We had learned indirectly that his 80th birthday on December 8, 2010 would coincide with the publication of this issue, and would like to extend our celebratory congratulations to him as well as to convey our appreciation of his lifelong scholarly contributions. We also want to wish him many more productive and healthy years. Professor Gray was the author of one of the first papers on group decision support systems and the creator of one of the first decision rooms when he was at Southern Methodist University. He has continued to make important contributions to understanding decision support systems and decision making over the last four decades. Paul Gray is Professor Emeritus and Founding Chair of Information Science at Claremont Graduate University. He specializes in information systems, particularly decision support systems, knowledge management, data warehousing and electronic commerce. Before coming to Claremont in 1983, he was a professor at Stanford University, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Southern California, and Southern Methodist University. He was a professor for over 30 years and served as department chair for 15 years. Prior to his academic career, he worked for 16 years in research and development organizations including nine years at SRI International. His PhD is in Operations Research from Stanford University. He retired in May 2001, but continues to teach, do research, consult, and to curate the Paul Gray PC Museum at Claremont Graduate University. Professor Gray was awarded the LEO Award of the Association for Information Systems for lifetime achievement. He has been inducted as a Fellow of the Association of Information Systems, and a Fellow of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences -- and in both cases was in the first group of Fellows named.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for papers for a Special Issue of the Australasian Journal of Information Systems (AJIS) on Qualitative Methods in IS/IT Research: Issues, Contributions and Challenges. Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 20:36:38 +1000 From: Bruce Rowlands <B.Rowlands(a)griffith.edu.au> To: IS-hods(a)postoffice.utas.edu.au, IS-Aus(a)postoffice.utas.edu.au, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for papers for a Special Issue of the Australasian Journal of Information Systems (AJIS) on Qualitative Methods in IS/IT Research: Issues, Contributions and Challenges. *Guest co-editors* Wasana Bandara - Queensland University of Technology, Australia, w.bandara(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:w.bandara@qut.edu.au> Walter D Fernández - The Australian National University, Australia, walter.fernandez(a)anu.edu.au <mailto:walter.fernandez@anu.edu.au%20> Bruce Rowlands - Griffith University, Australia, B.Rowlands(a)griffith.edu.au <mailto:B.Rowlands@griffith.edu.au> *Motivation and overview* Qualitative research methods are widely accepted in Information Systems and multiple approaches have been successfully used in IS qualitative studies over the years. These approaches include narrative analysis, discourse analysis, grounded theory, case study, ethnography and phenomenological analysis. Guided by critical, interpretive and positivist epistemologies (Myers 1997), qualitative methods are continuously growing in importance in our research community. The aim of this AJIS Special Issue is to provide a forum within which we can present and debate the significant number of issues, results and questions arising from the pluralistic approach to qualitative research in Information Systems. We recognise both the potential and the challenges that qualitative approaches offers for accessing the different layers and dimensions of a complex and constructed social reality (Orlikowski 1993). The Special Issue is also a response to the need to showcase the current state of the art in IS Qualitative research and highlight advances and issues encountered in the process of continuous learning that includes questions about its ontology, epistemological tenets, theoretical contributions and practical applications. *Research questions* We invite contributions from those working with qualitative research methods in the areas of information technology, information systems, software engineering, business, social and health informatics. We are interested in submissions that address a range of ontological, epistemological and practical issues in qualitative research including, but not limited to, the following questions and topics: * Papers showing critical methodological challenges when applying qualitative methods in IS/IT research. * Ontological and epistemological issues in qualitative research. * Innovative applications of qualitative methods in IS/IT studies. * Social and ethical considerations in qualitative research. * Issues of design, data gathering, data analysis and interpretation. * Qualitative research which uses information technology to generate and/or collect qualitative data (e.g. blogs, emails). * The use of software tools designed