Relevant and useful knowledge can be across disciplines; beyond expected boundaries. Hence, effective organizational learning requires efficient and effective tools, which enable the user to effectively seek, reconstruct and transform the information gathered into meaningful and novel knowledge. The transformation of information into knowledge involves an iterative process. Learners need to /design, prototype and test out/ alternative solutions by iteratively and collaboratively investigating and designing and redesigning goals that direct convergent and divergent search processes, processes/behaviours and representations of knowledge structures in relation to a systemic whole, to achieve more effective processes and outcomes (Kolodner, Crismond, Fasse, Gray, Holbrook and Puntembakar, 2003; Vattam,Â Goel, Rugaber, Hmelo-Silver,Â Jordan, Gray andÂ Sinha, 2011). /Learning-by designing/thus adds the dimensions of generative design questioning and deep reasoning and synthesis to information discovery. By giving priority to divergent thinking above convergent thinking, generation of alternatives is likely to become richer. Ultimately, it is hoped that learners will have more ideas (be more fluent), have more categories of ideas (be more flexible), be more novel and more practical and most importantly, be intrinsically motivated and successful thinkers. This special issue aims to present an overview of how design thinking (especially with regards to creativity and cognition), can be supported, managed and sustained through the use of technology. Proposals sought range from lessons from the industry to academia. The special issueâ??s scope covers how intelligent technologies can scaffold creative processes and how user experience can be augmented in creative and engaging ways. Â Recommended topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ï?·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Intelligent and creative interface design ï?·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Building a community of inquiry, reflection and collaborative creativity ï?·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Roadmap: transitioning from experimental stages to every day applications ï?·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Visions on the future of the book ï?·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Approaches, creative processes and technologies for increased engagement ï?·Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Techniques towards enhancing user experience: Augmented Reality, Augmented Books, Digital Manipulatives, Tangible Interfaces.

Januar 2012!) interPM 2012 IT-Projektmanagement 2012+ im Spagat zwischen Industrialisierung und Agilität? 11.-12. Mai 2012 Glashütten bei Frankfurt am Main www.interpm.de Eine gemeinsame Konferenz der - Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. GI, Fachgruppe Projektmanagement - GPM Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement e.V. Ziele der Konferenz =================== Die »interPM« ist eine interdisziplinäre Konferenz, bei der Vertreter unterschiedlicher Berufsgruppen zu einem Dialog über die Weiterentwicklung des Projektmanagements (PM) zusammenkommen. Das Ziel ist, Ansätze und Methoden des PM aus der Perspektive verschiedener Disziplinen mit Experten aus Wirtschaft, Forschung und Beratung kritisch zu reflektieren, neu zu denken, zusammenzubringen, um so etwas Neues, Fruchtbares, Nützliches für die Praxis entstehen zu lassen. In Form und Inhalt ist die »interPM« ein lebendiger Ort der Diskussion, des Gedanken- und Erfahrungsaustausches und keine reine Vortragsveranstaltung. Leitthema 2012: IT-Projektmanagement 2012+ im Spagat zwischen Industrialisierung und Agilität? =============================================================================== Agiles Projektmanagement hat seinen Ursprung in Softwareentwicklungsprojekten und hat sich dort in der Praxis bewährt. Agile Vorgehensweisen, Scrum, SW-Kanban & Co. entfalten ihr größtes Potenzial offenbar bei komplexen Entwicklungsvorhaben, also in einem dynamischen Kontext mit vielen Überraschungen. Was sind die Charakteristiken einer Industrialisierung der Softwareentwicklung und inwieweit widersprechen diese den Anforderungen komplexer Entwicklungsvorgaben? Welche Besonderheiten agiler Verfahren sind in industrialisierten Entwicklungen anwendbar? Und welche Besonderheiten industrieller Entwicklungen sind in agilen Verfahren einsetzbar? Die Konferenz will hierbei folgende Fragestellungen und Themen adressieren: - Welche Widersprüche existieren zwischen Agilität und Industrialisierung und wie können diese kreativ nutzbar gemacht werden? - Wie wird Agilität (selbst-)organisiert und wie passt Selbstorganisation in den Kontext von Vorgaben und Standards industrieller Praxis? - Welche alten und neuen Rollen gibt es? Brauchen wir noch Projektmanager, Anforderungsspezialisten oder Softwarearchitekten bzw. wer braucht welche Kompetenzen? - Welche Auswirkungen hat agile Praxis auf die Personalentwicklung, Karrieremodelle und das Kompetenzmanagement in Unternehmen? - Was ist die Essenz von Agilität und Industrialisierung? Welches sind die grundlegenden Prinzipien, die in unterschiedlichsten Kontexten entfaltet werden müssen? - Wie geht es weiter nach Agilität? Welche Grenzen im Denken und Handeln beinhalten Scrum, Kanban & Co. und wie können wir diese überwinden? Konferenzverlauf ================ Die Konferenz bietet Fachvorträge mit Diskussionen sowie Open Space Workshops und Fishbowl-Sessions für den intensiven Erfahrungsaustausch. Im Mittelpunkt stehen ein fachübergreifender Dialog zwischen den Teilnehmern und die Vernetzung, auch über die Veranstaltung hinaus.

