-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Information Systems 2011 in Avila, Spain: submit until 29 November Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 10:26:02 -0600 (CST) From: Ana Sofia <ana.sofia(a)is-conf.org> To: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at ** Apologies for cross-postings. Please send to interested colleagues and students.** -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline (1st call extension): 29 November 2010 ************************************************************* * IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2011* March 11-13, 2011 – Avila, Spain (http://www.is-conf.org/) ************************************************************* ** Keynote Speaker (confirmed):* Professor Philip Yetton, University of New South Wales, Australia ** Conference background and goals * A new paradigm is sweeping the society, organisations and the business environment. In fact, society and business world alike are moving from its tangible bases to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS) to support its management, use and sharing. In this emerging paradigm, terms like information, communication, knowledge, and learning have acquired a critical relevance to the understanding of the nature of contemporary business. This led authors such as Drucker (1993) to state that “we are entering the knowledge society in which the basic economic resource… is knowledge”. In fact, since the mid-1980s, there has been a sudden avalanche of a new kind of vocabulary. Corporations, which so far had been economic entities, are being described as ‘information-based organizations’, ‘learning organizations’, ‘knowledge-creating companies’ or knowledge intensive organisations. Instead of product-market strategies, the fashionable business discourse invokes core competencies, intangible assets, knowledge-based capabilities, intellectual capital, knowledge management etc. Consequently, in this 21st century of ours, terms such as intellectual capital, knowledge management, and knowledge mapping have increasingly become part of the corporate landscape. However, none of this apparent revolution would be possible without the underlying technological support provided by IS. The IADIS Information Systems Conference (IS 2011) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS taking a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. ** Format of the Conference * The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems. ** Types of submissions * Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. ** A set of key issues has been identified (see below). However, these do not aim at being prescriptive, or set in stone, and any innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be considered. Areas and Topics of the conference will focus on: * *IS in Practice, Technology Infrastructures and Organisational Processes* • Power, Cultural, Behavioural and Political issues • New Organisational Forms • Dilution of Organisational Boundaries • The centrality of IS and IT in Organisational Processes • IS Management • Information Management • Knowledge Management • IS and SMEs • Innovation and IS • Innovation and Knowledge Management • IS and Change Management • IS and Organisation Development • Enterprise Application Integration • Enterprise Resource Planning • Business Process Change *IS Design, Development and Management Issues and Methodologies* • Design and Development Methodologies and Frameworks • Iterative and Incremental Methodologies • Agile Methodologies • IS Design and Development as a Component-Based Process • IS Design and Development as Social Negotiation Process • IS D Design and Development as a Global and Distributed Process • Outsourcing in IS • Outsourcing Risks, Barriers and Opportunities • IS Project Management • IS Quality Management and Assurance • IS Standards and Compliance Issues • Risk Management in IS • Risk Management in IS Design and Development *IS Professional Issues* • Ethical, social, privacy, security and moral issues in an e-society • The role of information in the information society • Myths, taboos and misconceptions in IS • Practitioner and Research Relationship, Projects and Links • Validity, Usefulness and Applicability of IS Academic Research • Industrial Research versus Academic Research Issues • Industry Innovation and Leadership and Academic Laggards • IS consultancy as a profession • Organisational IS Roles • Communities of practice and Knowledge Sharing *IS Research* • Core Theories, Conceptualisations and Paradigms in IS Research • Ontological Assumptions in IS Research • IS Research Constraints, Limitations and Opportunities • IS vs Computer Science Research • IS vs Business Studies • Positivist, Interpretivist and Critical Approaches to IS Research • Quantitative vs. Qualitative Methods • Deductive vs Inductive Approaches • Multi-method Approaches and Triangulations in IS Research • Design Research and the Sciences of the Artificial in IS • Multidisciplinary Views and Multi Methodological Approaches • New and alternative approaches to IS research • Examples of experimental research designs in IS *IS Learning and Teaching * • Patterns of Demand for IS Teaching Provision • Fads, Fashions and Fetishes in IS Curricula • Pedagogic practice in Teaching IS • E-Learning in IS • Instructional Design for IS • National Cultures and Approaches to Pedagogy • Multiculturality and Diversity Issues in IS Learning and Teaching ** Important Dates:* - Submission deadline (1st call extension): 29 November 2010 - Notification to Authors (1st call extension): 27 December 2010 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration (1st call extension): Until 17 January 2011 - Late Registration (1st call extension): After 17 January 2011 - Conference: Avila, Spain, 11 to 13 March 2011 ** Conference Location * The conference will be held in Avila, Spain. ** Secretariat * IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2011 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3, 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)is-conf.org Web site: http://www.is-conf.org/ ** Program Committee * Conference Chair Professor Philip Powell, Deputy Dean, University of Bath, UK Program Co-Chairs Miguel Baptista Nunes, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Committee Members: for the full Committee Members list please access http://www.is-conf.org/committees.asp ** Co-located events* Please also check the co-located events: e-Society 2011 (http://www.esociety-conf.org/) - 10-13 March 2011 Mobile Learning 2011 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/) - 10-12 March 2011 * Registered participants in the Information Systems’ conference may attend Mobile Learning and e-Society conferences’ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://ss36.on9mail.com//home/r.asp?SID=0&G=2> subscribe <http://ss36.on9mail.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=128931…> forward <http://ss36.on9mail.com/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&HitID…> unsubscribe <http://ss36.on9mail.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neuman…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP: The Politics of ICT for Development
