-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: AMCIS 2011 Minitrack on "IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement" Datum: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 17:18:31 +0100 Von: Nils.Urbach(a)ebs.edu An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2011) August 4-7, 2011 (Thursday-Sunday) Detroit Marriott Hotel (http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/dtwdt-detroit-marriott-at-the-renaiss…) Track: Economics and Value of Information Systems Minitrack: IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement DESCRIPTION Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) has been increasing for many years. For 2011, Gartner expects the total expenditure on IT to reach 2.5 trillion US dollars (Gartner 2010). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of IS failures are still emerging. The measurement of investments and developed systems’ success, as well as the paradox of high investments and low productivity returns (“productivity paradox”) (Brynjolfsson 1993) therefore remains a top concern for both practitioners and researchers. During the last two and a half decades, research on measuring IS success – the clarification of an important dependent variable in IS research – has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success (e.g., DeLone and McLean 1992, 1993) and identify the various causes of success or failure respectively, mostly from an individual perspective. Complementary, the research stream on the business value of IT (e.g., Kohli and Grover 2008, Melville et al. 2004) has focused on the benefits from a broader – in most cases the organizational – perspective. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to present their research into strategies, methodologies, tools, and stories that relate to the evaluation of IT/IS and IS/IT performance measurement. SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness and IT business value * Measuring IS success/IT business value in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success/IT business value * Critical discussion of existing approaches * IS success factors and key performance indicators * Qualitative and quantitative evaluation techniques * Benefits management/measurement * Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries * Empirical studies evaluating different topics and kinds of IS such as - Customer Relationship Management Systems - Project (Portfolio) Management Systems - Knowledge Management Systems - Decision Support Systems - Collaborative Systems - Enterprise Systems - Management topics (e.g. IS strategies, IS governance) - IT service management frameworks * Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation IMPORTANT DATES * Dec 30, 2010: AIS review system will begin accepting submissions for AMCIS 2011 * Feb 17, 2010: Full paper submission deadline * Mar 24, 2011: Authors notified of paper acceptance decision * April 21, 2011: Camera-ready papers due PAPER SUBMISSION Paper can be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2011.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Last call for chapter proposals: Handbook of Research on E-Business Standards and Protocols
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Dec '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Last call for chapter proposals: Handbook of Research on E-Business Standards and Protocols Datum: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 09:29:49 +0100 Von: Ejub Kajan <ejubkajan(a)sbb.rs> Antwort an: kajane(a)acm.org Organisation: State University of Novi Pazar An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: ekajan(a)ieee.org, kajane(a)acm.org LAST CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: January 11, 2011 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.

We consider an economy based on the digitization of information and the respective information and communication infrastructure as digital economy. This new type of economy implies not only technological, but also and especially structural and process-related challenges and potential. The way in which economic value is created will change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the structure of economies and societies. This evolution will radically alter processes and structures within and between industries leading to the digital economy. All of these developments characterize the emerging digital economy and cause new challenges businesses have to cope with. This clearly will have a major impact on how business models have to be designed. Therefore this minitrack addresses all topics concerned with the analysis, design, development, implementation, and control of future business models for the creation of economic value in the digital economy from a communication, organizational, business, economic, and managerial perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or practical approach. For the history of the minitrack see http://www.amcis-businessmodels.hdzimmermann.net/ SUGGESTED TOPICS Challenges and foundations of the digital economY Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models Design approaches/methods for new business models Models and modeling techniques/approaches for new business models Industry perspectives on business models Challenges of converging industries: Financial industry (e.g., emerging intermediaries, private/retail banking, insurance) Media industry (e.g., publishing, music business) Telecommunications (e.g., mobile network operators) A business model perspective on Mobile Business 'Ubiquitous Commerce' 'Collaborative Commerce' Social Commerce Social Media based business models Trust and new business models IMPORTANT DATES Dec 30, 2010: AIS review system will begin accepting submissions for AMCIS 2011 Feb 17, 2010: Full paper submission deadline Mar 24, 2011: Authors notified of paper acceptance decision April 21, 2011: Camera-ready papers due PAPER SUBMISSION Paper can be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2011.