-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] AMCIS2012 Minitrack: IS for Sustainable Business Practices and their Organizational Adoption (Track: Green IS) Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:43:41 +0100 From: Gilbert Fridgen <gilbert.fridgen(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, wkwi(a)seda.wiai.uni-bamberg.de, wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de CC: jsarkis(a)clarku.edu, helmetgu(a)chosun.ac.kr, stefan.seidel(a)uni.li CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: Green IS: Building Research Programs and Designing Curricula (SIGGREEN) Minitrack: Information Systems for Sustainable Business Practices and their Organizational Adoption Minitrack Chairs: Joseph Sarkis, Gilbert Fridgen, Chulmo Koo, Stefan Seidel Green IS and sustainable business practices have increasingly found their way into the agenda of researchers and practitioners. Green IS relates to both, infrastructures and organizational aspects of environmental technology. Sustainable business practices include Green IS but entail a more general view, considering people, processes, software, and information technology to support individual, organizational, and societal objectives. Information in general and information systems in particular, can play an important role in supporting sustainable business practices, e.g. regarding supply chains, life cycle analyses, recycling, or resource consumption (including energetic and non-energetic resources). This minitrack focuses on the one hand on the design of artifacts that support sustainable business practices and on the other hand on measures to ensure their organizational adoption. The environmental awareness of IS managers is one of the potential starting points for future investigations. The IS discipline is challenged to provide insights into how organizations can leverage their IS capabilities to effectively address environmental issues while simultaneously considering economic imperatives such as management of risk and return, and competitive advantage. Decisions related to sustainable business practices, inevitably, will be strategic in nature, with fundamental changes across organizations, and IS can play a central role in this effort. We invite contributions from a broad spectrum including business information systems, engineering, business administration, management, operations research, applied computer science, and economics in order to fully incorporate technical and business aspects. We also invite practitioners that will enrich the discussions through their business experiences. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: IS for sustainable business practices: - Green supply chain management& logistics - Environmental management systems - Life cycle analysis - Reuse, recycling, remanufacturing - Metals& minerals informatics - IS for green industrial eco-systems - IS to support carbon management, accounting and reporting Organizational adoption of sustainable business practices: - Motivations for greening within organizations - Organizational adoption of sustainably business practices - Information systems for an environmental awareness - Technologies greening organizations (e.g. mobile systems, cloud computing, remote sensing) - Green awareness and communication for formulating organizational strategy Important dates: - AMCIS 2012 will begin accepting manuscript submissions on January 3, 2012. - Deadline for submissions is March 1, 2012. - You will receive notification by April 6, 2012 whether or not your paper is accepted. - If your paper is accepted, submit the camera-ready copy by April 25, 2012.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012: CFP SiGDSS - Minitrack on "Towards new Business Intelligence Architectures" Datum: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 17:43:15 +0100 Von: Sebastian Olbrich <sebastian.olbrich(a)arcor.de> An: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012** Track: Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (SIGDSS) Mini-Track Title: Towards new Business Intelligence Architectures DESCRIPTION Business Intelligence (BI) denotes integrated, IT-based approaches to decision support based on internal and external data. A BI approach binds together technologies, applications, and processes for gathering, storing, accessing, and analyzing data to help its users make better and more consistent decisions. BI thereby contributes to an organization's competitiveness and sustainable development. The complexity of this task requires a prudent design of architectures that balance efficiency and consistency requirements (usually based on a Data Warehouse (SW) as the central hub for transforming data into relevant information) with demands for agility. The latter have gained significantly in relevance in the current turbulent, global, and networked business environments. Examples include * the quick exploitation of new and advanced analytic functionality, e.g. for data, text, or process mining, * the deployment of real-time-triggers, or * the fast inclusion and analysis of innovative data sources, e.g. large volumes of textual data from the web and the web 2.0 (Big Data), from governments (Open Data), or from new internal systems (e.g. sensor data from manufacturing and logistics). New solutions proposed to deal with these challenges include in-memory- BI or cloud-based BI -- approaches that raise a multitude of issues regarding their integration into BI architectures. In order to be successful, architecture design needs to be backed up by a multitude of organisational measures, e.g. crafting an information management strategy, deriving appropriate responsibilities and processes (i.e. data and BI governance), managing DW/BI financials (e.g. funding and charging), communicating DW/BI potential to the business, and aligning DW/BI demand and supply. BI therefore deals with the effective deployment of organizational practices, processes, and technology to create wealth from an organization's intangible assets such as knowledge, skills, expertise and capabilities. The focus of this track is on acquisition, creation, transfer, internalization, and utilization of knowledge and decision making capital at individual, group, organizational and societal level. It aims to promote theoretical design science and behavioural research in these domains. We welcome regular full-length papers related to the enabling role of information systems in decision making and information management. We are particularly interested in the recent technological advances in the field of online and real-time information processes. We therefore encourage submissions that address the application of these technologies and the changes that the applications depend on. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * * Economics of and metrics for a BI based information management * Strategy and critical success factors for adopting recent developments in technology (e.g. in-memory databases, BI in the cloud) * Agile DW architectures that make use of the adoption of new technologies * Design, development, and use of BI applications * Enablers and barriers of the organizational adoption of BI systems * Acquisition, integration and adoption of BI in various organizational and social contexts * Management of decision makers and resources * Impact of BI programs or applications on individual, group, and organizational performance; on organizational strategy; and/or on innovation. * Role of IT-based knowledge and/or decision making resources for competitive action * Role of inter-organizational and social networks for creating knowledge/intelligence * Cross-cultural and cross-organisational issues affecting BI architecture * BI architectures for enabling Data Mining and Decision Support based on unstructured data (e.g. from the web or the web 2.0) IMPORTANT DATES: January 3, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions April 6, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date April 25, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready 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.