by Gustaf Neumann 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: The Politics of ICT for Development Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 16:52:25 +1300 From: Antonio Diaz Andrade <antonio.diaz(a)aut.ac.nz> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *SPECIAL ISSUE ON:* The Politics of ICT for Development for the International Journal of e-Politics (IJEP) *SUBMISSION DUE DATE:* February 1^st , 2011 ** *OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE:* When discussing information and communication technology for development (ICT4D), information systems researchers often focus on positive narratives of ICT4D, or alternatively discuss failures of such projects. What is less often discussed is the political dimension—the influence exerted on the decision-making process—of ICT4D. The idea of development is inherently political as it juxtaposes privileged and deprived societies and ties them together in a relationship. Amartya Sen, the Economics Nobel Prize laureate, conceptualizes development as the set of capabilities that give the individual the opportunity to be autonomousand realize the desired condition of ultimate happiness. Among these capabilities, which constitute an inherent attribute of freedom and become the means to achieve development, political liberties are typically neglected, especially in the ICT4D literature. We suggest that ICT4D may be limited in its ability to confer political liberties, but is an inherently political activity. Thus, in this call, we are interested both in the political potential of ICT4D, and the need to take a more politically informed view of the process of ICT4D at the macro and micro level. In the main, ICT4D initiatives aim at improving people’s living conditions by providing access to ICT tools. Avgerou (2008) talks of three discourses that can be identified in the current literature on ICT4D: 1) the transference of information systems knowledge from developed economies to developing economies, 2) the social embeddedness of information systems innovation in the context of developing countries and 3) the information systems innovation as a transformative socio-economic process. What is invariably intrinsic in all three of these discourses is the political dimension. This special issue welcomes papers that take an overtly political stance toward ICT4D. Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ·Activism in ICT4D projects ·Communal engagement and ICT4D ·Critical and emancipatory perspectives on ICT4D ·Ethical dimensions of ICT4D ·ICT4D and the public sphere ·Implications of existing social conditions in ICT4D projects ·New theoretical perspectives on the politics of ICT4D ·Pluralism in ICT4D initiatives ·Political debates on ICT4D ·Political properties of ICT4D projects ·Politics of social inclusion and ICT4D ·Politics of the ICT4D language ·Stakeholders’ political agendas in ICT4D Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on *The Politics of ICT4D* */on or before/*//*February 1^st , 2011*. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication.

Fwd: [WI] CfP: 1st Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2011
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: 1st Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2011 Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 21:30:49 +0100 From: Antonia Albani <a.albani(a)tudelft.nl> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de, dbta(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch, archimate_standardization(a)lists.telin.nl, ifip-wg81(a)idi.ntnu.no, icsc-sw(a)meter.eng.uci.edu =================================================================== 1st Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2011) http://ciaonetwork.org/index.php?id=72 16-17 May 2011 Antwerp, Belgium Proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) =================================================================== Motivation ---------- Modern enterprises face a strong economical pressure to increase competitiveness, to operate on a global market, and to engage in alliances of several kinds. But the vast majority of strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. Abundant research indicates that the key reason for strategic failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. These challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by management and organization science. Such knowledge is necessary and sufficient for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about changes. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. Both organizations and software systems are complex and prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Regarding (automated) information systems, this has been demonstrated; regarding organizations, it is still a conjecture. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. The people in an enterprise are collectively responsible for the operation (including management) of the enterprise. In addition, they are collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise (adapting to needs for change). These responsibilities can only be borne if one has appropriate knowledge of the enterprise. Focus and Goal -------------- The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference is the first working conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering with the goal to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about challenges mentioned above. Addressing these challenges requires a paradigm shift. It is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to address (all) traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise Engineering Paradigm. The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant. Topics of interest to this workshop include, but are not limited to: * Enterprise Ontology * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Governance * Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes * Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes * Domain reference ontologies * Business rules * Information systems development * Information system ontologies * Information system architectures * Component-based system development * Ontology-based web services * Interoperability testing and verification * Service Oriented Architecture * Enterprise modeling and simulation * Organizational modeling and simulation * Business process modeling and simulation * Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling Organization of the Workshop ---------------------------- The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference arises out of a series of successful workshops (CIAO!'10, CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences so far. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our inspiring experience of the 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 workshops, the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions during two days. The focus of discussion will be on the emerging discipline of enterprise engineering, in particular according to the Enterprise Engineering Manifesto (www.ciaonetwork.org/publications/EEManifesto.pdf). Publication ----------- The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series "Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing". The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper for possible publication at the International Journal of Information System Modeling and Design (www.igi-global.com/ijism). Submission Conditions --------------------- Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at Springer LNBIP Web page (http://www.springer.com/series/7911). Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue: Global Online Communication
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue: Global Online Communication Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 19:47:57 -0500 From: Kirk St.Amant <kirk.stamant(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers: Special Issue: Global Online Communication Global online communication has traditionally focused on adaptations to currency, time, and translation. While this triad is important to consider for a global audience, they amount to somewhat superficial adaptations. Instead, internationalization experts are increasingly concerned with how best to rethink the context of online information in respect to deep cultural factors. Much of this research is rooted in applied linguistics, information science, and social psychology. Global online communication problems amount to some of the most difficult to solve in information technology, especially in light of different political, economic, religious, and cultural values. Examples of these problems include, but are not limited to, innovative social media technologies, information overload, crowdsourcing, and proprietary versus open-source solutions. Such sociocultural complexities may be found across a wide range of information systems. While emerging technologies have improved the opportunity for people from different cultures to share enormous amounts of information, such communications come at acost. This new area of global online communication provides not only many challenges, but also many rewards. Appropriate papers will examine global online communication from a large number of perspectives. Such topics may include social media across cultures, exchanging electronic information around the world, internationalizing and localizing information systems, designing knowledge bases for different countries and cultures, developing and deploying culturally sensitive online research methodologies, conducting online business in a global market, delivering digital health and medical information to every corner of the globe, and the access and use of open-source software in a wide range of applications. The journal welcome papers from both theoretical and applied perspectives. Proposals (up to 500 words) for research papers, short best practices pieces*, and tutorials are due by November 15th, 2010. Review criteria can be found on the Journal’s website at www.rpcg.org. Proposals should be sent as an email attachment toglobal.jrpc g(a)gmail.com. Authors will be notified of acceptance by December 1st, 2010. * We strongly encourage practitioners to submit best practices pieces on any of the topics identified in this CFP, including related topics. Best practices describe the training strategies, approaches, or methods that work in a particular situation or environment. What has worked, and why? What has not worked, and what could work better? Authors may use the following optional framework for best practices pieces: title, description, methods used, results, technologies used, and lessons learned. While the proposal and review process is the same for research papers, tutorials, and best practices pieces, final manuscripts for best practices should be shorter: approximately 1000 to 3000 words in length. About the Journal The Journal of Rhetoric, Professional Communication, and Globalization publishes articles on the theory, practice, and teaching of technical and professional communication in critical global and intercultural contexts such as business, manufacturing, environment, information technology, and others. As a global initiative, the Journal welcomes manuscripts with diverse approaches and contexts of research, but manuscripts are to be submitted in English and grounded in relevant theory and appropriate research methods. The Journal is peer reviewed with an editorial board consisting of experienced researchers and practitioners from over 20 countries. The Journal is free or “open access,” using PKP open source software and housed at East Carolina University. The first edition is planned for September 2010, and it will be published thereafter on a quarterly basis.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: International Conference on DSS, June 6-7 2011, Tilburg, the Netherlands Date: Mon, 8 Nov 2010 11:24:50 +0100 From: Bartel Van de Walle <bartel(a)uvt.nl> To: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: icdss2011(a)gmail.com CALL FOR PAPERS: *ICDSS2011 - International Conference on DSS* *DSS and Global Sustainability* *June 6-7, 2011* *Tilburg University, the Netherlands* *Conference Theme: DSS and global sustainability* While papers in any area of DSS are invited, we welcome in particular for this edition of the conference contributions that highlight the contribution of Decision Support Systems to the emerging research domain of global sustainability. It is widely understood that over the next decade the global scientific community must take on the challenge of delivering to society the knowledge and information necessary to assess the risks humanity is facing from global change. It is important to understand how we can effectively mitigate dangerous changes and cope with the change that we cannot manage. This domain, defined