Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP e-government interoperability, enterprise architecture and strategies
by Gustaf Neumann 07 Jul '10

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP e-government interoperability, enterprise architecture and strategies Datum: Wed, 7 Jul 2010 08:13:12 +0200 Von: Janssen, Marijn <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Special Issue on E-government interoperability, enterprise architecture and strategies Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research Guest editors; Marijn Janssen, Yannis Charalabidis, George Kuk and Tony Cresswell In the digital era public organizations are changing their strategies and structures and processes to fully benefit from the promises of ICT. Departments and institutions collaborate and interoperate across organizational boundaries. Whilst e-government was initially driven by adopting e-commerce ideas. in the last decade, it has emerged as a new genre of research. Similar to e-commerce, e-government requires multi-agency collaboration and integration of their disparate business processes and information systems. The unique characteristics of e-governme nt including accountability, transparency and equal access have played a major role and produced a different kind of e-commerce in meeting the broader expectations of society. A key prerequisite for collaboration is interoperability, which can be defined as the ability of systems to work together seamlessly and are able to adapt in time, achieving one-stop, automated service provision for citizens and businesses. Therefore, the design and operation of interoperable systems require a range of consideration including governance, organizational, strategic, social and technical issues. Interoperability not only presents organizations with technical challenge but also requires a shift in strategies and change in organizational structures and business models. Traditional bureaucratic organizations governed by command and control mechanisms are replaced by different kind of organizational structures, aiming to build horizontal relationships and network governance. All these e fforts need to be facilitated by a next generation infrastructure (NGI) enabling interoperability and reuse by sharing services. The basic digital government infrastructure has evolved over time.The development towards the next generation of digital government infrastructure (NGI) based on new technologies is under development. Yet, the siloed and fragmented nature, the lack in insight among the dependencies among organizational and technical aspects can hamper progress. Government enterprise architectures (GEA) or information's architectures are used as an instrument to facilitate these developments by outlining the vision, providing models for technology inclusion and integration supported by standards and principles. Whereas infrastructure refers to the actual implementation, GEA has a conceptual nature. Often there is no overarching framework helping to provide guidance for ensuring interoperability, facilitating reuse and meeting other objectives of open, inclusive and productive governance. Interoperability, architecture and strategies are important to all types of government activities, including policy making, services delivery, law enforc ement, and crisis response within the pubic sector. This special issue is aimed at contributing to the understanding formulation and elaboration of the issues involved in e-government interoperability, enterprise architectures, and solutions and strategies for governments, based on a combination of sound theoretical basis and empirical research. Papers preferably combine theory and empirical research. The special issue seeks scholarly manuscripts that explore the following topics in relation to e-government interoperability, architecture and strategies: Example and (best) practices of changing strategies and business models underpinned by theories Architecture for facilitating strategies and technologies Public-private architectures frameworks, collaboration in networks Governmen t 2.0 Government-to-citizens, government-to-business, government-to-government Innovations, process redesign and technologies Enterprise architecture standards, prin ciples and frameworks Free and open source software development and utilization Service-oriented architectures, web services, semantic web services, service orchestration and composition System, data- and process-based integration and transformation Identity management, privacy, security, public values Information reuse, information quality, ontologies and semantics Process, data and semantic modeling Next generation infrastructure, grid computing, cloud computing, ICT-(shared) services, and scalability issues Public values, evaluation of innovations Software as service, utility computing, platform as service, service providers Infrastructure, interoperability and enterprise architecture planning, and alignment Evolution, impact analyses and cost/benefit analysis Poli cies, strategies and governance About JTAER The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research (JTAER) has been created to allow researchers, acade micians and other professionals an agile and flexible channel of communication in which to share and debate new ideas and emerging technologies concerned with this rapidly evolving field.

