CALL FOR PAPERS
17th Americas Conference on Information Systems
(http://amcis2011.aisnet.org)
August 4-7, 2011, Detroit, MI, USA
TRACK: Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management
MINITRACK: Design, operations, and consolidation of BI applications
MINITRACK DESCRIPTION
Broadly defined, business intelligence (BI) refers to applications,
technologies, and processes for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing
data to help business users make better decisions. Continuing the tradition
of decision support systems, BI has received considerable attention in
practice and academia over the last decades. According to IBM's 2009 Global
CIO Study, where more than 2,500 chief information officers worldwide point
to BI and analytics as the top visionary plan for enhancing their companies'
competitiveness, BI's importance is likely to increase even further. Besides
enabling organizational transformation, BI initiatives mainly focus on the
development of BI applications and infrastructure (e. g. data warehouses or
data marts).
Despite obvious opportunities, BI applications and infrastructure also have
a downside risk. Some examples: High storage capacity and powerful analytic
functionality do not only enable to better understand complex business
problems. They also catalyze information overload, which reduces decision
quality, induces mental stress, and causes avoidable costs. Moreover,
decision models by trend exhibit high mathematical complexity and
intransparent preconditions for application. This corrupts both the
credibility and understandability of decision recommendations - particularly
in the case of oversimplifying presentations. With most decision makers
heavily trusting in their BI applications' recommendations and content - at
the latest until the recent global financial crisis -, performing multiple
tasks simultaneously, and making decisions under time pressure, there is a
considerable risk of "wrong decisions" with high economic impact.
Thus, BI applications and infrastructure play an important role in
information provision and corporate performance. For that they help realize
opportunities and mitigate risks, research needs to provide both theoretical
insights into and practical methods for the design, operations, and
consolidation of BI applications. This minitrack aims at serving as a
platform for related research results.
RESEARCH COVERAGE
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
. Cost-benefit-analysis for BI applications
. Information requirements analysis for BI applications
. Approaches to coping with information overload
. Data visualization and visual analytics
. Potentials of meta data usage
. Design and consolidation of data warehouses and data marts
. BI and business process management
. BI and business performance management
. Consolidation of historically grown BI applications
. Operational BI
. BI performance metrics
. BI strategy and BI maturity
. BI governance
. BI success factors
. Process models for introducing BI applications
We invite contributions from various disciplines including information
systems, information management, computer science, cognitive science,
economics, and management in order to properly deal with the various facets
of the design, operations, and consolidation of BI applications. We also
encourage papers applying quantitative and qualitative, empirical and
theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research,
surveys, experiments, and design science.

Overview
Mobility represents a natural human state, hence mobile commerce
(m-commerce) has been hailed as the complement, and in many aspects a
natural successor to traditional desk-bound e-commerce. The proliferation of
smartphones and wireless networks has brought the dream of seamless mobility
and always-on connectivity closer to reality - albeit not without new
challenges related to technologies, platforms, systems, applications, and
business models to name but a few.
The goal of this special issue is to report frontier research addressing the
current status and future prospects of m-commerce and to reflect on business
innovation and social transformation through mobility. The issue aims to
offer an integrated view of the field by presenting approaches originating
from and drawing upon multiple disciplines.
The special issue welcomes theoretical, experimental, or survey-based
studies that make a significant novel contribution to the field. Submissions
should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently
under review by another conference or journal. Topics include, but are not
limited to, the following:
. Theoretical foundations of m-commerce
. Mobile-driven business models
. User behavior and innovation diffusion in m-commerce
. Context-aware and location-aware business
. Mobile communities and social networking
. Strategies, policies, economics and societal implications of m-commerce
. Privacy, security, trust and regulation in m-commerce
. Innovation in horizontal and vertical applications: mHealth; mGovernment;
mLearning; mEntertainment; mPayments; mMarketing/Advertising; mSCM/CRM;
mParticipation; and others
Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts should be sent electronically to the guest editors. All
submissions should conform to the journal's formatting guidelines, which are