as ‘global sustainability research’ by the International Council for Science (ICSU, www.icsu.org <http://www.icsu.org>), builds upon and integrates expertise within the sciences (social, natural, health, and engineering) and humanities and applies it to pressing coupled social-environmental research questions of human interactions with nature and earth. We believe that the field of DSS can contribute significantly to this emerging research domain. For this conference, we therefore invite contributions that focus on the design, development, implementation, use and evaluation of decision support systems that advance our responses to the following challenges: • *FORECASTING*: Improve the usefulness of forecasts of future environmental conditions and their consequences for people. A ‘useful’ forecast is considered to be one that is responsive to the needs of societies and decision-makers for information at relevant spatial and temporal scales. Forecasts should be timely, accurate, and reliable. • *OBSERVATIONS*: Develop the observation systems needed to manage global and regional environmental change. The current approach to supply information needed to manage the social-environmental system, especially at a global scale, as well as the system for delivering that information to decision-makers, must be improved. It is also important to understand how those observations are analyzed under specific social contexts, taking into account cultural and professional diversity. • *RISKS*: Determine how to anticipate, avoid and cope with the risks of global environmental change. How can improved scientific knowledge of the risks of global change and options for response most effectively catalyze and support appropriate actions by citizens and decision-makers? • *RESPONSE*: Determine what institutional and behavioural changes can best ensure global sustainability. Global change exposes gaps in social institutions, including governance and economic systems, for managing emerging global (and local) problems. The time and spatial scales of global change differ fundamentally from the types of problems that humanity has addressed in the past. Currently, decision-makers have incentives that favour short-term and private benefits, rather than long-term and collective benefits. • *INNOVATION*: Encourage innovation (coupled with sound mechanisms for evaluation) in developing technological, policy, and efficient social responses to achieve global sustainability. Which factors will positively influence feedback and learning processes to increase the capacity of citizens and decision makers? How to provide rapid and effective feedback to scientists regarding the applicability and reliability of broad findings? Please note that we also welcome papers that may not fit into the special theme of the conference, yet highlight state of the art DSS research. *CONFERENCE VENUE*: The ICDSS2011 conference is organized at Tilburg University (http://www.tilburguniversity.nl). With a population of nearly 200,000 inhabitants, Tilburg is the Netherlands' sixth largest city and is located in the South of the country, close to the Belgian border, in the Province of ‘North Brabant’. Tilburg University is nicely situated in a forested area on the outskirts of the city. Tilburg University is a relatively small and internationally oriented university with around 12,000 students in total and 750 international students from 65 countries. The university is internationally renowned for its research, especially in economics through the international research institute CentER. *Conference Proceedings - Annals of Information Systems*: Accepted contributions will be published in the ICDSS Conference Book of Abstracts. Authors of the abstracts accepted for presentation at the conference will be encouraged to develop their ideas into full papers for review and publication in the Annals of Information Systems (Kluwer). *IMPORTANT DATES*: Extended Abstract Submission deadline: February 1, 2011 Notification to Authors: March 1, 2011 Final version submission deadline (upon acceptance): April 1, 2011 Early Registration Deadline: April 1, 2011 Conference Date: June 6-7 2011 *EXTENDED ABSTRACTS SUBMISSIONS AND AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS*: We are soliciting submissions in the form of extended abstracts (two pages max, single-spaced). All extended abstracts will be reviewed for clarity, relevance and significance. The template for extended abstracts can be downloaded at http://www.iscram.org/ICDSS2011. All submissions, and any related requests, should be sent to: icdss2011_at_gmail.com <http://icdss2011_at_gmail.com> . Please include “ICDSS2011” in the header of your email. *Local Conference Organizing Committee*: Jaap van den Herik Tilburg University, the Netherlands Bartel Van de Walle Tilburg University, the Netherlands (chair) Anne Rutkowski ,Tilburg University, the Netherlands

With the conference theme, /Partners for Development: ICT Actors and Actions,/ we hope to draw special attention to the role played by multiple actors - public and private, activists and entrepreneurs as well as other kinds of intermediaries - within the ICT for development processes and their associated impacts. The conference hopes to provide a space for articulating a variety of approaches and views from these different types of actors in relation to ICT and sustainable development. In addition to papers from the field of information systems, we also invite contributions that address the conference theme from a variety of other perspectives such as development studies, political science, political economy, social anthropology, and sociology. Multidisciplinary papers and cases grounded in theory and panel proposals are very welcome. *Submissions:*All papers will be double blind reviewed. The best papers from the conference will be selected for further review and possible publication in the following journals: /Journal of Information Technology for Development; Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries; Information Technologies and International Development./ */Full Research Papers:/*Length limit - 5000 words of text excluding abstract, diagrams, tables and references */Research in Progress/Practitioner Reports:/* Length Limit - 2500 words of text excluding abstract, diagrams, tables and references. */Demos:/* Submissions in the 'ICT4D Demos' category must not exceed one A4 page (500 words maximum) and should contain title of the project, a brief description of the project and reasons for its success. If accepted, at least one of the authors should register for the conference by the registration deadline and be physically present to set up and conduct the demonstration.
