-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] IT in Transition Economies: CFP Information Systems Management Datum: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:58:14 -0400 Von: narcyz roztocki <roztockn(a)newpaltz.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers: Information Systems Management (ISM) Special Issue on Information Technology in Transition Economies Editor-in-Chief Janice Sipior, School of Business, Villanova University, USA ISM 2008 Impact Factor: 1.242 http://www.informaworld.com/10580530 http://www.tandf.co.uk/10580530 Information Technology in Transition Economies Special Issue for Summer 2011 Deadline for full paper submission: September 15, 2010 Call for Papers in PDF Format: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/cfp/uismcfp2.pdf Information Technology in Transition Economies Guest Editors: Narcyz Roztocki, SUNY at New Paltz, and H. Roland Weistroffer, Virginia Commonwealth University You are cordially invited to submit an original manuscript for a special issue of Information Systems Management on Information Technology in Transition Economies. This special issue seeks submissions on the implementation, use, and performance of information systems and technology in the context of countries in transition from centrally planned to market driven economies, especially the countries that resulted from the break-up of the Soviet Union and other countries of the former Eastern Bloc. Transition economies, encompassing approximately one third of the world population, are characterized by a substantial rising middle class population creating increasing domestic consumer demand, but also by frequent changes in the regulatory environment and thus some economic uncertainty with various social and business implications. Although many of the changes in the economic structure and business environment of transition economies were and are facilitated by information technology (IT), the main stream of information systems research remains focused on concerns relevant primarily to a narrow group of highly developed countries. This scarcity of research dealing specifically with the issues affecting information technology implementation, use, and performance in the changing business and cultural environments in transition economies provides motivation for this special issue. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following: - IT strategy in transition economies - Economics of IT in transition economies - IT productivity and performance at the country, industry or firm level - Comparative cross-country research - Country specific case studies focusing on issues peculiar to transition economies - Risk analyses highlighting issues peculiar to transition economies - Global supply chain management and its effect on transition economies - IT off-shoring / IT outsourcing into transition economies - IT back-sourcing from transition economies - International IT project management, focusing on characteristics of transition economies - Human factors and their effect on IT system design and use in transition economies - Digital divide in the context of transition economies - E-commerce and its effect on transition economies - E-government in transition economies - IT education in transition economies - Legal and fiscal policies regarding IT investments in transition economies - Success factors in IT implementation in transition economies - Exemplary models of IT implementation and use in transition economies Consistent with the focus of the Information Systems Management journal, the emphasis will be on managerial challenges and approaches to address these challenges, case examples from the field, and/or innovative or unique practices. All papers should clearly state how they contribute to the understanding of IS/IT in transition economies. How are the findings different from what one would expect in fully developed market economies? How may transition economies benefit from these studies? A typical paper length is about 7500 words, exclusive of exhibits. The review process for ISM is double-blind; therefore, please remove author name(s), their biographical notes, or any acknowledgements from your manuscript file. Do include a title, abstract, and keywords within your manuscript file. Short biographies, with contact information, for all authors should be submitted as a supplemental file at the time of submission, along with an indication of the corresponding author. For details, please refer to the Instructions for Authors posted at the Information Systems Management journal website: http://www.informaworld.com/10580530 Please submit papers via email to both guest editors simultaneously: Narcyz Roztocki (roztockn(a)newpaltz.edu) and H. Roland Weistroffer (hrweistr(a)vcu.edu) Deadline for submission: September 15, 2010 Initial decision notification to authors: November 15, 2010 Deadline for revised papers: December 15, 2010 Notification of final acceptances: January 15, 2011 Deadline for final versions: February 15, 2011 Tentative Publication Date: Summer 2011 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: ISJ Special Issue on Virtual Worlds as Information Systems Datum: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 09:04:04 +1000 Von: Jan Recker <j.recker(a)qut.edu.au> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Information Systems Journal (ISJ) -- Special Issue "Virtual Worlds as Information Systems"* *Aims and Background* Virtual worlds have garnered unprecedented profile in both the media and academic research. Many IS Managers in their thirties have gained experience with 3D environments via gaming, and the appearance of game ready commodity hardware means that virtual worlds are now feasible as an Enterprise-wide Information System rollout. 