to support collaboration, and studies dealing with the appropriation of
these technologies. Conceptual work related to theory building is
encouraged, as well.
ECSCW is interested in cooperative settings in the workplace, in
everyday life, and the civic society, and across boundaries between
these spheres of life. Submissions should address the unfolding
practices of everyday work and life, and the application of computing
technologies in these practices. Papers may also focus on design of such
technologies or on historical accounts of use. With design is meant
processes, methods, and outcoming artefacts. ECSCW solicits reports
reflecting a rich variety of quantitative and qualitative research
methods, including field studies and participatory approaches.
The conference is soliciting high quality contributions that report:
- novel techniques and technologies relevant to CSCW,
- empirical studies of work that contribute to the design space of CSCW,
- enhancement of the conceptual foundations of CSCW.
In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that focus on:
- Empirical studies of collaboration in settings ranging from work to
civic engagement and everyday life.
- Comparative analyses of empirical studies that contribute to a deeper
understanding of domain specific or more general CSCW principles.
- Empirical studies on the appropriation of innovative technologies.
- Innovative technologies, applications, or functionality in support of
collaborative work.
- Investigations into the usage and design of coordination artifacts as
well as webs of technology (infrastructures).
- New technology-enabled forms of organization and virtual organizing.
- Collaboratories, distributed scientific work, and CSCW aspects of
e-science.
- Studies dealing with the technology induced reshaping of the division
of labor between customers and producers and within the supply chain,
e.g. prosuming phenomena.
- Studies of intercultural cooperation, such as in globally engaged
enterprises, multinational organizations, international NGOs, networks
of the civil society, and off-shoring relationships.
- Studies on collaborative work in emergent and developing economies.
- Conception, construction and use of CSCW technologies in complex and
demanding settings, like manufacturing, software engineering,
healthcare, care giving, security, and control systems.
- Ubiquitous and mobile computing in collaborative settings: empirical
research of use, studies of integration with other CSCW technologies and
applications.
- Integration of CSCW technologies with existing infrastructures, such
as information systems, production systems, decision support systems,
and knowledge management systems.
- Conception, construction, and use of innovative interaction modes for
CSCW applications, e.g. interfaces and supportive functionalities for
universal access.
- Architectures supporting CSCW technologies with quality requirements,
such as flexibility, tailorability, and adaptability.
- Innovative use of social media to support collective action.
- Studies of collaboration across time, including knowledge management
and expertise sharing.
All contributions will be rigorously evaluated in terms of their
novelty, significance, quality, and contribution to the discipline.
Accepted research papers and notes will be included in the conference
proceedings published by Springer and freely available at the ECSCW
website at: www.ecscw.org. They will also be indexed in and available

The International Conference on Ambient Systems, Networks and
Technologies (ANT-2011) is a leading international conference which
provides an international forum for researchers, developers and
practitioners from academia, industry, and government to address
research challenges and to present and discuss research ideas,
developments and experiences related to the ambient systems
infrastructure, models, and technologies.
The general aim of ambient systems is to provide an environment
wherein computing devices exist anywhere and everywhere. In such
systems mobile and embedded computing devices form ad hoc
collaboration using different communication networks (e.g., wireless
networks, RFID, etc) in order to share and exchange information and
provide services. Ambient systems pose new research challenges due to
the open and unreliable nature of the environment and the complexity
and heterogeneity of the computing devices and the underlying
communication networks. These characteristics challenge traditional
techniques and demand new ways of approaching the problems related to
the ambient systems.

Description
During the past decades the main problem in geographical analysis was the lack of spatial data availability. Nowadays the wide diffusion of electronic devices containing geo-referenced information generates a great production of spatial data. Volunteered geographic information activities (e.g. Wikimapia, OpenStreetMap), public initiatives (e.g. Spatial Data Infrastructures, Geo-portals) and private projects (e.g. Google Earth, Microsoft Virtual Earth, etc.) produced an overabundance of spatial data, which, in many cases, does not help the efficiency of decision processes. The increase of geographical data availability has not been fully coupled by an increase of knowledge to support spatial decisions. The inclusion of spatial simulation techniques in recent GIS software favoured the diffusion of these methods, but in several cases led to the mechanism based on which buttons have to pressed without having geography or processes in mind. Spatial modelling, analytical techniques and geographical analyses are therefore required in order to analyse data and to facilitate the decision process at all levels, with a clear identification of the geographical information needed and reference scale to adopt. Old geographical issues can find an answer thanks to new methods and instruments, while new issues are developing, challenging the researchers for new solutions. This workshop aims at contributing to the development of new techniques and methods to improve the process of knowledge acquisition.
The programme committee especially requests high quality submissions on the following Conference Themes :