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 – 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.

Fwd: [WI] CFP: Mini-Track "Social Analytics and Economics of Social Media" at AMCIS 2012

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: Mini-Track "Social Analytics and Economics of Social Media" at AMCIS 2012 Datum: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:22:14 +0000 Von: Mathias KLIER <Mathias.Klier(a)uibk.ac.at> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> Kopie (CC): rajagopa(a)oakland.edu <rajagopa(a)oakland.edu>, Florian Probst (florian.probst(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de) <florian.probst(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> ************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS 18^th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2012) Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/) Track: Virtual Communities and Virtual Worlds Mini-Track: Social Analytics and Economics of Social Media ************************************************************ Deadline for paper submissions: March 1, 2012 (11:59 PM Pacific time zone) ========================================================= Mini-Track Description: ================== Social Media are generating an enormous social and economic impact. A plethora of different Social Media platforms and technologies for social networking (e.g., Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn), for knowledge and multimedia sharing (e.g., Flickr, Wikipedia, YouTube), or for awareness creation (e.g., Foursquare, Twitter) are changing not only our personal but also organizational behavior. By revolutionizing communication, collaboration, and consumption patterns within, across, and beyond organizational boundaries, Social Media bears numerous challenges but also unimagined possibilities for research and practice. The availability of a profound amount of data on social structures and interactions allows to reveal precious knowledge that was previously unknown. For example, individuals and organizations are faced with unique opportunities (e.g., via listening tools) to enrich their understanding about the influence and the diffusion of information in Social Media. Analyzing these data could consequently provide deeper insights into how social structures, communication patterns, and individuals' behavior evolve. Taken together, Social Analytics might thus provide new perspectives on challenges and possibilities of Social Media for providers (e.g., regarding advertisement, business models, users churn), for organizations (e.g., regarding knowledge sharing, crowdsourcing, viral diffusion, business value), and for societies in a broader sense (e.g., regarding uprisings, public sentiment, financial markets). This mini-track is designed to stimulate rigorous and relevant investigations in the context of Social Analytics and Economics of Social Media. All lenses of inquiry are encouraged, including strategic, organizational, behavioral, economic, and technical. We welcome theoretical, analytical, design-oriented, and empirical research using any kind of research method. Real world applications in respect to particular industries such as retail and e-commerce are also particularly welcome and encouraged. Suggested Topics: ============== Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: * Evolution of communication and behavior patterns in Social Media * Application of social network analysis and mining * Diffusion of information in Social Media (e.g., real-time capture, emerging phenomena) * Sentiment analysis in Social Media (e.g., analysis and manipulation of public sentiment) * Identification of (sub)communities and their evolution over time * Social Media and prediction * Implications and potential of Social Media for marketing * Business value of Social Media and business models for Social Media providers * The rise and fall of specific Social Media platforms (e.g., success factors, churn prevention) * Migration between Social Media platforms over time * Social Media and Customer Relationship Management (e.g., customer acquisition) * Social Media and consumer behavior (e.g., social commerce) * Social Media and recommendation systems * Social Media and information search * The use of Social Media in crowdsourcing * The interplay between online and offline social networks * The impact of Social Media in specific industries Important Dates: ============= - 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: Notification of acceptance - April 20, 2012 (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Final 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 - August 9-12, 2012: AMCIS Conference Submission Site: ============= http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Mini-Track Chairs: ============== Balaji Rajagopalan School of Business Administration Oakland University Rochester, MI, USA rajagopa(a)oakland.edu <mailto:rajagopa@oakland.edu> Mathias Klier (primary contact) Department of Information Systems, Production and Logistics Management University of Innsbruck Innsbruck, Austria mathias.klier(a)uibk.ac.at <mailto:mathias.klier@uibk.ac.at> Florian Probst FIM Research Center Finance & Information Management University of Augsburg Augsburg, Germany florian.probst(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de <mailto:florian.probst@wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> Best regards, Mathias Klier -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Mathias Klier Leopold-Franzens-University of Innsbruck School of Management Information Systems ------------------------------------- Universitaetsstrasse 15 A-6020 Innsbruck Austria Phone: +43 (0) 512 507 7685 Fax: +43 (0) 512 507 9809 Email: mathias.klier(a)uibk.ac.at <mailto:bernd.heinrich@uibk.ac.at> WWW: http://www.uibk.ac.at/wipl ----------------------------------------------------------------