3D virtual world interfaces are now increasingly used across a company as complementary information spaces, to web-based and other system services. This strong momentum in IS practice, however, has not yet been matched by an intense academic focus. In particular, what is lacking is an in depth analysis of these worlds as potential business information systems interfaces, and their relevant design and use consequences. The *aim of this special issue* is to provide a forum to present and discuss the emerging role of virtual world technology in the information systems community. The special issue explicitly advocates multi-disciplinary approaches that expand and integrate the current isolated research efforts in this exciting new area of IS research. The special issue specifically aims at reporting on and discussing empirical and theoretical research in the use of Virtual World technology in Information Systems. In particular, we hope to provide a picture of the present state of international research with regards to how virtual worlds can shape the design, analysis, use, or management of information systems in organizations. We encourage submissions that report on the use of research methods including experiments, surveys, case studies, focus groups and/or other empirical methods for the discovery of insights in the deployment, uptake, use, success or failure of Virtual World technologies in enterprises. Research contributed may range through various aspects of virtual world information systems, from development and integration, to impact studies on users. We *especially would like to encourage submissions on atypical usage of such worlds* for Information System domains, in order that new and novel research may be brought to the attention of the international IS research community. In addition, we welcome papers that present, introduce or *discuss novel approaches* to emerging virtual world research, as this new domain will inspire different investigative approaches. Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to: - Social networking and communication in virtual worlds - Virtual teams, collective cognition, and group performance, in virtual worlds - Entrepreneurship in virtual worlds - Virtual World technology and Interactive Systems Design - System demonstrations and simulations - In-world Information System modeling - Human Computer Interaction - Interfacing and integration of virtual world technology with other Information Systems - Representations of Information Systems as virtual services - Virtual world technology in IS education and training - Adoption of Virtual World technologies and systems in corporate practice - Diffusion of Virtual World technologies in social networking systems - Virtual World technologies and co-creation of IT value *Submission Guidelines* Manuscripts should not normally exceed 7000 words and should be submitted online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/isj. Authors will have to select Special Issue Submission as the manuscript type. Author guidelines are available at 'author guidelines' at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/isj/. All submissions will be peer-reviewed following the double-blind review process of ISJ. The objective is to apply very high standards of acceptance while ensuring fair, timely and efficient review cycles. * * *Timeline* Full initial paper submission deadline : 30 August 2010 First Review deadline : 30 November 2010 Revised paper submission deadline: (if required) 30 January 2011 Second Review deadline: 15 March 2011 Camera-ready paper submission deadline: 30 April 2011 Publication of special issue: mid-2011 *Guest Editors:* * * *Dr Ross Brown * Information Systems Discipline Queensland University of Technology Office 508 / 126 Margaret Street Tel: +61 7 3138 9481 Fax: +61 7 3138 9390 Brisbane QLD 4000, Australia Email r.brown(a)qut.edu.au Webpage http://www.bpmve.org * * *Dr Andrew Hardin* College of Business Department of Management Information Systems 4505 Maryland Parkway Box 456034 Tel: (702) 895-0447 Fax: (702) 895-0802 Las Vegas, NV 89154-6034 Email andrew.hardin(a)unlv.edu <mailto:andrew.hardin@unlv.edu> Webpage http://faculty.unlv.edu/ahardin/ *Dr David Kreps* Salford Business School University of Salford 43 The Crescent Tel: +44 (0) 161 295 5884 Fax: +44 (0) 161 295 5999 Manchester, M5 4WT, United Kingdom Email D.G.Kreps(a)salford.ac.uk Webpage http://www.business.salford.ac.uk/staff/davidkreps *Dr Jan Recker* Information Systems Discipline Queensland University of Technology Office 510 / 126 Margaret Street Tel: +61 7 3138 9479 Fax: +61 7 3138 9390 Brisbane QLD 4000, Australia Email j.recker(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:j.recker@qut.edu.au> Webpage http://sky.scitech.qut.edu.au/~recker/

The potential of BPM particularly lies in the integration of advanced information technology with organizational and managerial methods to foster and leverage business innovation, operational excellence and intra- and inter-organizational collaboration. Business Process Management as an Information Systems discipline is characterized by a myriad of approaches towards the analysis, modelling, implementation, execution and management of information systems with a process focus, ranging from those supported by groupware and project management products to those supported by workflow management systems and, more recently, business process management systems. However, Business Process Management also embraces further, widely undefined themes pertaining to the engineering and management of systems and organizations, particularly with respect to the areas of organizational culture, process-aware information systems, strategic alignment, and governance structures. The aim of the BPM track is to provide a forum for thought leaders in this area to assist in further shaping the BPM identify as a boundary-spanning, relevant and identity-defining discipline of IS research. The BPM track intends to capture the contemporary state of the art in BPM research, bringing together global BPM thought leaders from both academia and practice. A particular aim of the track is to push the discussion in contemporary BPM research beyond information technology and methods, to also embrace aspects of strategic alignment, governance, people and culture. We invite rigorous and relevant contributions from a wide variety of research methods, addressing topics such as the below. Submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the international Editorial Board. *Topics* Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Strategic alignment of BPM (e.g., value-based process management) - BPM Governance (e.g., BPM centre of competence) - Methods for BPM (e.g., Six Sigma, procedure models, methodologies, process modelling) - Process-aware Information Systems (e.g., workflow management and eBusiness standards) - Engaging and Educating Process Practitioners(e.g., educational programs, curriculum design) - Cultural Impacts of/on BPM (e.g., in global roll-out projects) - BPM case studies - Adoption and Diffusion of BPM and Process standards - Open-source Systems for BPM - BPM and Service-Orientation - Business Process Intelligence - Business Process Forensics and Performance Management - New enabling technologies for BPM (Cloud computing, Mobile technologies) - End user and community enablement of BPM *Submissions* ACIS 2010 calls for original, unpublished research papers (i.e. completed research and research-in-progress).

