It has the following typical characteristics: multiple levels of meaningful hierarchy (subject, assignment, and question levels), time, sequence, context (a particular student in a particular class encountering a particular question in a particular problem on a particular computer at a particular time on a particular date), fine-grained (record data at different resolutions to facilitate different analyses, e.g. record data every 10s) and longitudinal (large data recorded for many sessions for a long period of time, e.g. spanning semester land year long courses). Educational Data Mining (EDM), a newly emerging inter-disciplinary research field in the discipline of computational intelligence, focuses on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining techniques to analyse data from educational settings, including interactive learning systems, intelligent tutoring systems and institutional administration data. The primary goal of EDM is to uncover scientific evidence or patterns that are useful to gain insights and explain educational phenomena. To meet the emerging research interest in educational data mining and learning analytics, this Special Session on Educational Data Mining jointly with 2012 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI2012) provides a leading forum for researchers to publish high quality original research papers with various topics in educational data mining and learning analytics. The topics of this special session may include (but not limited to) cohort analysis, attribution analysis, pathway analysis, student modelling, learning and teaching behaviour analysis, learning emotion analysis, educational psychology analysis, student performance prediction, e-learning and learning management system building, learning personalization and recommendation, learning visualization and analysis, social network analysis in educational environment, and coursework construction.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Transdisciplinary Wisdom in IS
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Dec '11

20 Dec '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Transdisciplinary Wisdom in IS Datum: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:07:13 +0200 Von: Jan Kroeze <jan.kroeze(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 TRACK: Philosophical Perspectives in IS MINI-TRACK: Transdisciplinary Wisdom in IS In today's troubled world ridden with alarming crises of all kinds, the importance of wisdom cannot be underestimated.Â If there is anything the world needs, it is wisdom. Without it, I exaggerate not at all in saying that very soon, there may be no world warns Robert J. Sternberg, eminent wisdom researcher and 2003 President of the American Psychological Association (Sternberg, 2003). Being at the pinnacle of the data-information-knowledge- wisdom pyramid (Ackoff, 1989; Zeleny, 1987), wisdom is an important goal of information systems. The IS field, with its interdisciplinary focus on the relationship between information technologies and diverse individual, organizational, and societal issues, is well-positioned to advance wisdom computing research. Wisdom is both an end and a means in IS research. Wisdom is inextricably connected with knowledge, decision support, inquiry, inquiring systems (Churchman, 1971), inquiring organizations (Courtney, Haynes, and Paradice, 2005), systems thinking, business thinking (Mitroff, 1993), and learning organizations (Senge, 1990) among other topics of interest to IS researchers. Transforming data, information, and knowledge ultimately to wisdom is seen as a necessary and critical goal by leading IS researchers past (e.g., Ackoff, 1989) and present. Transdisciplinary wisdom is a means to IS research as the diversity enriching IS goes further than the social sciences and may include the humanities as well (Kroeze, 2010; Kroeze et al., 2011). Historical, philosophical and linguistic fields are only three humanities disciplines that are relevant for IS. While wisdom defies conventional definitions and there are many theoretical perspectives on the nature of wisdom, in a sense, wisdom is concerned with inquiry on what is of true value toward the individual and collective good. Wisdom arises in a person-context interaction but can also be conceived in terms of organizations, communities, and nations. According to Sternberg's balance theory (2003), wisdom is the application of intelligence, creativity and knowledge for the common good by balancing intrapersonal, interpersonal and extrapersonal (institutional and other larger) interests. Wisdom has been related to cognitive, reflective, and affective personality characteristics including multiple perspectives and insight (Ardelt, 2004) and to self-actualization and beyond (Maslow, 1971). This minitrack will provides a platform to reflect on transdisciplinary wisdom as an end and means of IS research through the application of social science and the humanities. Three main approaches are possible: multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. Multidisciplinarity refers to the study of a phenomenon from divergent angles, with little or no integration. Interdisciplinarity amalgamates two or more perspectives, and transdisciplinarity is a holistic, blended approach transversing disciplinary limits (Van Biljon, 2011). Potential themes/topics include but are not limited to the following: * Â Â Â Â Understanding wisdom as a goal for IS and its operational definitions and dimensions * Â Â Â Â Exploring present and potential contributions of the humanities (Linguistics, History, Art, Philosophy, Theology, Law, etc.) to IS * Â Â Â Â Reflecting on multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in IS theory and practice * Â Â Â Â Reflections on bridging divisions between diverse methodologies, assumptions, and communities of practice in IS research * Â Â Â Â Applications of diverse wisdom philosophic perspectives (e.g. Eastern, Western, African, Native American, etc.) to IS * Â Â Â Â Reflections on the role of IS in producing, sharing, impacting, and supporting wisdom at the level of the individual, organization, community (real and virtual), society, culture, nation, nation-bloc, and globe * Â Â Â Â Implications of wisdom computing research for IS as a discipline References: Ackoff, R.L.

Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS minitrack CFP: smart grid
by Gustaf Neumann 20 Dec '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS minitrack CFP: smart grid Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:05:10 +0000 From: Jason Dedrick <jdedrick(a)syr.edu> To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers (CFP) 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) August 9-12, 2011, Seattle,WA, USA Track: Green IS Mini-track: Smart Grid Technologies Mini-track chairs: Jason Dedrick and Murali Venkatesh, School of Information Studies, Syracuse University DESCRIPTION: Many countries face difficult challenges in upgrading their aging electrical generation, transmission, and distribution systems, while others are still building out their electricity infrastructure. Current grid technologies lack the ability to sense and respond to system failures and outages, manage peak demand, enable consumers to monitor and manage energy use, or accommodate distributed alternative energy sources. The ?smart grid? has been identified as a solution to address these deficiencies, and to reduce the environmental impacts of electrical generation, which currently is one of the largest producers of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. The concept of smart grid is best viewed not as a specific technology but as a set of technologies that help fulfill the requirements of the next generation grid. According to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, the smart grid should: * Enable active participation by consumers * Accommodate all generation and storage options * Enable new products, services, and markets * Provide power quality for the digital economy * Optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently * Anticipate & respond to system disturbances (self-healing) * Operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster There are a number of key stakeholders with varying goals and interests in the smart grid including utilities, consumers, regulatory agencies, IT companies, and equipment manufacturers. Lack of agreement among these stakeholders raises barriers to smart grid adoption, such as a lack of established interoperability standards, privacy and security issues, and inconsistent regulatory environments. Developing systems that enable two-way communication between producers and consumers of electricity, management of demand, accommodation of distributed energy sources and more flexible pricing regimes requires advances in technology as well as addressing the motivations of the various stakeholders whose support and participation is needed. The issue of smart grid adoption and implementation is closely linked to a number of common themes in information systems, including design and system integration challenges, consumer technology acceptance, economic analysis of IS investments under uncertainty, organizational dynamics, policy and regulatory environments, and the inherently sociotechnical nature of such complex systems. So far there is little research in the IS field on smart grid technologies, yet this is potentially a very large area of future IS development activity, given the size of the electricity sector, its current low levels of IT use, and the potential to achieve major environmental improvements through energy efficiency and greater use of cleaner energy sources.To address these issues we invite papers that explore the range of technical, organizational, economic, and social perspectives on smart grid adoption. We invite high quality articles including but not limited to such topicsas: ?Design and development of smart grid technologies ?New applications for the smart grid ?Awareness, adoption, and diffusion of the smart grid by utilities ?New business models for utilities ?Organizational incentives in a regulated industry environment ?Consumer acceptance and education ?Privacy and security for the smart grid ?Government policy, including regulatory changes and incentives for adoption ?Economic impacts of smart grid adoption ?Potential environmental impacts of smart grid adoption Chair Contacts: Jason Dedrick, Associate Professor School of Information Studies Syracuse University jdedrick(a)syr.edu <mailto:jdedrick@syr.edu> Murali Venkatesh, Associate Professor School of Information Studies Syracuse University mvenkate(a)syr.edu <mailto:mvenkate@syr.edu> Important dates First week of January, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions (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 April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due Jason Dedrick, Associate Professor School of Information Studies Syracuse University 324 Hinds Hall Syracuse, NY 13244 315-443-5602 jdedrick(a)syr.edu <mailto:jdedrick@syr.edu>

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP - AMCIS 2012 Mini-Track: "IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures" Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2011 12:56:29 +0100 From: Patas, Janusch <j.patas(a)fs.de> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *CALL FOR PAPERS* 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 *TRACK*: Strategic Use of Information Technology *MINI-TRACK*: IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures *Description* An integral part of IT management is the planning, steering, controlling, and monitoring of the enterprise IT systems and infrastructure in an efficient and effective way. On the one hand, IT managers have to satisfy business requirements and demonstrate the value-generating abilities of IT to the business. On the other hand, information technology and concepts of its application are evolving rapidly and thus managers have to decide which innovation out of many should be adopted within their respective IT organization. In the last years, research and practice have developed and highlighted the benefits of new concepts to cope with these challenges. These are for instance concepts from: IT governance, IT alignment as well as enterprise architecture management. Furthermore, a lot of (best practice) reference models and frameworks (e. g. COBIT, ITIL, CMMI), standards (ISO 38500, 20000, etc.), and tools were developed and refined. They all provide methodological support to IT management. The mini track "IT Governance, Alignment, and Architectures" aims to review and discuss the state of the art of methodological support from a holistic perspective and will debate new approaches to support IT governance, business/IT alignment and IT architectures. In addition, new challenges and empirical findings should be analyzed within this domain. Both conceptual and empirical papers are welcome and will be considered for this Mini-Track. *Research papers of interest include, but are not limited to:* - Relationship between and linking of IT governance and enterprise architectures - Interdependencies between IT governance and enterprise architecture - IT governance frameworks and their application - Benefits of frameworks and standards in IT governance - Comparison, mapping and integration of IT governance/ best practice frameworks - Methodological support for IT governance and business/ IT alignment - IT governance architectures - Maturity models for IT governance, alignment and enterprise architectures - IT processes and controls - Impact of IT governance on the business value of IT - Education in IT governance - Case studies in IT governance / enterprise architecture *Mini-Track Chairs: * Matthias Goeken Danijel Milicevic Janusch Patas {m.goeken | d.milicevic | j.patas}(a)fs.de FrankfurtSchoolof Finance & Management Sonnemannstraße 9-11 60314 Frankfurt am Main Germany *Submission Procedure:* Submit your paper using the manuscript central system at -- http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 *Important Dates* .