Fwd: [AISWorld] OR Insight Special Issue Call for Papers: Facilitating information and knowledge management through Information Systems

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] OR Insight Special Issue Call for Papers: Facilitating information and knowledge management through Information Systems Datum: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 13:59:41 +0100 Von: Papadopoulos A. <A.Papadopoulos(a)soton.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit papers for the special issue of "OR Insight" (Palgrave Publishers) entitled: "Facilitating information and knowledge management through Information Systems and Operational Research: from theory to practice" Guest Editors: Dr Thanos Papadopoulos, School of Management, University of Southampton, UK Dr. Panagiotis Kanellis, Executive Director, Advisory services, Greece Teta Stamati, SingularLogic Integrator, Greece. The management and sharing of information and knowledge is one of a small set of core competencies that has such a direct and profound effect on reaching and sustaining competitive advantage. We live in the "Information Society", where the amount of information and knowledge a firm possesses equals its ability to act on time, dealing thereby with constant changes in the external context in it is embedded. Hence, information and knowledge management bring various issues to the fore, such as how to retrieve the most relevant and trustworthy sources; how to use these sources so as to succeed in the achievement of a firm's strategic plans; how to use them for making decisions, providing individuals with the appropriate modelling techniques (e.g. cognitive mapping) and Information Systems (IS) (e.g. expert and knowledge management systems) for this; and how to use them for personal knowledge enhancement and improvement of one's role as "knowledge worker" in today's information society (Edwards et al., 2009). The achievement of a firm's strategic plan and competitive advantage is dependent on its ability to respond to challenges occurring in both internal and external environment. In this vein, Operational Research (OR) comes to the fore, inter alia, as an agent and means of securing that 'intervention and change' - which is needed for the achievement of a firm's objectives- is effective and successful (Klein et al., 2007). Successful OR practice involves the successful management of information andknowledge through the design and implementation of various models and IS (e.g. knowledge management and expert systems, artificial intelligence). These models and systems enable, for instance, effective decision making; they bring changes in the knowledge of individuals and groups associated with the change; and they help them to understand highly complex change situations, as well as the interactions between multiple stakeholders with often conflicting and competing views, who discuss, negotiate changes, and use modelling techniques to deal with the complexities of these different interpretations (Edwards et al., 2009). Thus, change and intervention, improved and effective decision making, the delivery of new products and services and the improvement of already existing ones are dependent on OR practice through the effective information and knowledge management, and technological capabilities as suggested by the use of IS and models. However, this poses challenges related to numerous factors (e.g. contextual, cultural) that need to be taken into consideration when designing, implementing, and managing effective models and IS. Research has shown the influence of the aforementioned factors, but, clearly, further research is needed into these topics. The motivation for this Special Issue stems from the unexplored issues regarding the development and implementation of OR based models, IS, and networking in managing information and knowledge in today's complex contexts. The focus is to stimulate discussion and debate on the processes and models for the management of information and knowledge. Submitted papers must be practical/real world cases which emphasise the role of IS (e.g. expert and knowledge management systems), and OR model development and implementation as mechanisms to e.g. store, retrieve, coordinate, share, and control the exchange of knowledge and information, and suggest managerial lessons to be learnt. Potential topics, but not restricted to, include: § IS implementation issues (Social, cultural, contextual, power, politics) for information and knowledge management; § The creation of an enterprise knowledge-driven culture and learning organisation and delivery of value based on customer knowledge; § The emergence of networks and social networking for information and knowledge exchange and sharing; § The role of trust, solidarity, and power in knowledge sharing and exchange; § Knowledge management practices and IS enabled innovation, core competencies and intellectual capital valuation; § The role of knowledge management systems with the form of artificial intelligence, expert and knowledge management systems in avoiding or mitigating risk during strategic planning and problem solving. § The role of knowledge management in modelling decision support and facilitating group decisions by forms of knowledge modelling (e.g. causal maps or values' hierarchies), so as to bring to light knowledge/opinions exchanged in the group, ensure the underlying issues are analysed rigorously, and promote learning (Edwards et al., 2009; Montibeller et al., 2006). § The development and implementation of specific OR- based models and algorithms that underpin many systems and play important role in information and knowledge management. We welcome papers that bridge the gap in the overlapping fields of IS, knowledge management and OR-driven information and knowledge management. We also welcome papers that are of particular relevance to practitioners and draw from different background theories and results of research on IS and OR driven information and knowledge management.
