-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Information & Communication Technologies and the Work-Life Boundary @ EGOS 2012 Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2011 12:29:50 +0100 From: Donald Hislop <D.Hislop(a)lboro.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Can the following message be posted in the AIS list, please *Information & Communication Technologies and the Work-Life Boundary @ EGOS 2012* July 2â??7, 2012 | Helsinki, Finland Aalto University & Hanken School of Economics At the 2012 EGOS Colloquium in Helsinki one subtheme will focus on the relationship between Information & Communication technologies (ICTs) and the nature of the work-life boundary. Full details on the sub-theme can be found via the following link, and are outlined below. Link to ICTs and the Work-Life Boundary subtheme: http://www.egos2012.net/2011/06/sub-theme-54-information-and-communication-… We welcome submissions from anyone interested in this topic.

However, these developments also have potentially significant implications for the nature of the work-life boundary. This subtheme links together the topics of how ICTs are impacting on the design and structuring of work, and the work-life boundary by examining how people use ICTs to manage the work-life boundary. While there has been some research on how the work-related use of mobile technologies has impacted on peopleâ??s work-life boundary, this literature has generally focussed only on professional or managerial workers (for example Orlikowski 2007) and has mostly considered the way in which these technologies allow the intrusion of work into non-work time (for example Fenner & Renn 2010). This subtheme takes a wider approach to the technology/work-life boundary relationship through welcoming contributions which * Examine the experiences of any type of workers including: manual workers, managerial/professional workers, home-based workers, mobile workers, people involved in virtual/distributed work. * Examine the use of any type of computer and communication technology and mode of communication in relation to the work-life boundary including: desktop and mobile computers, mobile phones or mobile email devices which can be used for synchronous or asynchronous communication. * Examine peopleâ??s ICT mediated boundary management practices not only during non-work time, but also work-time. * Look at both how ICTs can influence not only the way in which work can intrude on peopleâ??s non-work domain but also the ways in which peopleâ??s non-work domain can intrude on their work. * Conceptualize the domain of â??lifeâ?? as constituting more than simply family/domestic relations, by taking account of how workersâ?? non-work domain may include participating in particular hobbies, or may involve relationships with extended family, friends, and work colleagues who are also friends. * Develop and advance theory of either the nature of the work-life boundary and/or the nature of the technologies being examined. â??Boundary theoryâ?? (Ashforth et al 2000) arguably provides the dominant perspective on how the work life boundary is conceptualized, and the social studies of technology perspective (see Wajcman 2006) has played a key role in highlighting how user agency is key in shaping the relationship between technology use and the work-life boundary (such as Wajcman et al 2008).Contributions are welcomed which either support or challenge/critique these perspectives, or which utilize different theoretical perspectives (such as Orlikowski 2007). * Problematize and question the degree of agency that ICTs provide people to control their work-life boundary, through taking account of factors beyond peopleâ??s control (such as having to deal with urgent, unexpected events). We welcome contributions, which connect with any of the themes outlined. The convenors are also happy to engage in discussion with anyone interested in submitting a paper to this sub-theme.

Accelerometers and motion sensors will tell Since the advent of mobile learning, developments in its practice and research have been triggered by technological innovation and advancement. For instance the arrival of laptops, afforded new models of technology integration and accessibility within the classroom and freed technology from the ‘imprisonment’ of computer rooms. The appearance of handheld devices offered potential for the exploitation of contextual outdoor learning and freed learners and technologies from the confinement of classrooms. The emergence of mobile phones democratized access to technology, revolutionized the concept of user generated content and freed learners and technologies to experiment with technologies outside classrooms and schools. The incursion of multi-touch tablets in the mobile learning scene is the latest technological ‘wave’. Though in early stages, sensationalist reporting of the ipads /for /Learning (http://www.ipadsforeducation.vic.edu.au/ <http://c.ss47.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1317813797420&StID=1351&SID=0&N…>) initiatives already advocate ipads will displace playdough and finger painting in Kindergartens and the Horizon report 2011 states ‘/electronic books are beginning to demonstrate capabilities that challenge the very definition of reading’ /(http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2011/sections/electronic-books/ <http://c.ss47.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1317813797420&StID=1351&SID=0&N…>). Against this background the relevance and need for mobile learning research and practice founded upon learning theories, focused on pedagogically meaningful approaches to mobile learning and systematically evaluated with appropriate data collection and analysis tools, remains paramount. The IADIS Mobile Learning 2012 International Conference seeks to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of mobile learning research which illustrate developments in the field. ** Format of the Conference *The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations.