Goeschka <Karl.Goeschka(a)tuwien.ac.at> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS =============== +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | 6th Track on Dependable and Adaptive Distributed Systems (DADS) | | of the 26th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC'11) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ March 21 - 25, 2011 Taichung, Taiwan http://www.dedisys.org/sac11/ http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2011/ Accepted papers will be published in the ACM conference proceedings and will be included in the ACM digital library. Important Dates: Paper submission: August 24, 2010 Author notification: October 12, 2010 Camera-ready copies: November 2, 2010 Authors are invited to submit original work not previously published, nor currently submitted elsewhere. Authors submit full papers in pdf format using the link to the submission site at http://www.dedisys.org/sac11/. Authors are allowed up to 8 pages, but with more than 6 pages in the final camera ready, there will be a charge of 80USD per extra page. Call details ============ While computing is provided by the cloud and services increasingly pervade our daily lives, dependability is no longer restricted to mission or safety critical applications, but rather becomes a cornerstone of the information society. Unfortunately, heterogeneous, large-scale, and dynamic software systems that typically run continuously, often tend to become inert, brittle, and vulnerable after a while. The key problem is that the most innovative systems and applications are the ones that also suffer most from a significant decrease in dependability when compared to traditional critical systems, where dependability and security are fairly well understood as complementary concepts and a variety of proven methods and techniques is available today. In accordance with Laprie we call this effect the dependability gap, which is widened in front of us between demand and supply of dependability, and we can see this trend further fueled by the demand for resource awareness (including green computing) and increasing cost pressure. Among technical factors of dependability, software development methods, tools, and techniques contribute to dependability, as defects in software products and services may lead to failure and also provide typical access for malicious attacks. In addition, there is a wide variety of fault tolerance techniques available, including persistence provided by databases, replication, group communication, transaction monitors, reliable middleware, cloud infrastructures, and trustworthy service-oriented architectures with explicit control of quality of service properties. Furthermore, adaptiveness is envisaged in order to react to observed, or act upon expected changes of the system itself, the context/environment (e.g., resource variability or failure/threat scenarios) or users' needs and expectations. Provided without explicit user intervention, this is also termed autonomous behavior or self-properties, and often involves monitoring, diagnosis (analysis, interpretation), and reconfiguration (repair). In particular, adaptation is also a means to achieve dependability in a computing infrastructure with dynamically varying structure and properties. Topics of interest ================== * Architectural and infrastructural principles for adaptive and dependable distributed systems. * Adaptivity and dependability in service oriented architectures. * Trust and dependability as complementary and competing aspects. Integration of security and dependability concepts. Balancing and negotiation of dependability and security properties. * Dependability in complex service oriented environments, GRID-computing, and P2P-systems. Concertation, orchestration, coordination, and context-awareness (context-modeling). * Middleware support for reunification of network segments and reconciliation of divergent replicas. Consideration of alternative techniques for dynamic configuration and/or reconfiguration. * New middleware protocols, that are able to work in a peer-to-peer manner in cross-organisational environments and to tackle the challenges of massive scale and mobility. * Data replication strategies, interfaces, and standards. Interaction of distributed databases with middleware systems. * Adaptive, optimistic replication models and protocols. * Group communication and group membership services in failure scenarios with network partitions. * Other fault tolerance techniques, including transactions and explicit control of quality of service properties. * Intrusion tolerance techniques. * Autonomous behaviour and self-* properties. * Partial and probabilistic approaches for replication, group membership, and distributed consensus in loosely-coupled and ad-hoc environments to improve dependability. * Support for dependability and adaptiveness in component-based systems (e.g. component frameworks, container services, deployment, composition and substitution of components, building trusted systems from untrusted components). * Trading of dependability and adaptability with other non-functional requirements like integrity (consistency) or performance. Approaches to improve the scalability of dependable and adaptive systems. * Foundations and formal methods (e.g., rigorous development of dependable systems, verification and refinement of fault tolerant systems, techniques and mechanisms ensuring application level fault tolerance). * System design, modeling, development and tool support for dependable and adaptive systems. * Evaluation and experience reports of dependable and adaptive distributed systems and services. * Holistic dependability approaches: Social, cultural, psychological, economical, managerial, and educational aspects of dependability.
