-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2012-Mini-track: Information Technology (IT)-enabled Supply Chain Management: Co-Creating and Capturing Business Value from IT Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:50:33 +1100 From: Samuel Fosso Wamba <samuel(a)uow.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS-AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: E-Business and E-Commerce (SIGeBiz) Mini-track: Information Technology (IT)-enabled Supply Chain Management: Co-Creating and Capturing Business Value from IT The preoccupation with supply chain management (SCM) has been present over the last few decades. Numerous studies have pointed to the need to increase the level of integration of inter- and intra-organizational processes and information systems in order to achieve a greater level of seamlessness and reduce duplication efforts and corresponding inefficiencies. The advent of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Bluetooth, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) II) should accelerate this trend. For example, the combination of intelligent products and intelligent services enabled by RFID with the existing ICTs in supply chains should play a facilitating role – thus allowing greater visibility of products and services to supply chain members –, and in parallel offer more opportunities for quick and efficient supply chain activities. Supply chain members should therefore face greater strain as they will be expected to manage not only their own activities in relation to those products and services, but also the integration of upstream and downstream core business processes and inter- and intra-organizational information systems. In this context, collaboration between the supply chain stakeholders to co-create and capture value from ITs for their economic growth sustainability becomes not only a prerequisite, but also a major challenge. This mini-track aims to look at how to co-create and capture business value from new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) both at the firm and supply chain levels. Suggested topics, but are not limited to: • Business process modeling& simulation, business process redesign from new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID , Bluetooth, ERPII) at the firm and supply chain levels • Case studies on the implementation of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) for business value co-creation at the firm and supply chain levels • Enabling innovative electronic business models using new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) in various sectors (e.g., healthcare, retail, manufacturing) • IT-enabled business analytics at the firm and supply chain levels • Modeling and simulation of financial, managerial, leadership, and human resources required for projects of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) • Modeling and simulation of the business value of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) on quality management • Modeling and simulation of the costs and risks associated with the deployment of new concepts (e.g., social media, Web 2.0, green supply chain) and technologies (e.g., RFID technology, Bluetooth, ERPII) at firm and supply chain levels Important Deadlines • January 2, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 • March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions • April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date • April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due • June 12, 2012: Last day for AMCIS 2012 Early Registration • July 13, 2012: Deadline for making hotel room reservations • July 24, 2012: Last day for AMCIS 2012 Regular Registration Instructions for authors and more information about the conference at : http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ Mini-track Chairs: a) Dr Samuel Fosso Wamba CompTIA RFID+ Certified Professional Senior Lecturer, School of Information Systems& Technology (SISAT) University of Wollongong Wollongong NSW 2522 Australia Associate Professor, Rouen Business School, France Phone: +61 2 4221 3937 Fax : +61 2 4221 4170 Email: samuel(a)uow.edu.au Web page : www.samuelfossowamba.com b) Dr Ygal Bendavid CompTIA RFID+ Certified Professional Professor, Operation Management, Department of Management and Technology School of Management The Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Montréal, Canada E-mail: bendavid.ygal(a)uqam.ca c) Dr Ming Lim Engineering& Applied Science Aston University, UK Email: m.k.lim(a)aston.ac.uk _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] EJIS CFP - Special Issue on Mobile IS and Mobility Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 06:48:40 -0500 From: Catherine Middleton <lists(a)catherinemiddleton.ca> Reply-To: Catherine Middleton <catherine.middleton(a)ryerson.