expressively for the qualitative researcher (e.g. Nvivo, Atlas, Leximancer etc). *Deadlines and submission dates* Two page outline prior full paper deadline (is optional) - guest editors can advise on the suitability of a proposed paper submission. * March 11th, 2011: Deadline call for papers. * May 6th, 2011: First review cycle completed. * July 22nd, 2011: Second review cycle and final acceptance. * September 1st, 2011: Camera-ready papers for productions. * 1st 2nd Quarter 2012: Planned publication. *Information for authors* All papers should follow the AJIS author guidelines available at: http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis/about/submissions#authorGuidelines The length of the manuscript should be commensurate with content, but should not exceed 30 pages (double spaced, including tables and diagrams, but not including abstract and references). Where manuscripts exceed 30 pages justification needs to be made to the editor. Completed paper will be submitted via the AJIS submission system. Authors need to register in the AJIS system (you can register through the AJIS home page http://dl.acs.org.au/index.php/ajis/index). Once registered, log on to 'User home' and select a 'Start a New Submission'.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] Springer Journal of Network and Systems Management -- Special Issue on "Cloud Computing, Networking, and Service (CCNS) Management" Date: Mon, 06 Dec 2010 23:54:39 +0100 From: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)um.es> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CfP. ========================================================================================================================================== Call for Papers Springer Journal of Network and Systems Management (http://www.springer.com/computer/communication+networks/journal/10922) Special Issue on "Cloud Computing, Networking, and Service (CCNS) Management" CfP URL: http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/cfp-10922… Paper submission date: June 15, 2011 Impact Factor: 1.356 (Q1 in Telecommunications and Q2 in Computer Science, Information Systems), Journal Citation Reports, Thomson Reuters ========================================================================================================================================== Cloud computing, networking, and their related service management including grid computing (as appropriate) have recently emerged out of marketing hype to viable computing/networking tools for reducing infrastructure deployment and service management costs without sacrificing the quality of service/experience (QoS/E). Although the virtualization of computing and networking resources, and their self-organizing interconnection is at the heart of it, the methods/mechanisms/tools that are used to expose (visualization) resources and their utilization (the application programming interfaces of APIs) for developing anything (*) as a service (*aaS) are still ad-hoc and/or proprietary in nature. Security, privacy, and multi-tenancy support requirements add another dimension to the already complex set of Cloud —computing and networking— management problems. This JNSM SI on CCNS management will include invited and referee-recommended papers on the following topics: - Cloud Applications and Services --> Any computing, data-storing, and networking as a service - API for enabling Cloud-based Services --> Public, Private, and Hybrid (toolkit approach) APIs - Virtualization (of any and all resources) and Hosting --> Virtualization of Clients/Desktop, Applications, Services, and Databases --> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Storage/FileSystems/Database --> Distributed Intra- and Inter-Domain Scheduling of resources --> Resources Mobility and Multi-tenancy - Protocols and Interoperability --> Adaptive Protocols for Generic Cloud Services --> Inter-Domain Service-Specific Adaptive Protocols - Private, Public, Community, Hybrid Clouds --> Addressability, Networking Extensions, Service Quality Agreement - Cloud Service Logging and Monitoring --> Including Auditing and Verification - Soft and Hard Privacy and Security for Cloud-based Services --> Process, Practice and Mechanisms - Risk, Resiliency, and SLA (RRS) of Services in Clouds --> Risk-tolerance, MMTF, MMTR, etc. for Components and Apps/Services (End-to-End) - Cloud Service and Infrastructure Management --> Including Visualization, Automation, Debugging and Diagnosis - Reports from CCNS management Experiments and Filed Deployments --> University, Consortia, Industry/ Field Trials, etc. - Mobility Management in Cloud Computing --> Cloud service hosting mobility and service migration --> Elastic computing using mobile codes - Policy management in Cloud computing --> Regulations and export control of using Cloud computing Important dates =============== Paper submission date: June 15, 2011 Notification of acceptance: November 30, 2011 Final paper due: April 15, 2012 Publication date: September 2012 Guest Editors =============== - Bhumip Khasnabish, ZTE USA, Inc.