Please send to interested colleagues and students.** -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline: 28 October 2011 ************************************************************* *IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2012 *March 10-12, 2012 – Berlin, Germany (http://www.is-conf.org/ <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1317815737811&StID=1351&SID=0&N…>) ************************************************************* ** Conference background and goals* A new paradigm is sweeping the society, organisations and the business environment. In fact, society and business world alike are moving from its tangible bases to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS) to support its management, use and sharing. In this emerging paradigm, terms like information, communication, knowledge, and learning have acquired a critical relevance to the understanding of the nature of contemporary business. This led authors such as Drucker (1993) to state that “we are entering the knowledge society in which the basic economic resource… is knowledge”. In fact, since the mid-1980s, there has been a sudden avalanche of a new kind of vocabulary. Corporations, which so far had been economic entities, are being described as ‘information-based organizations’, ‘learning organizations’, ‘knowledge-creating companies’ or knowledge intensive organisations. Instead of product-market strategies, the fashionable business discourse invokes core competencies, intangible assets, knowledge-based capabilities, intellectual capital, knowledge management etc. Consequently, in this 21st century of ours, terms such as intellectual capital, knowledge management, and knowledge mapping have increasingly become part of the corporate landscape. However, none of this apparent revolution would be possible without the underlying technological support provided by IS. The IADIS Information Systems Conference (IS 2012) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS taking a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. ** Format of the Conference* The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems. ** Types of submissions* Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. ** A set of key issues has been identified (see below).* However, these do not aim at being prescriptive, or set in stone, and any innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be considered. Areas and Topics of the conference will focus on: *IS in Practice, Technology Infrastructures and Organisational Processes *• Power, Cultural, Behavioural and Political issues • New Organisational Forms • Dilution of Organisational Boundaries • The centrality of IS and IT in Organisational Processes • IS Management • Information Management • Knowledge Management • IS and SMEs • Innovation and IS • Innovation and Knowledge Management • IS and Change Management • IS and Organisation Development • Enterprise Application Integration • Enterprise Resource Planning • Business Process Change *IS Design, Development and Management Issues and Methodologies* • Design and Development Methodologies and Frameworks • Iterative and Incremental Methodologies • Agile Methodologies • IS Design and Development as a Component-Based Process • IS Design and Development as Social Negotiation Process • IS D Design and Development as a Global and Distributed Process • Outsourcing in IS • Outsourcing Risks, Barriers and Opportunities • IS Project Management • IS Quality Management and Assurance • IS Standards and Compliance Issues • Risk Management in IS • Risk Management in IS Design and Development *IS Professional Issues* • Ethical, social, privacy, security and moral issues in an e-society • The role of information in the information society • Myths, taboos and misconceptions in IS • Practitioner and Research Relationship, Projects and Links • Validity, Usefulness and Applicability of IS Academic Research • Industrial Research versus Academic Research Issues • Industry Innovation and Leadership and Academic Laggards • IS consultancy as a profession • Organisational IS Roles • Communities of practice and Knowledge Sharing *IS Research* • Core Theories, Conceptualisations and Paradigms in IS Research • Ontological Assumptions in IS Research • IS Research Constraints, Limitations and Opportunities • IS vs Computer Science Research • IS vs Business Studies • Positivist, Interpretivist and Critical Approaches to IS Research • Quantitative vs. Qualitative Methods • Deductive vs Inductive Approaches • Multi-method Approaches and Triangulations in IS Research • Design Research and the Sciences of the Artificial in IS • Multidisciplinary Views and Multi Methodological Approaches • New and alternative approaches to IS research • Examples of experimental research designs in IS *IS Learning and Teaching* • Patterns of Demand for IS Teaching Provision • Fads, Fashions and Fetishes in IS Curricula • Pedagogic practice in Teaching IS • E-Learning in IS • Instructional Design for IS • National Cultures and Approaches to Pedagogy • Multiculturality and Diversity Issues in IS Learning and Teaching ** Important Dates: *- Submission deadline: 28 October 2011 - Notification to Authors: 28 November 2011 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration: Until 19 December 2011 - Late Registration: After 19 December 2011 - Conference: Berlin, Germany, 10 to 12 March 2012 ** Conference Location* The conference will be held in Berlin, Germany. ** Secretariat* IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2012 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3, 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)is-conf.org <mailto:secretariat@is-conf.org> Web