-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2nd CfP: 2nd Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2012) Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2011 03:57:06 +0100 From: Program Chair <programchair(a)ciaonetwork.org> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de =================================================================== 2nd Enterprise Engineering Working Conference (EEWC 2012) http://www.ciaonetwork.org/eewc2012 May, 07-08, 2012 Delft, The Netherlands Proceedings published in Springer Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) =================================================================== Motivation ---------- Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences, and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about changes. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. Only engineers bring about changes. In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These responsibilities can only be borne if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the construction of the enterprise. Focus and Goal -------------- The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is the second working conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering. The goal of the conference is to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about the challenges mentioned above. It is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to address traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise Engineering Paradigm (www.ciaonetwork.org/publications/EEManifesto.pdf). The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant. Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not limited to: * Enterprise Ontology * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Governance * Enterprise modeling and simulation * Domain ontologies * Modeling (cross-enterprise) business processes * Reference models for (cross-enterprise) business processes * Business Process Management * Business Rules Management * Information systems design * Information system architectures * Component based system design * Service Oriented Design * Business process modeling and simulation * Participatory systems Organization ------------ The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 follows the successful 1st EEWC in 2011, and the preceding series of workshops (CIAO!'10, CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous workshops and working conference, the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2012 is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following short presentations. Publication ----------- The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series "Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing". Submission Conditions --------------------- Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at Springer LNBIP web page. Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.

Semantic technologies promise to deliver innovative and effective solutions to this problem, facilitating the realization of information integration mechanisms that allow collaboration systems to provide the added value they are expected to. Two fundamental problems are inherent to the design of integrated collaboration solutions: (i) semantic inaccessibility, caused by the failure to explicitly specify the semantic content of the information contained within the subsystems that must share information in order to collaborate effectively; and (ii) logical disconnectedness: caused by the failure to explicitly represent constraints between the information managed by the different collaborating subsystems. Mainstream EAI technologies deal with information and information management tasks at the syntactic level. Data protocols and standards that are used to facilitate seamless information exchange and ‘plug and play’ interoperability do not take into account the meaning of the underlying information and the view of the individual stakeholders on the information exchanged. What is lacking are mechanisms that have the ability to capture, store, and manage the meaning of the data and artifacts that need to be shared for collaborative problem solving, decision support, planning, and execution. Semantic information sharing and integration technologies will provide an important collaboration enabling mechanism for the emerging net-centric systems and the information grid. Further, it is likely that advances in this area will support multiple modes of collaboration with disparate and cross-cutting technologies. This workshop, held as part of CTS 2012, will bring together researchers and experts interested in bridging the gaps between the different technologies, and between technologies and applications. We invite original contributions on the technology practice and user experience for these emerging and important areas from researchers in academia, industry, and research institutions. The workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following: • Ontology-based Methods for Information Integration • Semantics-based Integration and Interoperability • Semantic Workflow Orchestration • Semantic Mediation Methods • Semantic Discovery and Matchmaking Services • Collaborative Knowledge Engineering and Management • Using Semantic Wikis for Collaborative Applications • Semantic Searching • Semantics for Mobility • Ontologies • Semantic Technologies and Languages • Agile Development of Semantic Applications • Semantically-enabled Integration Solutions for the Sensor Web, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Emergency Management, Energy Management, e-Commerce, Finance, Marketing, and Advertising PAPER SUBMISSION You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above topics and beyond, related to semantic technologies and information-integrated collaboration. Submitted papers must not have been published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Submission should include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author and include up to 6 keywords from the above list of topics and an abstract of no more than 400 words.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2012 - Minitrack on Negative Cognitions About IS Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:02:12 -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.

