Fwd: [AISWorld] CFC: chapter proposals asked for a forthcoming book in IS research methods
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Nov '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFC: chapter proposals asked for a forthcoming book in IS research methods Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:09:12 -0600 (CST) From: Manuel Mora T. <mmora(a)securenym.net> Reply-To: mmora(a)securenym.net To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTIONS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book in ?Research Methodologies in Engineering of Software Systems and Information Systems: Philosophies, Methods and Innovations? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. BOOK RELEVANCE Knowledge on research approaches is critical for advancing our scientific knowledge (Popper, 2002; Bhaskar, 2008). In particular, given the increasing complexity and interaction of Systems Engineering, Software Engineering (Boehm, 2000, 2006) and Information Systems disciplines (Mora et al. 2008), and the myriad of classic research methodologies and innovative hybrid or multi-methodological approaches (Glass et al. 2004; Mingers, 2000; 2001; Valerdi& Davidz, 2009), we consider that research faculty involved in such disciplines are faced with the challenge to incorporate in their research approaches repertory a set of updated approaches (e.g. the design vs natural research approaches (March& Smith, 1995; Hevner et al. 2004)). While there are excellent and multiple research books at present, most of them are focused either on a single discipline, a single approach, or on statistical or qualitative procedures and techniques. Furthermore, while some high value integrative studies on research approaches appear in journals and conference proceedings, while these are scarce. The integrative and systemic approach taken in this book should provide an integrated source of high-quality material on research approaches for researchers in the three highly interrelated disciplines of Systems Engineering, Software Engineering and Information Systems. Adopting a such a systemic approach, we propose that a research approach (extended from Ackoff et al. 1962; Checkland, 1983, 2000; Jackson, 1991; Gelman& Garcia, 1989)) may be used as an answering and problem-solving system comprised of: (i) philosophical paradigms (P?s: an ontological, epistemological and axiological stance on the world): (ii) theoretical frameworks (F?s: ideas-constructs, theories, and models); (iii) methodologies (M?s: methods, techniques, and instruments), and (iv) situational domains (D?s: natural, artificial or social objects, artifacts and subjects under study). Thus, we invite Systems Engineering, Software Engineering and Information Systems researchers interested in sharing their expertise on research approaches, to submit high-quality chapters for this forthcoming book (references upon request). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. BOOK AIMS This book pursues three aims: (i) to advance our scientific knowledge on the diverse research approaches used in Engineering of Software Systems and Information Systems, (ii) to update and integrate disperse and valuable knowledge on research approaches isolated in each discipline, and (iii) to make available to research faculty a repertory of such research approaches in a single source. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. PROSPECTIVE AUDIENCE This book is projected to attend the following academic and research international audiences: ? Research-oriented faculty in Engineering of Software Systems and Information Systems disciplines. ? PhD Students on in Engineering of Software Systems and Information Systems disciplines. ? Instructors of graduate Research Methods courses on Engineering of Software Systems and Information Systems disciplines. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. IMPORTANT DATES - Chapter proposal submission due is: November 30, 2010 - Editorial decision on chapter proposals due is: December 15, 2010 - Full chapter submission due is: February 28, 2011 - Editorial decision due is: March 31, 2011 - Conditioned chapter submission due is: May 31, 2011 - Editorial decision due for conditioned papers is: June 30, 2011 - Camera-ready submission due is: July 15, 2011 - Book publishing release is : January 2012 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS To ensure the high quality of published material, all chapters submitted to this book -through this open call for chapters- will be reviewed by three reviewers (one from the Editorial Advisory and Review Board, one external and one the same set of academic submitters) in double-blind mode. This book will publish also asked chapters from recognized senior experts in selected themes for didactical purposes. The book?s editorial preface will report both types of accepted chapters. 1. Chapter proposals must be submitted before or on November 30, 2010 to guest editors: Dr. Manuel Mora at mmora(a)securenym.net. 2. Accepted proposals are expected to be completed for or before February 28, 2011. 3. Guest editors will assign three reviewers and will collect editorial recommendations to extend a final editorial decision on the following: (i) full chapter is accepted as is, (ii) full chapter is accepted subject to minor changes), (iii) full chapter is rejected due to inadequate academic quality, before or on March 31, 2011. 4. Authors of accepted chapters must submit the camera-ready chapter version and other related materials before or on July 15, 2011. Accepted chapters with minor corrections are expected to be updated by incorporating the main concerns identified by reviewers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 21:23:46 +0000 From: Yogesh Dwivedi <ykdwivedi(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: Janssen, Marijn <m.f.w.h.a.janssen(a)tudelft.nl> Call for papers for a Special Issue of The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems (Journal Information: http://the-database.org/) on Moving Towards Maturity: Challenges to Successful E-government Implementation and Diffusion It is our pleasure to seek articles for a special issue of The DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems whose focus is on “Moving Towards Maturity: Challenges to Successful E-government Implementation and Diffusion”. Further information regarding the journal can be found on The DATA BASE web site at http://the-database.org/ Guest Editors – Yogesh K. Dwivedi, Swansea University; Vishanth Weerakkody, Brunel University; Dr. Marijn Janssen, Delft University of Technology Overview: The purpose of e-government is to build a digital state where public services and information can be offered to citizens electronically. However, for e-government implementation to be widespread and successful, exemplary strategies and practices need to be identified in addition to establishing and prioritizing processes to be e-enabled. Every e-government