site: http://www.is-conf.org/ <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1317815737811&StID=1351&SID=0&N…> ** Program Committee* Conference Chair Professor Philip Powell, Deputy Dean, University of Bath, UK Program Co-Chairs Miguel Baptista Nunes, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Committee Members: for the full Committee Members list please access http://www.is-conf.org/committees.asp <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1317815737811&StID=1351&SID=0&N…> ** Co-located events *Please also check the co-located events: e-Society 2012 (http://www.esociety-conf.org/ <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1317815737811&StID=1351&SID=0&N…>) - 10-13 March 2012 Mobile Learning 2012 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/ <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1317815737811&StID=1351&SID=0&N…>) - 11-13 March 2012 * Registered participants in the Information Systems’ conference may attend Mobile Learning and e-Society conferences’ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://b.ss43.shsend.com//home/r.asp?SID=0&G=2> subscribe <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=13178…> forward <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&HitI…> unsubscribe <http://b.ss43.shsend.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neuma…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.

Fwd: [AISWorld] ECIS2012 - CFP Enterprise Architecture & Governance track

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] ECIS2012 - CFP Enterprise Architecture & Governance track Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2011 18:39:44 +0000 From: Marijn Janssen - TBM <M.F.W.H.A.Janssen(a)tudelft.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CFP - Track "Enterprise Architecture & Governance track" http://www.ecis2012.eu/tracks/enterprise-architecture-and-governance.html 20th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2012) ESADE, Barcelona, Spain, June 10-13, 2012 http://www.ecis2012.eu Backgroud Enterprise architecture (EA) is based on statements of how an enterprise wants to use its Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to accomplish its strategy and relate this to the vision of what ICT has to offer for the enterprise and how this should be realized. EA can be used to align IT and business strategy, support business re-engineering, and guide design decisions and new initiatives. As such, it is closely intertwined with architectural governance (AG), which can be viewed as the processes and authority for decision-making concerning the use and development of EA. Despite the significance of having AG the architecture function is often disconnected from the other parts of the enterprise. An EA identifies the main components of the enterprise, its information systems, the ways in which these components work together in order to achieve defined objectives and the way in which the systems support business processes. EA can be conceptualized and characterized in various ways. Enterprise Architecture and Governance (EAG) is a broad field which influence the use, success and adoption of ICT. The relationship between EA and AG has been given limited attention and are influenced and shaped by each other. The primary strength of the EA approach is that it has well-defined concepts and instruments to control and develop complex, technological systems. Nevertheless, much of the past research on EA can be criticized for taking a technologist view or being too abstract. Architecture models, principles and standards make up the content of EA, yet there is little research how this and other factors are related to the performance and success and which capabilities and assets are needed. Architectures are meaningless if they are not adopted and used. Furthermore, architectures need to be flexible and agile to incorporate new technology. There is a shift from the use of EA at the organizational to the interorganizational level; architectures for supply chain and networks.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Green IS/IT Strategies and Technologies (International Conference on Information Resources Management) Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2011 19:48:20 +0100 From: Markus Helfert <markus.helfert(a)computing.dcu.ie> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de ------------------------------------ Call for Papers Submission Deadline: December 6th, 2011 Green IS/IT Strategies and Technologies Track of the 2012 International Conference on Information Resources Management (An AIS Affiliated Conference) http://conf-irm2012.wu.ac.at/ Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU WIEN), Vienna, Austria May 21-23, 2012 Track Chairs: Roya Gholami, Petra Staufer-Steinnocher r.gholami(a)aston.ac.uk, petra.staufer(a)wu.ac.at TRACK COVERAGE The relationship between IT and the environment is complex, as IT can have both first and second order effects (Hilty et al., 2006). The first order effect refers to the negative environmental impact of IT production, use, and disposal. Thus, making the production, use and disposal of IT greener refers to 'Green IT' (Murugesan, 2007). On the other hand, the second-order effect refers to the positive impact of using IT and information systems (IS). Thus, using IS to improve the eco-sustainability of business, social and economic processes refers to "Green IS" (Chen et al., 2008). The "Green IS" view sees IS as a possible solution to many environmental problems. However, IS scholarship contributing to knowledge about organizations and environmental sustainability is under-developed. The purpose of the Green IS/IT track is to