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers and Posters - ITI 2010 Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 00:43:24 -0500 From: Maggie Kempken <mkempken(a)meetingexpectations.com> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers and Posters ITI 2010 32nd International Conference on INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INTERFACES (http://iti.srce.hr/index.php/ITI/index/pages/view/minitrack) June 27-30, 2010, Cavtat / Dubrovnik / Croatia Mini-track: Leveraging IS for Competitiveness in Transition Economies Transition economies typically cover the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union. This term however has a much wider context of applicability and includes economies that are emerging from a socialist-type command economy structure and moving towards a market-based orientation. As such transition economies could also include countries from Latin America, South and South East Asia. The challenges these economies face are complex with new rules being defined and refined. Increasingly IT readiness and innovation are being viewed as engines of growth to help facilitate and accelerate processes to facilitate the needed change. In this mini-track researchers will have an opportunity to collectively explore how Information Systems, associated technology and organizational enablement can be an accelerator for change; provide the needed transparency in processes to effectively support governance, compliance and controls and provide the economic/financial justification to allow these economies to hasten their alignment with established market based economies. The mini-track will be a forum to address IT enablement for competitiveness, along with novel strategies and methods for attaining the goal of advancing business with IT. We expect contributions that will be theory driven and will draw upon a variety of research methods ranging empirical and analytical to qualitative case studies. Selected papers from the Minitrack will be considered for publishing in a special issue of a leading Information Systems journal. RELEVANT TOPICS for this minitrack include (but are not restricted to) the following: .E-readiness as a way to Global Information Society -- Implications for Transition economies .Shaping digital divide: gender, sex and race differences; ideo-political and socio-economic influence; income, education and infrastructure prerequisites .Predicting new technologies adoption in emerging economies .Formulation national information technology strategies .Development of collaborative systems, decision support systems, business process management systems and competitive intelligence in emerging economies settings .Electronic payment, electronic banking, and e-trade in emerging economies: countries' and firms' perspectives .Impact of firm size, integration and ownership on new information technology adoption .Cultural differences: impact of ICT to corporate performance and workplace productivity .Multinational and comparative studies for information systems management issues .Information technology usage and national efficiency and competitiveness .Property and information rights (privatization, entrepreneurship, etc.) .Information and Technology Policies .Technology transfer (perhaps from companies in developed countries) / Foreign Investment .Labor Issues (skilled labor, imported labor, etc.) .Trust .Growth strategies for firms .Govt. regulations, Internet use and its impact .Institutions and impact of ICT on policy changes CONTACT PERSONS: Ajay S.

As of 2010, BPMDS is officially linked on an ongoing basis to the CAiSE conference series (http://www.caise2011.com). - International Federation for Information Processing Working Group 8.1 (IFIP WG 8.1) (https://research.idi.ntnu.no/ifip-wg81/). Sponsor since 2009. ABOUT THE BPMDS CONFERENCE: -------------------------- The topics addressed by the BPMDS series are focused on IT support for business processes. This is one of the keystones of Information Systems theory. We strongly believe that any major conference in the area of Information Systems needs to address such topics independently of the current fashion. The continued interest in these topics on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the last BPMDS workshops and the recent emergence of new conferences devoted to the theme. The BPMDS series has produced eleven workshops from 1998 to 2010. From 2011, BPMDS becomes a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). While changing the status of BPMDS, we preserve the basic principles of the BPMDS series: 1. BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development 2. The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3. Each event has a theme that is, from now, mandatory for visionary papers. 4. Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found on the web site: http://www.ibissoft.se/bpmds.html BACKGROUND AND AIMS: ------------------- Previously, each event had a relatively narrow theme, different each year, related to the current progress in the area of BPM. Our intention is now to solicit papers related to Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) in general, using quality as a main selection criterion, instead of relevance to a narrower theme. As a working conference, we would like to attract more papers describing mature research, still giving place to industrial reports and visionary papers. In addition, we will have a theme whose relevance will be the main criterion for the selection of visionary papers only. We no longer require for full research papers and experience reports to be directly connected to this theme (they still need to be explicitly relevant to BPMDS though). We only suggest to the authors of research papers and experience reports, wherever possible, to make connection to the theme. The theme chosen for BPMDS'11 visionary papers is Making BPM theory work in practice: "There is nothing more practical then a good theory (Kurt Levin)" We invite the visionaries (from research and industry) to exploit this theme in relation to BPMDS. We also welcome research papers that include ideas on how theoretical results discussed can be used in practice, as well as experience reports on using theories in practice. TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION: ---------------------- Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Theoretical foundations for analyzing, modeling, simulating or executing business processes - Business process modeling languages, notations and methods - Multi-perspectives on business process modeling: integration and coherence - A broad view on strategy, business processes, people and IT: alignment, fit and coherence - Dynamic configuration; modeling by reuse - Granularity, development of reusable and context-aware components; modeling for reuse - Domain specific reference models - Business-IT alignment through business processes - Resource management in business process modeling and support - User-oriented aspects of the business process modeling and support - Cross-organizational business processes - Business process change management and governance issues - Verification and validation of business process models - Variability and adaptability of business process models - Efficiency, adequacy, flexibility, agility, compliance, reliability, security in business process modeling and execution - Metrics, maturity and continuous improvement - Business process support architectures and platforms - BPMDS based on a service-oriented architecture - BPMDS combined with social software and social networks - Mobile technologies and context aware business process modelling SUBMISSIONS: ----------- Papers submission deadline: February 25th, 2011 Prospective conference participants are invited to submit a paper that concerns business process modeling and development, and business process support (development of software dedicated to business processes) and that may be related to one or more of the topics for discussion listed above. We solicit the papers (both research papers and experience reports) that contain results worth of discussion. For research papers, it means that reported research should be in an advance stage and a paper includes results and at least partial evaluation. Thus three kinds of submissions are possible. (1) Full research papers of up to 15 pages. (2) Experience reports of up to 15 pages (which should follow guidelines in http://processplatsen.ibissoft.se/node/72). (3) Visionary papers of up to 8 pages, devoted to research in progress or to position papers; the compliance to the theme is mandatory for visionary papers. Please follow the LNCS format instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html for all of them. Papers should be submitted in Adobe PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. The papers should be submitted through the conference management system available at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmds2011 E-mail also your abstract as an attachment to mailto:selmin.nurcan@univ-paris1.fr PUBLICATIONS: ------------ The conference proceedings will be published in a Springer LNBIP volume (joint with EMMSAD), under the title of "Enterprise, Business-Process and Information Systems Modeling” as the two previous years. The proceedings of BPMDS’09 and BPMDS’10 have been published under the references LNBIP 29 and JNBIP 50. After the BPMDS’11 conference, extended versions of the accepted papers will be considered for publishing in a special issue of an international journal (previous special issues: BPMDS’09 in IJISMD under press - BPMDS’08 in SPIP in progress - BPMDS'07 in IJBPIM, vol. 4, issue 2, 2009 - BPMDS'06 in IJBPIM, vol. 3, issue 1, 2008 - BPMDS'05 in SPIP, vol. 12, issue 1, 2007 - BPMDS'04 in SPIP vol. 10, issue 4, 2005& REJ vol. 10, issue 3, 2005.

13 Dec '10

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call For Chapters: Measuring Organizational Information Systems Success: New Technologies and Practices Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:24:41 +0800 From: Zakariya Belkhamza <zakariya(a)ustc.edu> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *FIRST CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS* "Measuring Organizational Information Systems Success: New Technologies and Practices" *Proposal Submission Deadline: January 15, 2011* A book edited by Dr. Zakariya Belkhamza and Dr. Syed Azizi Wafa *Introduction* Recently, research on measuring the success of information systems in organizations has proliferated and has nearly become a standalone stream within the information systems research field. This research stream is considered one of the top ten issues of information systems management. However, more research is needed to identify factors that contribute to information systems effectiveness. To date, a number of information systems success models have been introduced, such as the McLean and DeLone IS Success model and Seddon's Model. However, the scope and approach of these IS success studies has created little consensus on the assessment of IS success. New approaches may better identify, explain, and improve the various measurements of these models. *Objectives of the Book* This book will establish and explore existing and emerging theories on information systems success, present the latest empirical research findings in the area of information systems success and measurement from an organizational perspective, and explore new technologies and practices in this area. The purpose of this book is to expand the knowledge and understanding of information systems success and measurement for a better and successful implementation in organizations. *Target Audience* The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information systems success and measurement. Moreover, the book will also be a reference for researchers, professionals and students in management information systems science and related fields. The book will also be useful for practitioners, information systems managers, CEOs, CIOs who are responsible for implementing various information systems in their businesses and organizations. *Recommended topics* include, but are not limited to, the following: ·Information systems success theories and models ·Information systems Success measurement ·Organizational issues with respect to information systems success and measurement ·Information systems success and measurement implementation issues ·Case studies and practical application into information systems success and measurement ·Empirical validation of information systems success models ·Critics and analysis on information systems success models ·Information systems success and managerial issues ·Methodological issues on information systems success. *Submission Procedure* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before *January 15, 2011*, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified *by January 30, 2011* about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters of 8,000-9,000 words are expected to be submitted by *May 15, 2011*. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. *Publisher* The book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the "Information Science Reference" (formerly Idea Group Reference), "Medical Information Science Reference," "Business Science Reference," and "Engineering Science Reference" imprints. For additional information regarding the publisher, please visit www.igi-global.com. *Important Dates * *January 15, 2011:* Proposal Submission Deadline *January 30, 2011:* Notification of Acceptance *May 15, 2011:* Full Chapter Submission *July 15, 2011:* Review Results Returned *August 15, 2011:* Final Chapter Submission *September 15, 2011*: Final Deadline *Inquiries and submissions can be forwarded electronically (Word document): * Dr. Zakariya Belkhamza School of Business and Economics Universiti Malaysia Sabah Tel.: +60-0168393925 E-mail: zakariya(a)ustc.edu
