-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] 2nd Call for Papers: AOSE'2011 Submission Deadline February 5 Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 20:12:53 +0100 (CET) From: "Jörg P. Müller"<joerg.mueller(a)tu-clausthal.de> Reply-To: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de To: undisclosed-recipients:; ******************************************************************************* Call For Papers AOSE 2011 12th International Workshop on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering Held with AAMAS 2011, Taipei, Taiwan, May 2/3, 2011 http://distrinet.cs.kuleuven.be/events/aose/2011/ MOTIVATION Since the early 1990s, multi-agent system researchers have developed a large body of knowledge on the foundations and engineering principles for designing and developing agent-based systems. The 11 past editions of the agent-oriented software engineering workshop (AOSE) had a key role in this endeavor. For 2011, the workshop organizers and the steering committee plan to organize a special edition of AOSE. In particular, we aim to wrap up the previous editions of the workshop with a discussion of the the state of the art in the key areas of AOSE and based on that outline the future of the field. This way, we aim to find a way out of the increasing fragmentation and fuzziness on software engineering in AOSE. The workshop program will be based on invited papers complemented with accepted papers from the call for papers. Invited papers will be presented by renowned researches and engineers in different areas of the field, including agent-oriented methodologies, coordination infrastructures for multi-agent systems, programming agents and multi-agent systems, engineering multi-agent organizations, engineering self-organizing systems, agents and services. Regular papers can focus on any aspect of agent-oriented software engineering. However, we encourage authors to pay particular attention on challenges for future research and the position of their work in the broader field of agent oriented software engineering and software engineering in general. The workshop organizers plan to edit a special issue in a high-quality journal with the invited papers and selected regular papers. Additionally, we plan to publish accepted papers in a volume of the Lecture Notes for Computer Science series. GOALS and TOPICS The general goal of this year's workshop is to to bring together leading research and engineers in AOSE to consolidate the state of the art in the field and discuss the future of the field. To that end, we will combine a series of invited papers with a call for regular papers. Topics of invited papers include: * Agent-oriented methodologies * Coordination infrastructures for multi-agent systems * Programming agents and multi-agent systems * Engineering multi-agent organizations * Engineering self-organizing systems * Agents and services Invited papers will be written and presented by renowned researches and engineers in the field. The idea is not to have papers focusing on the authors their specific work, but to have papers with a vision that are based on the key work in each area, and an outline of the challenges for future research. Topics of regular papers include but are not restricted to: * Goal-oriented design * Reusable design knowledge: patterns and reference architectures * Qualities and tradeoffs of agent-based architectures * Modeling and simulation in AOSE * Agents and model-driven approaches * Verification of agent-based software * Middleware integration of agent-based software * Integration of agents with legacy systems * Testing of agent-based software * Validation of agent technology in practice * CASE tools to support agent-oriented software development in practice * Implications of introducing agent-based solutions on the development organization * Standardization efforts for multi-agent systems * Agent-based methods and solutions for managing complexity * Alignment of agents with service-oriented software development * Agents for self-adaptive systems Authors of regular papers can focus on theoretical, experimental, methodological, and practical aspects. In line with the general goal of the workshop, we encourage authors to position their work in the broader field of agent-oriented software engineering and software engineering in general, and outline the challenges for future research. AUTHOR GUIDELINES AOSE welcomes the submission of theoretical, experimental, methodological as well as application papers which focus on the topics outlined above. Submitted papers will will be evaluated by three members of the PC. Papers that present a valuable idea that needs further development can be accepted as a short paper. SUBMISSIONS Papers should be between 8 and 12 pages, including the text, figures, and references. The submissions must be formatted according to the Springer Verlag LNCS style. PDF format is required. Papers can be submitted via EasyChair 'AOSE 2011', at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aose2011 The good receipt of your submission will be confirmed by email. PUBLICATIONS The plan is to publish the invited and a selection of regular workshop papers in a special issue of a high-quality journal of the multi-agent system community. Acceped workshop papers are planned to be published in a Lecture Notes in Computer Science volume.