programme needs to have a clear idea of the proposed benefits to citizens, what challenges need to be overcome and the level of institutional change that needs to take place for it to be successful in a given context Having largely evolved from the e-business framework, the success of e-government will also depend on how governments entice citizens to use online public services. Therefore, from a demand perspective, extensive efforts are necessary to increase citizens’ awareness about the transition to online delivery of government services. In order to prevent a digital divide in terms of using e-government services, it is also necessary that citizens from all segments of society are equipped with basic Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) skills as well as access to high speed Internet connections (i.e. through the use of broadband connections at home or in public places). The above-mentioned issues may seem obvious and simple; however, they are critical challenges to citizens’ adoption of emerging e-government services. Consequently, there are many technical, organisational, managerial and socio-economic challenges for successful implementation and adoption of e-government. These challenges need attention from a range of stakeholders, including researchers and policy makers. The aim of this special issue is to provide a common platform for discussion and presentation of original research highlighting issues related to technical, organizational, managerial and socio-economic aspects of e-government implementation, diffusion and adoption. The special issue seeks scholarly manuscripts that explore the following topics: • Development, implementation, control and maintenance of e-government projects; • Challenges to integration and implementation of joined-up e-government services; • Barriers to awareness, adoption and diffusion of available e-government services; • Innovative applications and best practices in e-government; • Process reengineering efforts that encapsulate the transition of traditional services to e-government • Studies that map the progression of e-government from initiation to maturity • Overview studies such as development within countries, policies, and infrastructure facilities; • Comparative studies (comparing countries); • The role of high-speed Internet in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-government services; • The role of socio-economic determinants in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-government services; • Local, national, and international policies and strategies to create and disseminate successful e-government services; • E-government and the digital divide; and • E-democracy and e-participation as enabled by e-government applications. The special issue particularly aims to capture some of most salient organisational, social and policy aspects of e-government as well the technical issues surrounding e-government implementations (e.g., database and information management, systems design, system integration etc.). Schedule Submission of full paper: Dec 15, 2010 Feedback from referees: Feb 15, 2011 Submission due date of revised paper: April 15, 2011 Notification of acceptance: May 30, 2011 Submission of final revised paper: June 30, 2011 Publication date: Vol. 42, Issue 4, 2011 (Tentative) Instructions for Authors: Full manuscript submissions must be submitted to the Editors via online review system of the DATA BASE located at http://www.editorialmanager.com/sigmisdb/.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Handbook of Research on E-Business Standards and Protocols: Documents, Data and Advanced Web Technologies Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2010 06:55:06 +0100 From: Ejub Kajan <ejubkajan(a)sbb.rs> Reply-To: kajane(a)acm.org Organization: State University of Novi Pazar To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: ekajan(a)ieee.org, kajane(a)acm.org 2nd CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: December 11, 2010 Handbook of Research on E-Business Standards and Protocols: Documents, Data and Advanced Web Technologies A book edited by Dr. Ejub Kajan, State University of Novi Pazar, Serbia Dr. Frank-Dieter Dorloff, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Dr. Ivan Bedini, Alcatel Lucent, Bell Labs, Ireland To be published by IGI Global: http://igi-global.com/AuthorsEditors/AuthorEditorResources/CallForBookChapt… Introduction Electronic business (here and after EC, Electronic Commerce) is a major force shaping the digital world. Yet, despite of years of research and standardization efforts, many problems persist that prevent EC from achieving its full potential. In particular, errors and conflicts are caused by too much heterogeneity between existing business documents and in products and services catalogues. Problems arise from different data vocabulary, classification schemas, document names, structures, exchange formats—and their varying roles in business processes. Non-standardized business terminology, lack of common acceptable and understandable processes (grammar), and lack of common dialog rules (protocols) create barriers to improving electronic business processes. These problems arise from the incompatibility of B2B protocols, i.e. from the heterogeneity of atomic transactions that appear in public part of a business process. Recent research has concentrated on goals of harmony and agreement in business processes—attempting to choreograph and orchestrate business protocols and to match semantic agreement between their vocabularies and grammar. In doing so, they assure that business data from different business documents can be included in business protocols in a consistently understandable and applicable way by business peers, even though requirements for electronic business differ depending on the domain (e.g. e-government. E-procurement), the sector (trade or industry), and the actor (public or private). These differences also require an in depth analysis. New approaches, including thinking about new possibilities for the Internet of Things and the Internet of Services and for “cloud oriented” approaches is also of real interest to researchers who hope to solve these problems. Electronic business applications play a part in the evolution of future technologies, promise a new way to share and discover information, and may improve business exchange capability. Moving toward real business intelligence, many researchers hope to discover where intelligent agents and Semantic Web technologies fit in now and how they support the goal of improving electronic business standards and protocols. Objective of the Book The book will give an overview of the latest achievements in the field, provide in-depth analysis of and research on the development and deployment of cutting-edge applications, and provide insight into future trends. Target Audience The subject of the book is one of the hot topics in electronic business and IT research.
