They are used to support multiple tasks such as software development, design and engineering, process optimization and reengineering, knowledge explication and transfer as well as marketing, strategic development and cooperation planning. These representations should not only be used by single users for special purposes, but rather to support a wide range of users and organizational issues such as shared understanding of work practices. This accounts for their development and their usage for everyday tasks. However, in practice they are hardly used by or available for non-experts ‚Äì even if they are created collaboratively they still have little impact on actual work in these processes. Today, we only know little about the interaction of non-expert users with models, that is, how people can make use of them in practice and interact with them. Supporting such interaction needs insights on means for increasing the usage and availability of models after their creation and on suitable tools and modes of interaction with models for people who are not modeling professionals. Also, there is a lack of knowledge on collaborative development of graphical representations, including processes of cooperation and settings for such development. Fostering the collaborative development of models and including non-expert users into this process needs ways to enable users to contribute actively to creation and maintenance, whether they are co-located or dislocated, synchronous or asynchronous in time or possess different levels of expertise in modeling. This special issue intends to shed light on the collaborative usage and development of graphical representations such as models. For this, we welcome submissions dealing with theoretical frameworks, empirical and case study research as well as applications in the context of this area. Examples of topics for submissions include, but are not limited to the following: * Designing means and functionality for user interaction with models and visualizations, e.g. contributing to models (formally and informally) and using them in daily work. * Supporting work and collaboration with models and visualizations, e.g. communicating about models, using them for learning, reflection, documentation or knowledge transfer as well as collaborative design and engineering. * Supporting collaborative development of models and visualizations, e.g. tools supporting collaborative modeling in collocated and remote settings, typical settings and roles in collaborative modeling. * The influence of users on models (e.g. collaborative modeling participants' influence on model outcomes) and the influence of models on users (e.g. users discussing a model and behavior changes) Additional information: ******************** Additional information, news, updates and the extended Call for Papers on the Special Issue can be found on the CollabViz website: http://www.imtm-iaw.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/events/ecscw/index.html.en Submission: *********** All submissions must be in English, and should represent the original work of the authors.

The case study is based on the Presidential National Commission, a South African government department that migrated from proprietary software to open source software in 2007. The organization was one of the few that migrated to open source software as part of a South African government initiative. The case study consisted of semi-structured interviews with the participants involved in the migration. The interviews centered on the contribution of stakeholder collaboration during the software migration using a boundary critique. The results suggest that stakeholder collaboration can contribute to open source software migration. From a managerial perspective, business leaders must understand the value of stakeholder collaboration in open source software migration. Boundary critique can be an important tool for achieving broader collaboration of stakeholders.

This system connects a hospital in the Upper Amazon with health care facilities scattered throughout that area of the jungle. Patients' transport through the physical nodes of the public health care system relied on rivers and wooden boats, but voice and data can now flow directly through channels apart from the existing health care organization. The time required to reach a doctor might previously have been the travel distance for different medicines served as a justification for people not to follow new ways to recovery. After the implementation of telemedicine, the effectiveness of medical talks depends on the ability to understand each other. Locally there is no single health care practice that is believed to be the right one: patients follow different paths for recovery through traditional and biomedical treatments. Thus, the diverse social environment affects both directly and indirectly the use of the telemedicine system, which evolves accordingly with how public healthcare service is perceived and used.