The detailed CfP and the important deadlines are copied below. ******************************************************************** Electronic Markets - The International Journal on Networked Business Call for Papers for Special Issue on "E-Commerce Intelligence Development and Research in the Greater China Region" ****************************************************************************** Guest Editors: * Xin (Robert) Luo, Ph.D. (Anderson School of Management, University of New Mexico, USA) * Heng Xu, Ph.D. (College of Information Sciences and Technology Pennsylvania State University, USA) * Lee J. Yao, Ph.D. (J.A. Butt College of Business, Loyola University New Orleans, USA) Theme: As coined by Luo and Zhang (2010), the Greater China Region (GCR) refers to the geographical area of Chinese culture with regard to the economic development, not to political entities. This includes the economies of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and extends to countries such as Malaysia and Singapore whose national economies are also impacted by and related to Chinese owned and/or managed businesses as well as large numbers of Chinese consumers. During the last decade, we have witnessed dramatic progresses in the GCR region as Chinese economy has been increasingly integrated into global economy. Driven by the growing economy, many companies in this region have launched ambitious strategic e-Commerce plans, and governments have been pursuing aggressive policies to open up new business opportunities and to reinforce the development of the e-Commerce industry specifically and the adoptions of e-Commerce initiatives across industries in general. As a key component to business profitability, sustainability, and competency, e-Commerce intelligence consists of a broad category of information technologies, processes, models, and applications for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing data to help organizations make more efficient and effective decisions. As the fundamental of e-Commerce, Information System (IS) research is capable of contributing significantly to the further development of e-Commerce intelligence in its theoretical, technical, and managerial dimensions. This special issue is mainly concerned with the role that e-Commerce intelligence has been playing in this phenomenal process. It is the first global high-quality journal venue dedicated to scientific research about e-Commerce intelligence development in the GCR. Its publication and distribution is bound to show the world e-Commerce intelligence development and various related issues in the GCR. It will provide academic researchers and practitioners with a unique opportunity to demonstrate high-quality scientific research in this intriguing domain. It intends to leverage the global platform for peer exchanging of research ideas and findings. Aims and Scope: The objective of this special issue is to attract high quality manuscripts from both researchers and practitioners who are interested in issues related particularly to e-Commerce intelligence development and research in the GCR. Papers of all types of methodological approaches (e.g., behavioral, modeling, case studies and prototypes, etc.) are welcome.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] cfp: Virtual Communities @ ACMIS 2011 Datum: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 18:13:33 +0100 (CET) Von: Jan Marco Leimeister <Leimeister(a)uni-kassel.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de An: undisclosed-recipients:; Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, anbei der Call for Papers des Minitracks "Virtual Communiites" für die AMCIS 2011, wir würden uns sehr über Einreichungen von Ihnen freuen. Bitte entschuldigen Sie eventuelle Mehrfachzustellungen. Beste Grüße aus Kassel, Jan Marco Leimeister ***************START************* Call for Papers - Mini-Track Virtual Communities 17th Americas Conference on Information Systems August 4-8 2011, Detroit, Michigan, USA http://www.virtual-community.org This Mini-Track builds on the success of the preceding AMCIS mini-tracks on virtual communities and Social Networking. During the last ten years we have been gathering a community of researchers who are interested in the field of virtual communities and social networking and related issues. Please visit the mini-track website at http://www.virtual-community.org Virtual communities and social networking based on message boards, instant messaging, user groups, and blogs have emerged as high activity domains on the Internet and more and more in the realm of mobile devices and mobile internet usage. Virtual communities and social networks are designed for a variety of purposes, ranging from Communities of Interest, Communities of Relationship (e.g., Facebook), Gaming Communities (e.g., in Wolrd of Warcraft, Second Life), and Communities of Transaction to Peer-to-Peer Communities or Mobile Communities. Web 2.0 mechanisms are also boosting the development of virtual communities and the role of user-generated content within virtual communities. The significance of these communities is evident by the impact they have on information generation and transmission, and socialization. For example, today, blogs are quickly becoming a primary source of information in a variety of domains. The dynamic and interactive nature of these forums makes them very attractive for users and operators. An additional value offered by many of these communities is their ability to support socialization and offer an identity for the participants. While most virtual communities share these characteristics, it is also important to recognize that virtual communities are not homogeneous; they differ significantly based on the domain, purpose and benefits. Well-organized communities even expand their power across various channels and into the Offline world. Within the field of information systems researchers are interested in studying interaction patterns, social structures and interactions, transaction processes, management aspects, business models, and design aspects of information systems and services for virtual communities. Community members interact via digital media and contribute value in the form of content, reviews, and recommendations. Related issues are trust, network effects, transaction costs and the design of services as well as the generation of innovations. "Wisdom of Crowds", "Collective Intelligence" and "Crowdsourcing" are important new terms describing mechanisms around user-generated content in virtual communities and social networks. This mini-track welcomes empirical, conceptual, and theoretical work. Despite the increasing popularity of virtual communities and social networking, major questions relating to virtual communities and social networking remain largely unexplored. We solicit submissions of papers on all aspects of virtual communities. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): * Social, political and economic impact of virtual communities * User-generated content and customer collaboration in virtual communities * Management and organizational behaviour of communities * Innovation generation and virtual communities (e.g., wisdom of crowds, collective intelligence) * Virtual communities and mobile devices * Case studies and empirical studies, best practices, and lessons learned * Motivation of participants in virtual communities * Benefits of participation in and competition among virtual communities * Information dispersion in virtual communities * Typologies and taxonomies of virtual communities * Evolution of and innovation in virtual communities * Community models, platforms, services, and interactions, multi-channel communities * Community-related business models This mini-track builds on the success of the preceding AMCIS mini-track on virtual communities. During the last ten years we have been gathering a community of researchers who are interested in the field of virtual communities and related issues. Please visit the mini-track website at http://www.virtual-community.org for more information and accepted papers of previous years.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] 2nd CfP: AMCIS 2011 minitrack on "Knowledge Management Value, Success andPerformance Measurements" Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2011 12:03:56 +0100 (CET) From: Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu Reply-To: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de To: undisclosed-recipients:; (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: Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management Minitrack: Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements DESCRIPTION Research into knowledge management (KM), organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in today’s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and thus are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiatives’ success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measure this success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring KM, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based initiatives. SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to: * Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems * Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance * Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success * Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives * Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements * Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge management/organizational memory systems * Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge management performance * Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success * Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their theoretical basis to facilitate the value of knowledge-based initiatives * Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing knowledge-based initiatives 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.
