which have implications for the use of networking and web technologies in crisis response and management, including experimental studies. *Track Chair and Co-Chairs* *Starr Roxanne Hiltz Hiltz(a)njit.edu <mailto:Hiltz@njit.edu> NJIT Paloma Diaz Universidad Carlos III de Madrid pdp(a)inf.uc3m.es <mailto:pdp@inf.uc3m.es> Linda Plotnick Jacksonville State University lplotnick(a)jsu.edu <mailto:lplotnick@jsu.edu> /*Corresponding Chair/ *Types of Submissions* ISCRAM 2011 is soliciting three types of submission: 1. /Full research papers/, which will be double-blind peer-reviewed. It is intended that these will report completed work which can be assessed to the highest academic standards.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 3rd Workshop on the Convergence of Knowledge Management and E-Learning (CKME2011) - 6th Conference Professional Knowledge Management Datum: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 15:50:40 +0200 Von: Markus.Bick(a)escpeurope.de An: Markus.Bick(a)escpeurope.de /Apologises for any cross-postings!/ CALL FOR PAPERS *CKME11 - 3nd Workshop on the Convergence of Knowledge Management and E-Learning* http://www.wm-konferenz2011.org/ckme.html within the 6th Conference Professional Knowledge Management - From Knowledge to Action 21st of February to 23rd of February 2011, Innsbruck (Austria) http://www.wm-konferenz2011.org/indexEN.html Background and Motivation of the Workshop ========================================= The workshop brings together researchers and practitioners that are interested in combining findings from two different fields: knowledge management and e-learning. Thereby, the content ranges from recent scientific approaches via prototypical implementations up to field reports about the convergence of knowledge management and e-Learning. After the very successful first two CKME Workshops in 2007 and 2009, we will proceed on this current topic. Thus, we would like to keep up the discussion concerning the integration of concepts, processes, and systems for the fields of knowledge management and e-learning. The workshop mainly focuses on two issues: a) how can knowledge, learning and business processes be integrated, and b) how can the related systems be integrated to enable an efficient workflow. Currently, even less learning environments take the context and the environment into account. Using mobile and ambient technologies can lead to a paradigm shift in the construction of such environments: from static to highly contextualized knowledge experiences. Based on the integration of these systems into social networks and social software applications, formal and informal collaborative interactions will further enhance this effect. Topics of Interest ================== We appreciate submissions from all areas contributing to the development and application of convergent systems especially targeting the above mentioned levels of convergence. Thereby, we encourage contributions addressing technology-oriented as well as human-oriented approaches. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Convergence of processes and systems * Implementing and establishing convergent solutions * Using web 2.0 applications for KM and E-Learning integration * Contextualisation (e.g., location-based services, mobile solutions, internationalisation) * Tools and implementations * Social networks and social media as convergence tools * Prototypes / Cases Studies The workshop should lead to comprehensive insights into integrated knowledge and learning solutions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] International Journal of E-Business Research: TOC 6(4) and CFP Datum: Thu, 7 Oct 2010 12:01:48 -0500 (CDT) Von: In Lee <I-Lee(a)wiu.edu> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 6, Issue 4, October-December 2010 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1548-1131 EISSN: 1548-114X Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijebr Editor-in-Chief: In Lee, Western Illinois University, USA PAPER ONE Effects of Website Interactivity on e-Loyalty: A Social Exchange Perspective Wen-Jang Jih, Middle Tennessee State University, USA Su-Fang Lee, Overseas Chinese University, Taiwan Yuan-Cheng Tsai, Overseas Chinese University, Taiwan This study examines the impact of major considerations of commercial website design and management, website interactivity, the important performance factor, and customer loyalty. Meaningful interactions with existing and potential customers allow e-commerce firms to enhance customer loyalty by providing satisfactory customer experience. Customer loyalty is a composite construct, yet consists of multiple dimensions that do not necessarily contribute to repeat purchase in the same manner. Guided by the concept of social exchange in social psychology, this study investigates the causal effect of website interactivity on two conceptually distinctive types of website loyalty—transactional loyalty and relational loyalty. This paper finds positive effects of website loyalty on both types of loyalty, while revealing positive effects of transactional loyalty on relational loyalty and overall loyalty. Furthermore, relational loyalty is found to contribute more to overall loyalty than transactional loyalty. E-commerce firms are advised to offer attractive incentives in a systematical manner to gradually convert more temporary transactional loyalty to more long-term relational loyalty. Finally, firms must devise a portfolio of different marketing strategies to cater to the customers located on different points on transactional loyalty.