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Reminder Call for Papers: European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS) http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ejis/index.html PDF version of this CFP: http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ejis/EJIS_CFP_MISM.pdf Special Issue on Mobile Information Systems and Mobility In 2006, an EJIS special issue on mobile user behaviour published seven papers that explored the ways in which “increased mobility of the users violates some of the assumptions traditionally associated with the use of IS” (van der Heijden& Junglas, 2006, p. 249). In the five years since that special issue was published, mobile devices have become much more powerful, and users have become more demanding of mobile access to information systems. Many individuals now carry powerful computing devices with them at all times, blurring the boundaries between personal and organizational systems and uses. Individuals are becoming “experiential” computing users, with personal computing devices embedded in their everyday activities. The increased power and prevalence of mobile devices presents an opportunity, if not an obligation, for information systems researchers to revisit fundamental assumptions embedded in our theories. What changes when we assume that mobile access is a key component of information systems and that mobility is a key expectation of users? Should IS theories that were developed to investigate the deployment of fixed systems in bounded environments controlled by organizations be revisited in the context of mobility? We invite theoretical and empirical papers that explore the meanings and implications of mobility for information systems research and researchers. We encourage broad definitions of mobility and information systems, in recognition that mobility can dissolve organizational boundaries, reshape information systems, and change the nature of use and users. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Design of mobile information systems environments • Management challenges in a mobile information systems environment • Mobile content and services development, the rise of the mobile ‘app’ and cloud computing • Perspectives on the “always on, always connected” mobile society, the mobile device as instrument of societal change • Understanding the mobile content consumer, opportunities and threats for content providers • Theorising the mobile ICT artefact • New affordances of mobility • Understanding the materiality of mobility, exploring the mobile artifact • New actors in a mobile information systems environment, including machine to machine interaction • Mobility in the workforce, including overlapping contexts of mobile technology use (work, leisure, social), the business value of mobility, and mobility considerations in ICT strategy • The role of digital infrastructures in enabling mobility Guest Editors for the Special Issue Catherine Middleton, Ryerson University (catherine.middleton(a)ryerson.ca) Rens Scheepers, Deakin University (rens.scheepers(a)deakin.edu.au) Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen, Aalto University (virpi.tuunainen(a)aalto.fi) Submission Guidelines and Important Dates Papers may be submitted to the special issue any time before December 31, 2011.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] [AISworld] CFP- 3rd Int. Workshop on Business IntelligencE and the WEB (BEWEB 2012) Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:40:26 +0000 From: Castellanos, Malu G <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers -- NEW DATES! 3rd International Workshop on Business IntelligencE and the WEB (BEWEB 2012) http://gplsi.dlsi.ua.es/congresos/beweb12 March 30th, 2012 In conjunction with EDBT/ICDT 2012 Joint Conference, Berlin, Germany http://edbticdt2012.dima.tu-berlin.de/ Introduction ------------ Over the last decade we have been witnessing an increasing use of Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, which allow business people to query, understand, and analyze their business data in order to make better decisions. Traditionally, BI applications allowed business people to acquire useful knowledge from the data of their organization by means of a variety of technologies, such as data warehousing, data mining, business performance management, OLAP, periodical business reports, and the like. Yet, in the very recent years, a new trend emerged: BI applications no longer limit their analysis to the data inside one company. Increasingly, they also source their data from the outside, i.e., from the Web, and complement company-internal data with value-adding information from the Web (e.g., retail prices of products sold by competitors), in order to provide richer insights into the dynamics of today's business. In parallel to the move of data from the Web into BI applications, we are now assisting to the move of BI applications from company-internal information systems to the Web: BI as a service (e.g., hosted BI platforms for small- and medium-size companies) is the target of huge investments and the focus of large research efforts by industry. The idea is that of outsourcing the processing and analysis of large bodies of data and consuming BI from the cloud. The Third International Workshop on Business intelligenCE and the WEB (BEWEB) intends to be a forum for exchanging ideas on (i) how to leverage the huge amount of data that is available on the Web in BI applications, (ii) how to apply Web engineering methods and techniques to the design of BI applications, and (iii) how to use BI knowledge in the design of Web applications. Topics of interest ------------------- Papers focused on new domains and new experiences with the connection between BI and the Web are highly encouraged. The workshop will be a forum for researchers, designers, and users who are related to the combination of these main topics. The scope of the workshop includes but is not limited to: - Web warehousing - Extraction, transformation, and load of Web data - Web integration - Web data quality - Semantic Web technologies - Web mining - Web intelligence - The role of Web 2.0/3.0 in BI - BI with unstructured data (e.g., text) and semi-structured data (e.g., XML) - BI for designing adaptive websites - Web engineering techniques for BI applications (Web mashups, RIA, etc.) - BI as a service - Cloud intelligence: cloud computing & business intelligence Submission Guidelines --------------------- Paper submission will be electronic via the EasyChair system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=beweb2012. The length of submitted papers should not exceed 8 pages in ACM double-column format (see guidelines at http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). Papers not conforming to these requirements may be rejected without further consideration. The publication of BEWEB workshop papers will be handled together with publications of the main conference.Best selected papers of BEWEB 2012 will be invited to submit an extended version in a special collection of the Journal of Research and Practice in Information Technology journal (listed in JCR). Important Dates (NEW!) --------------- Abstract submission deadline: December 13th, 2011 Submission deadline: December 20th, 2011 Notification to authors: January 25th, 2012 Camera-ready papers: February 1st, 2012 Workshop: March 30th, 2012 Workshop Chairs --------------- Malu Castellanos Intelligent Enterprise Technologies Lab HP Laboratories, Palo Alto Email: malu.castellanos(a)hp.com Florian Daniel Information Engineering and Computer Science Dept.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2012 - Minitrack on Negative Cognitions About IS Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 17:04:04 -0600 From: Lockwood, Nick <LockwoodN(a)mst.edu> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: HCI Studies in Information Systems (SIGHCI) Mini-track: Negative Cognitions About Information Systems There is an increasingly persistent dichotomy in the way that emerging Information Systems (IS)-enabled patterns for work and collaboration are affecting IS users. On the one hand, they enable vast improvements in processes and decisions. On the other, they lead to negative cognitions and outcomes such as stress, frustrations and information overload. There has been a recent surge of interest in negative cognitions associated with using IS related, for example, to technostress, intrusiveness and deceptiveness, credibility and deception, addiction to technology use, and distrust. These studies explore various facets of detrimental conditions that users of IS experience-conditions that, given the ubiquity of IS use, are potentially pervasive. The objective of this mini-track is to develop theoretical insight and understanding on HCI topics and issues that address this "troubling" side of IS. Submissions addressing all aspects of this topic are welcome. We welcome conceptual, theoretical or empirical research papers. We particularly welcome papers that apply theories and perspectives from different disciplines (e.g., theories of stress from psychology, information overload and interruption from information science, and work-life balance from industrial management) to examine various aspects of this phenomenon. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: conceptualizations of troubling or negative interactions between IS and users, such as interruptions, information overload, constant connectivity to work-related information processing, addiction to IS use, and difficulties in learning how to use constantly changing technologies and applications. 2. Implications for design of systems and interfaces regarding: outcomes from the above interactions such as stress, difficulty in concentrating, multitasking, user dissatisfaction, effects on productivity and performance, disruption of work-life balance, over-dependence on IS. 3. Any other HCI topics related to negative affective responses and the cause and effect relationships between cues embedded in system designs and/or methods that can mitigate or exacerbate those negative responses. IMPORTANT DATES: February 17, 2012 - Deadline for paper submissions March 24, 2012 - Notification of acceptance April 21, 2012 - Final copy due INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS: All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012. For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2012 conference website at http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ after January 2, 2012.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: ICMB 2012 Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2011 00:51:06 -0000 From: sender(a)ekimelu.com To: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at The 11th ICMB Conference on adoption, use and effect of Mobile Systems and Applications will take place in Delft, The Netehrlands June 21 and 22 *Mobile Business in Everyday life: users’ routines versus provider’s turbulence* Like ecommerce, mobile applications are becoming part of daily routines for consumers. Given the ease of use of smart phones and increasing mobile data network capacity, acceptance of mobile applications is increasing fast. Users switch to smart phones to deal with tasks they perform based on day-to-day routines, both in private life as well as in business environments. Academic research is shifting from acceptance and adoption issues to research questions that focus on usage patterns, preferences, substitution and displacement behavior and what the impact of Mobile Internet is going to be on daily routines. What are the first and second order effects? Improved