(Baker et al., 2011), He invited Frank Land to be a member of the panel. Frank sought to explore some topics that were receiving a great deal of attention from the media and in particular the computer press as well amongst IS practitioners, management and academia. The topic was the apparently rapidly growing threat coming from the misuse or criminal use of information and communications technology (ICT) as well as the use of the technology in warfare (Cyberwarfare). The issues were discussed under a variety of labels but usually included terms such as security, privacy, risk and piracy.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Second CfP ECIS 2012 - Track "Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management" Datum: Fri, 11 Nov 2011 15:04:38 +0100 Von: Barbara Dinter <barbara.dinter(a)unisg.ch> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ** We apologize for cross-postings ** **************************************************************************** SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS 20th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2012) Track: â??Business Intelligence and Knowledge Managementâ?? (http://www.ecis2012.es/tracks/business-intelligence-and-knowledge-managemen…) June 10-13, 2012, Barcelona, Spain (http://www.ecis2012.es <http://www.ecis2012.es/>) **************************************************************************** Deadline for paper submissions: December 1, 2011 =========================================== Track Description: =============== Business intelligence (BI) and knowledge management (KM) contribute significantly to an organisationâ??s competitiveness and sustainable development. Both domains provide means to leverage organisational information and knowledge assets for efficient and effective decision making. The underlying BI and KM agendas are nothing less than to deliver decision support for sustainable economic development, which is an important prerequisite for the global welfare. In order to provide enduring value, the decision makers must rely on consolidated and high-quality information as well as on a current and context-rich knowledge base that are correlated with the organisational setting and environment. Consequently, BI and KM meanwhile represent an essential component of the enterprise application landscape. BI is a broad category of technologies, applications, and processes to support data analysis and decision making in organisations and across organisational boundaries. Complementary, KM focuses on capturing the right knowledge, providing it to the right user, and using this knowledge to improve organisational and/or individual performance. Although addressed by research for a long time, both domains are still evolving. For example, new applications, innovative technologies, and increasing maturity of BI and KM solutions demand for adequate methodological and technical advice as well as for the performance measurement of organisational application. This track aims to promote contributions dealing with a managerial, an economic, a methodological or a technical perspective on BI and KM.

Fwd: [computational.science] ScalA@SC 2011: Call for Participation

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] ScalA@SC 2011: Call for Participation Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:47:26 -0500 From: Christian Engelmann <engelmannc(a)computer.org> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> We apologize if you receive multiple copies. The final program has been posted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2nd Workshop on Latest Advances in Scalable Algorithms for Large-Scale Systems (ScalA) held in conjunction with the 24th IEEE/ACM International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC) 2011 November 14, 2011, Seattle, WA, USA <http://www.csm.ornl.gov/srt/conferences/Scala/2011/> Novel scalable scientific algorithms are needed in order to enable key science applications to exploit the computational power of large-scale systems. This is especially true for the current tier of leading petascale machines and the road to exascale computing as HPC systems continue to scale up in compute node and processor core count. These extreme-scale systems require novel scientific algorithms to hide network and memory latency, have very high computation/communication overlap, have minimal communication, and have no synchronization points. Scientific algorithms for multi-petaflop and exa-flop systems also need to be fault tolerant and fault resilient, since the probability of faults increases with scale. Resilience at the system software and at the algorithmic level is needed as a crosscutting effort. Finally, with the advent of heterogeneous compute nodes that employ standard processors as well as GPGPUs, scientific algorithms need to match these architectures to extract the most performance. This includes different system-specific levels of parallelism as well as co-scheduling of computation. Scientific key science applications require novel mathematical models and system software that address the scalability and resilience challenges of current- and future-generation extreme-scale HPC systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Novel scientific algorithms that improve performance, scalability, resilience and power efficiency - Porting scientific algorithms and applications to many-core and heterogeneous architectures - Performance and resilience limitations of scientific algorithms and applications at scale - Crosscutting approaches (system software and applications) in addressing scalability challenges - Scientific algorithms that can exploit extreme concurrency (e.g. 1 billion for exascale by 2018) - Naturally fault tolerant, self-healing or fault oblivious scientific algorithms - Programming model and system software support for algorithm scalability and resilience Venue: - Grand Hyatt Seattle, 721 Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98101 Room: Princessa II Program: 08:50-09:00: Opening Prof. Vassil Alexandrov (BSC, Spain) 09:00-09:45: Invited talk - The low-power Architecture Approach Towards Exascale Computing, Prof. Alex Ramirez (BSC, Spain) 09:45-10:35: Papers - Implementing a Gaussian Process Learning Algorithm in Mixed Parallel Environment, V.