The authors took an interpretive stance in this study, grounded theory, and investigated the ontology of virtual organization by the metaphorical analysis. The metaphorical analysis adopted in this study provides the analytical power to conceptualize the social structure of virtual organization in the context of structuration theory with the process of grounded theory. As the e-business structuration indicates in this study, virtualization, the metaphor of virtual organization is interpreted as flexible domination, where the rational relationships in power distribution with other e-business characterized temporal (virtual) bond with low switching costs.

Due to the nature of m-commerce, the key to success in m-commerce lies predominantly in managing a network of alliances. This paper answers research questions, such as why do companies team up for m-commerce? What are the key challenges facing the alliances? How can companies address the challenges? What does the future hold for the study of strategic alliances including m-commerce alliances? This paper extends strategic alliance theories to the study of m-commerce alliances that are formulated in various cultural and national backgrounds. The authors examine both strategic and operational strategies for m-commerce alliances and discuss a wide range of issues in the formulation and implementation of m-commerce alliance strategy.

In particular, the impact of the Internet on customers, design of products/services, pricing, marketing communications, intermediaries, publics, and social/cultural environment is explored. Throughout the paper, related under-researched and unsettled areas are discussed and future research avenues are suggested.

The paper also develops a Strategic Framework as a guideline for manufacturers to formulate their Internet channel strategies. Unlike most other studies on channel conflicts that focus on channel management after the manufacturer has already established its ODSC, this study provides a comprehensive strategic analysis of channel conflicts based on a pre-ODSC context, which prevents unnecessary losses from channel conflicts before they occur.

Semantic models can serve a number of different purposes in this context. They can be used as application or interface models in model-driven design, generation at design time as well as at runtime, and integration of user interfaces. Ontologies may enhance the visualization and interaction capabilities of user interfaces in various ways, e.g., by providing input assistance, intelligently clustering information, or adapting the user interface according to the user‚Äôs context. Especially in the latter case, ontologies can be applied for representing the various kinds of context information for context-aware and adaptive systems. In particular, they have promised to provide a technique for representing external physical context factors such as location, time or technical parameters and ‚Äòinternal‚Äô context such as user interest profiles or interaction context in a consistent, generalized manner. Owing to these properties, semantic models can also contribute to bridging gaps, e.g., between user models, context-aware interfaces and model-driven UI generation. There is, therefore, a considerable potential for using semantic models as a basis for adaptive interactive systems. The range of potential adaptations is wide comprising, for example, context- and user-dependent recommendations, interactive assistance when performing application-specific tasks, adaptation of the application functionality, or adaptive retrieval support. Furthermore, a variety of reasoning and machine learning techniques exist, that can be employed to achieve adaptive system behavior. TOPICS OF INTEREST Following up the succesfull 1st SEMAIS workshop at IUI 2010, the workshop will address, among others, the following research issues: - Improve UI quality by using semantic models. - Representing user models, systems and their behavior, domain knowledge and interaction context by means of semantic models. - Cognitively or neurally founded reasoning techniques such as activation spreading for semantic user models. - Context-aware interaction based on semantic models. - Adaptation strategies and techniques based on semantic models for e.g. recommender systems, adaptive retrieval, collaboration support systems and others. - Generating explanations or visualizations to increase user confidence and support traceability. - Scalability and performance of semantic model-based interactive systems. - Semantic model-driven UI development. - Generation and evolution of semantic models for interactive systems. - Suitability of highly formal vs. light-weight semantic representations. - Consuming linked data in user interfaces. - Bringing ontologies together with current UI modeling languages, such as UsiXML. - Evaluation approaches for adaptive interaction. SUBMISSIONS AND PARTICIPATION Prospective participants should submit a 2-page position paper describing their interests and work in the topic of the workshop. First comments on (one or more of) the following topics we intend to discuss at the workshop are also welcome, but not mandatory (additional questions are also welcome): - What are the major challenges (technical, organizational etc.) for developing or generating user interfaces based on semantic models? - For which kinds of systems or applications are semantic models particularly useful? - In which ways will semantic technologies affect user interfaces in the future? - What kinds of context-adaptivity do you see as particularly promising? - How can adaptive model driven user interfaces be evaluated? We will select participants based on the abstract's quality and the diversity of their backgrounds, aiming at an interdisciplinary group. The selected presenters will be asked to provide an extended 5-page position paper one month before the workshop. These position papers will be circulated in advance for participants to get an understanding of the mutual views and to provide a starting point for the discussion. Accepted submissions will be published electronically via CEUR-WS. Please submit your contributions in PDF format to submissions(a)semais.org.