communication and information provisioning might be evident, but what about integration with other applications? Are mobile services going to be integrated with smart home systems? Is mobile going to be part of the larger ecosystem of ‘smart cities’ and the Internet of Things? And what does this mean for human behavior? Are mobile phones and tablets becoming the preferred way to deal with business routines, accessing ERP-systems, filling out expense forms, managing customer relations? How will mobile services be implemented in education systems? Are electronic books going to capture a part of the market? Is mobile TV changing to social mobile TV: sharing files across devices, making use of buddy lists? It will be clear that not only domains such as media, entertainment and communications will be affected, but that mobile and sensor-based applications are going to have an impact on many other domains as well: banking, logistics, energy, health care, independent living. Any potentially stabilizing acceptance patterns in the user market are in sharp contrast with the turbulence that the mobile industry is going through due to the convergence of the content, application, Internet and the telecommunication industry. The provider eco-system around mobile Internet is now facing profound changes in business models and technical architectures. The emergence of various types of software platforms and end-to-end architectures in mobile systems is increasing the pressure on the dominant technological and business set-up of the mobile industry, to the point of a reconfiguration of the entire mobile system. Will new platforms for converged communication services or novel ad hoc paradigms offer an alternative for telecom operators to sustain their control over the mobile communication market? Can they co-exist or will Internet and IT firms make significant inroads into the telecommunications market? Are applications providers and app stores able to capture a major share of all service revenues? How celar is the distinction between infrastructure, platform and service? Are device manufacturers coming up with new mobile cloud based technologies that even could make it possible to avoid the distribution channels controlled by Webco’s like Apple and Android? Are businesses and governments able to integrate mobile applications in their service offerings to users? How are specific ‘vertical’ service offerings and industries changing because of these dynamics? What are policy and regulatory priorities for well-functioning mobile markets?

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP - Academic Globalization Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 21:08:06 -0400 From: AG 2010 <ag(a)mail.sysconfer.org> To: <NEUMANN(a)WU-WIEN.AC.AT> ================================================================= Please consider to contribute and/or forward to appropriate colleagues and groups. ================================================================= Call for Papers/Abstracts The 3rd International Symposium on Academic Globalization: AG 2010 (http://www.sysconfer.org/ag) June 29th - July 2nd ~ Orlando, Florida, USA ================================================================= Deadlines: Papers/Abstracts Submissions: April 23th, 2010 Authors Notification: May 12th, 2010 Camera Ready (Final Version): May 26th, 2010 ================================================================= AG 2010 Organizing Committee is planning to include in the symposium program 1) sessions with formal presentations, and/or 2) informal conversational sessions, and/or 3) hybrid sessions, which will have formal presentations first and informal conversations later. Submissions for Face-to-Face or for Virtual Participation are both accepted. Both kinds of submissions will have the same reviewing process and the accepted papers will be included in the same proceedings. Pre-Conference and Post-conference Virtual sessions (via electronic forums) will be held for each session included in the conference program, so that sessions papers can be read before the conference, and authors presenting at the same session can interact during one week before and after the conference. Authors can also participate in peer-to-peer reviewing in virtual sessions. All Submitted papers/abstracts will go through three reviewing processes: (1) double-blind (at least three reviewers), (2) non-blind, and (3) participative peer reviews. These three kinds of review will support the selection process of those papers/abstracts that will be accepted for their presentation at the conference, as well as those to be selected for their publication in JSCI Journal. Authors of accepted papers who registered in the conference can have access to the evaluations and possible feedback provided by the reviewers who recommended the acceptance of their papers/abstracts, so they can accordingly improve the final version of their papers. Non-registered authors will not have access to the reviews of their respective submissions. Authors of the best 10%-20% of the papers presented at the conference (included those virtually presented) will be invited to adapt their papers for their publication in the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics. Best regards, AG 2010 Organizing Committee If you wish to be removed from this mailing list, please send an email to remove(a)mail.sysconfer.org with REMOVE MLCONFERENCES in the subject line. Address: Torre Profesional La California, Av. Francisco de Miranda, Caracas, Venezuela.
