-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 20th Anniversary Special Issue of Information Systems Research Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 13:32:44 -0500 From: Sambamurthy, Vallabhajosyula <sambamurthy(a)bus.msu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Colleagues: In the next few days, you will be able to access the December issue of the Information Systems Research. Along with the regular papers, there are fifteen research commentaries to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the journal. These articles were selected through a peer review process out of an initial list of 130 proposals and, eventually, 30 full length submissions. The research commentaries are forward looking ideas about emerging phenomena and how the IS research community could develop significant research programs to study those phenomena. A list of the research commentaries that are being published is available at http://www.informs.org/Pubs/ISR/Future-Issues. I hope that these commentaries will provide meaningful guidance in our conversations and doctoral seminars. This issue completes my term as Editor-in-Chief of the journal. Professor Ritu Agarwal, University of Maryland, will be the new editor-in-chief from January 1, 2011. The transition is working smoothly. All correspondence will continue to be handled by Cindy Kindel, Managing Editor (isr(a)bus.msu.edu <mailto:isr@bus.msu.edu>). I want to thank the members of the community for their support for the journal and their contributions toward strengthening its stature as a premier journal.

cf -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: special issue on DMSS methodologies (a non-solved problem still) Date: Mon, 6 Dec 2010 13:04:09 -0600 (CST) From: Manuel Mora T. <mmora(a)securenym.net> Reply-To: mmora(a)securenym.net To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* SUBMISSION DUE DATE: May 31, 2011 SPECIAL ISSUE ON: DMSS Development Methodologies: a Software-Systems Engineering Approach INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY (IJDSST) Guest Editors: Dr. Manuel Mora, Autonomous University of Aguascalientes, México Dr. Miroljub Kljajic, University of Maribor, Slovenia Dr. Fen Wang, Central Washington University, USA Dr. Ovsei Gelman, CCADET, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, INTRODUCTION: DMSS are developed for delivering process and outcome value to individual and group-based decision-making processes (Forgionne 2000). DMSS can be considered as full technological systems; however, from a systemic view (Ackoff 1967; Kljajic and Farr, 2008), DMSS can be also defined as sub-systems of organizational management information systems that interactively support the decision-making process (Simon et al., 1997) of individuals and groups in life, public, and private organizations. Classic DMSS include Decision Support Systems (DSS) (model-based DSS including analytic, statistical-based and simulation-based types), Executive Information Systems (EIS), Expert Systems (ES), Knowledge Based Systems (KBS), and Creativity Enhancing Systems (CES) (Forgionne et al. 2005). Other DMSS, such as Executive Support systems (ESS), Management Support Systems (MSS), Artificial Intelligent Decision Support Systems (IDSS), and Decision Technology Systems (DTS), integrate the functions of DSS, EIS, ES, KBS, or CES, to provide more comprehensive support than the individual separate systems (Turban and Watson 1994; Forgionne 1991; Forgionne and Kohli 2000; Nichols and Goul 2005). Emergent and modern widely used DMSS are data-based DSS (Gray and Watson 1998; March and Hevner, 2007), Group Support Systems (Nunamaker et al. 1997; Pervan 1998), and spatial DSS (Keenan 2003; 2006). Despite their organizational success, DMSS have been developed during the last 40 years from a more art-based approach (by using general development schemes) than from Software-Systems Engineering methods (Gachet and Haettenschwiler, 2006). While several coarse-grain development paradigms such as: prototyping evolutive (Courbon 1980; Alavi and Henderson 1981; Mahmood and Medewitz 1985), adaptive (Keen 1980; Alavi and Napier 1984), or Representation-based method (Carlson 1979) have been reported, as well as general requirements engineering methods for related DMSS (for DSS see Meador et al. 1984; for EIS see Watson et al. 1991; and for Expert Systems see Turban and Aronson 1998), few software-systems engineering-based approaches (Saxena 1991; Sage 1991; Holsapple and Winston 1996; Manjarrez and Pickin 2002; Mora et al. 2010) have been used. In contrast with other types of IS, where well-structured systems development methodologies have been posed and used more systematically, practitioners and academics are confused about the available DMSS development methodologies. Consequently, organizations develop DMSS in particular modes. We believe that this DMSS topic has been taken for granted, but evidences show few standardized DMSS development methodologies (Gachet and Haettenschwiler 2006). Furthermore, DMSS development methodologies are considered as an implementation success factor (Einierman et al. 1995; Turban 1992; Watson et al. 1991) and their selection and correct application cannot be overlapped. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: Thus, in this special issue we invite researchers and practitioners to report high quality research papers on advances on both classic DMSS (model-based DMSS such as DSS, EIS, ES) and emergent and modern DMSS (data-oriented DSS, spatial DSS, and GSS) development methodologies using a robust Software-Systems Engineering approach (Jalote 1997; Sage 1981; Kljajic and Farr 2008). RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ? Descriptions and proofs of concept of DMSS development methodologies ? Comparison studies on DMSS development methodologies ? Foundations on the expected characteristics for a DMSS development methodology ? Contribution from Systems and Software Engineering to DMSS developments ? DMSS development tools and methodologies ? Survey studies on DMSS development methodologies used in the practice ? Business Intelligence and DMSS development methodologies ? Data Mining and DMSS development methodologies ? Cognitive aspect of DMSS development methodologies ? Challenges for DMSS development methodologies ? Academic teaching of DMSS development methodologies ? Industrial training of DMSS development methodologies SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on ?DMSS Development Methodologies: a Software-Systems Engineering Approach? on or before May 31, 2011. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. Interested authors should consult the journal?s guidelines for manuscript submissions at http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf. All submitted papers will be reviewed on a double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow APA style for reference citations. ABOUT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY ( IJDSST): The primary objective of the International Journal of Decision Support System Technology (IJDSST) is to provide comprehensive coverage for DMSS technology issues. The issues can involve, among other things, new hardware and software for DMSS, new models to deliver decision-making support, dialog management between the user and system, data and model base management within the system, output display and presentation, DMSS operations, and DMSS technology management. Since the technology?s purpose is to improve decision making, the articles are expected to link DMSS technology to improvements in the decision-making process as well as its outcomes. This link can be established theoretically, mathematically, or empirically in a systematic and scientific manner. This journal is an official publication of the Information Resources Management Association.

Further information regarding the journal can be found on /The DATA BASE/ web site at http://the-database.org/ * *Submission of full paper is due on *Dec 15, 2010 * *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/.

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2010 delegates photos available at: www.pixagogo.com/1676934789 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. NEWS: Thanks to authors and speakers of last WORLDCOMP congress and members of the editorial boards who informed us of the following good news: According to "Microsoft Academic Search" (a Microsoft initiative) all tracks of WORLDCOMP are listed as worldwide "Top-ranked Conferences" (based on various metrics but mainly based on the number of citations). You can access "Microsoft Academic Search" and specific information extracted from it (in reference to WORLDCOMP's individual conferences' names/acronyms and tracks) from the link below: http://www.worldacademyofscience.org/worldcomp10/ws/news =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This email was sent to: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at To opt out of this email list: http://world-comp.org/cgi-bin/rm/full.cgi?60DD6214-5F75-11DE-8C2B-D40E0F3C4…