[Apologies if you receive multiple times, please circulate this to your colleagues who might be interested, thank you so much.] ------- SI on Emotional Intelligence for Online Learning Call for Papers ----------- Special Issue on Emotional Intelligence for Online Learning (http://maiga.athabascau.ca/editors/JDET-Special_Issue-2011-Emotional_Intell…) in International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (EI Journal) (http://www.igi-global.com/Bookstore/TitleDetails.aspx?TitleId=1078&DetailsT…) Many intelligent tutoring systems have been developed and used to support students' learning. Good online learning systems require emotional communications happened in-between the tutors and the learners. Emotions play an important role when users engage in career or drama training, or language learning situations via role-play. Interpreting player experience and affect from open-ended verbal communication and diverse body language has been challenging research tasks. It further promotes the importance of such studies when employing diverse game-play modalities (e.g. mobile interfaces and augmented reality platforms) and when recognizing affect and mood from metaphorical affective expressions, dialogue context, emotionally ambiguous or non-prototypical spoken utterances, facial expressions and gestures. Such research is significantly beneficial to the development of intelligent virtual agents which are capable of interpreting social relationships, context, general mood and emotion, sensing or reasonably predicating others' inter-conversion, identifying its role and participating intelligently in open-ended interaction. How to develop a system which can identify user's emotion and/or present its feelings to the user according to user's words, behaviors, and performance in online learning is definitely an important, a very helpful as well an interesting research topic. The purpose of this special issue is to explore how models, theories, and solutions of emotion intelligence can be used in online learning and what benefits users can receive from such emotion intelligence-embedded systems and agents. Guest Editors (in alphabet order): Dr. Maiga Chang, Dr. Rita Kuo and Dr. Li Zhang Suggested topics: We cordially invite authors to submit high quality manuscripts for any application domain as long as the core of the manuscript belongs to: - Affect sensing from text, speech, facial expression and gestures - Affect inspired interactive intelligent games (e.g., mobile interfaces, augmented reality platforms, natural user interfaces - non touch based user interfaces) - Emotion modelling and generation - Human computer interaction issues and challenges that affective computing/emotional intelligence solutions for online learning may have - Emotional tutoring agents/learning companions/interactive robots - Affective computing tools, systems and applications for online learning - Emotional intelligent agents for assisting teaching or learning - Multi-agent based affective computing systems and applications - Practical experiences in using& deploying emotional intelligence for online learning - Successful cases of applying emotional intelligence to online learning - Not-so-successful cases and the lessons learnt - Evaluation models for emotional intelligent agents/systems Important dates and manuscript guidelines: All submissions have to follow IGI Global journal manuscript guidelines and should be sent to the guest editors directly via email (maiga.chang(a)gmail.com, rita.mcsl(a)gmail.com and L.Zhang(a)cs.bham.ac.uk) by February 28, 2012.

Many tutors design web-based teaching materials and share them in the learning management systems. Learners develop knowledge from those materials, tutor supports, and the collaborations with other learners in distance in the online learning environment and platforms. While information technology changes rapidly and the variety of online learning activities increase, especially with the aid of social network and Web 2.0 tools that are available to instruction designers, we may need to consider how to provide learners personalized pedagogical service which can help them learn more efficiently. In order to have such personalized service, both course contents and learner's characteristics need to be well analyzed. How to retrieve useful information from learning materials, data stored in the learning management systems, and discussions and interactions among learners and how to design and use information retrieval technologies to improve learner's online learning performance become interesting and important topics. The purpose of this special issue is to explore how models, theories, and solutions of information retrieval and content analysis can be used in online learning and what benefits users can receive from such systems and agents.