advance theoretical and practical knowledge in this emerging domain and to gain a better understanding of current industry initiatives and academic research being conducted on the role of IS in sustainability. RECOMMENDED TOPICS This track encourages the submission of high quality papers that report on empirical research and case studies, assess critical issues or undertake theory development, including but not limited to following topics: -The role of IS/IT in sustainability -Adoption and diffusion of Green IS/IT -The use of IS/IT to change human behaviors towards sustainable business practices -Links among Green IS/IT, sustainability practices, organizational and environmental performance -The design, implementation, and use of IS/IT to reduce organizations' environmental impact -Ecological value of virtualization, cloud computing, software as a service -The roles of various emergent information systems, technologies and practices including mobile systems, location-aware technologies (e.g., GPS/GNSS, RFID), geographic information systems, and spatial business intelligence to aid in greening organizations -Monitoring, visualization, and optimization -Green logistics and supply chain technologies and practices -IS roles in carbon trading systems (both internal and external) -Case studies of Green IS and IT Submission Types and Guidelines Full Length Submissions: Submissions must be no more than 5000 words, including references, appendices and title page, with a maximum of 5 figures/tables. Submissions must be original, and previously unpublished, conceptual or empirical research manuscript for review.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] [Extended deadline] Second International Workshop on Complex Information Flows (CIF 2012) Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2011 13:10:15 +0900 From: Dimitri Perrin <dperrin(a)computing.dcu.ie> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Submission deadline now extended to October 22, 2011 CALL FOR PAPERS ====================================================================== The Second International Workshop on Complex Information Flows (CIF 2012) (http://www.ispl.jp/cif2012/) March 27, 2012. in conjunction with 26th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA 2012) (http://www.aina-conference.org/2012/) March 26-29, 2012 Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT), Fukuoka, Japan ====================================================================== * AIM AND SCOPE Complex communication systems are characterised by the presence of intricate interactions between their heterogeneous parts, and an overall behaviour which can not be easily explain by the properties of these individual components. For such systems, it is therefore particularly interesting to focus on how information flows between these parts, in terms of dynamical and statistical properties. Whether this flow has to be optimised or controlled, understanding its structure and dynamics is crucial. For many systems, the security of this information flow, or the level of synchronisation between entities, also need to be considered. These questions cover a number of problems, from data transfer in cloud computing and in high-performance computing, to information diffusion in mobile ad-hoc networks. The aim of this workshop is to give an overview of current knowledge on complex information flows, and to consider translational aspects between multidisciplinary research areas. Open issues and research challenges will be discussed, so as to provide a vision, and possible solutions, for the future of the field. * TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: - Information Flow in Complex Networks - Information Difusion, Dissemination, and Propagation - Epidemic-Style Communication and its Applications - Data-centric Network and its Applications - Stream Processing and its Applications - Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking - Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking - Content Delivery Networking - Sensor Networking - Network Storage and Information Management - Large-Scale Communication Network - Transport Protocol for Information Flows - Flow-level Network Analysis, Modeling, and Simulation - Measurement and Control of Network Flows - Data-Intensive Network Applications - Social Networking and its Applications - Large-Scale Distributed Applications - Cloud Computing for Complex Information Flows - Large-Volume Data Management * WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS - Dimitri Perrin, Dublin City University, Ireland - Hiroyuki Ohsaki, Osaka University, Japan * PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION Authors are invited to submit manuscripts reporting original unpublished research and recent developments in the topics related to the workshop. The length of the papers should not exceed 8 pages (IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscripts style: two columns, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 fonts, and number each page. Please visit http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting for detailed paper formatting instructions. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format using the EasyChair online submission system at this URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cif2012 All papers will be peer reviewed and the comments will be provided to the authors. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press. * IMPORTANT DATES - Submission Deadline: October 22, 2011 - Author Notification: December 1, 2011 - Author Registration: December 23, 2011 - Final Manuscript Due: January 6, 2012 * CONTACT US cif2012[atmark]ispl.jp