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2012 Minitrack – Ethics in Information Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Dec '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2012 Minitrack – Ethics in Information Systems Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:41:56 +1300 From: Alan Litchfield <alan.litchfield(a)aut.ac.nz> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for papers Track: Philosophical Perspectives in IS (SIGPhilosophy) Mini-track: Ethics in Information Systems For research and professional practice in the field of Information Systems, ethics maintains a broad range of concerns that impact the work of professionals, academics and researchers, and the work and lives of those who are dependent upon the successful and appropriate deployment of information systems (for example, Chatterjee, Sarker& Fuller, 2009; Mingers and Walsham, 2010). Recent world events reported in the media highlight the need for a constant review of ethics, both in application and theory, through sociopolitical and sociotechnical lenses. The use and application of computing technologies typically derives positive and negative influences for humanity. Accounts exist of the negative impacts of unforeseen events, the misuse of technologies, or the corruption of otherwise well-intentioned technologies, as well as being part of a wider negative impact on the environment. It is when such events occur that the role that practitioners and researcher play is brought into question. Typically, ethics in computing and information technology has concentrated on certain specific areas such as whether ethics in computing is a unique field, how ethics is treated pedagogically, issues of logic versus moral responsibility, matching computer use against human values, the ethics of professionals and practitioners, and so on. However, some of the debates regarding ethics have been renewed in light of recent advances in technology and the uses to which technology is applied. Moor (1985, p. 266) says: “A typical problem in computer ethics arises because there is a policy vacuum about how computer technology should be used. Computers provide us with new capabilities and these in turn give us new choices for action. Often, either no policies for conduct in these situations exist or existing policies seem inadequate. A central task of computer ethics is to determine what we should do in such cases, that is, formulate policies to guide our actions.” This mini-track provides a forum for the expression of debates and arguments surrounding these and other issues. Authors can present cases that have arisen out of present and past researches, and events that clarify ethical dimensions. Papers should be of a standard where specific issues are identified and questions or solutions presented. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: ● Applications of classical ethical theory ● Computer crime ● Ethics in research ● Ethics issues and arguments on IS related phenomena that include security, knowledge management, strategy, information systems development, collaboration, plus others. ● Ethics issues and arguments that face IS researchers and academics in the preparation and execution of their practice. ● Ethics of information use and misuse, especially in an increasingly networked world ● Ethics of professionals and practitioners ● Globalization of computerization and its effect on society ● Intellectual property issues ● Logic versus moral responsibility ● Matching computer use against human values ● Pedagogical issues in ethics education ● Privacy and anonymity issues ● The encroachment of information technologies into the lives of people ● The ethics of distance learning in advanced education ● The impacts of social networking on the work place ● The use and misuse of computers in the workplace References Moor, J.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 CFP ~~~ Mini-Track: Diffusion of IS Innovations in Social Networks Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 15:15:53 -0500 From: Anand Jeyaraj <anand.jeyaraj(a)wright.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2012 http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ Minitrack: Diffusion of IS Innovations in Social Networks Track: Adoption and Diffusion of Information Technology (SIGADIT <http://www.sigadit.org/>) August 9-12, 2012, Seattle, Washington CALL FOR PAPERS The diffusion of information systems (IS) innovations can be visualized as a process of communication by which members of a social system may become aware of IS innovations over time. The social system may comprise individuals or organizations, deal with formal or informal connections, exist for hedonic or instrumental purposes, structured as aristocratic or egalitarian networks, and based on strong or weak ties among members. Communication mechanisms and patterns within such social systems can vary considerably and can significantly affect the diffusion process over time. We solicit theoretical expositions and empirical investigations that deal with the diffusion of IS innovations. Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following: - Types of communication channels for diffusion of IS innovations - Relationship between network characteristics (e.g., network centrality) and diffusion - Speed of diffusion of IS innovations within networks - Effects of organizational (or network level) mechanisms on diffusion - Political moves underlying diffusion of IS innovations - Positive and negative communication regarding IS innovations and diffusion - Patterns of diffusion (e.g., S-shaped curve) within social networks - Modeling diffusion within social networks DATES First week of January, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2012: Authors notified of acceptance decisions April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Camera ready copy due for accepted papers SUBMISSIONS: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Mini-track Chair: Anand Jeyaraj <mailto:anand.jeyaraj@wright.edu>, Wright State University ================================================= Anand Jeyaraj, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems Department of Information Systems & Operations Management Raj Soin College of Business 251 Rike Hall Wright State University 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway Dayton OH 45435 Voice: 937-775-2189 Fax: 937-775-3533 Web: http://www.wright.edu/~anand.jeyaraj
