PAPER ONE Post-Acceptance Intentions and Behaviors: An Empirical Investigation of Information Technology Use and Innovation Pamela E. Carter, North Carolina A&T State University, USA Jason Bennett Thatcher, Clemson University, USA Katherine M. Chudoba, Utah State University, USA Kent Marett, Mississippi State University, USA Due to its extensive use for the study of information technology adoption and use, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) serves as an ideal base model for the study of post-acceptance IT diffusion outcomes. The research presented in this paper incrementally builds on TAM-based research to gain meaningful insights into the potential differences individuals' exhibit in three types of diffusion outcomes in a post-acceptance context. The authors model and test the effects of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on intentions to use, intentions to explore, and trying to innovate - IT diffusion outcomes proposed as vital in a post-acceptance context. In addition to TAM predictive variables, the authors investigate how autonomy, a personal control factor, and subjective norms, a social factor, influence individuals' intentions toward and behaviors associated with technology use. The findings suggest cognitive intention outcomes are more likely to be influenced by technology-related factors, while behavioral outcomes are more likely to be influenced by social and personal control factors in post-acceptance contexts. Implications of the study for practice and future research are also discussed.

Although behavioral research on IS security has received increasing attention from IS scholars, little empirical research has examined this problem. To address this research gap, the authors test a model based on Rational Choice Theory (RCT)-a prominent criminological theory not yet applied in IS-which explains, in terms of a utilitarian calculation, an individual's decision to commit a violation. Empirical results show that the effects of informal sanctions, moral beliefs, and perceived benefits convincingly explain employee IS security policy violations, while the effect of formal sanctions is insignificant. Based on these findings, the authors discuss several implications for research and practice.

But while providing convenience to individuals and organizations, these applications can pose a significant remote user authentication challenge. Current authentication systems can be strengthened by adding an additional biometric layer to an existing authentication process. This paper addresses implementing such a solution by 1) presenting a novel biometric method that uses key-press pressure and timing patterns from a typed password to determine whether the person typing it is its true owner (even with a compromised PIN); and 2) investigating differences in perceptions of biometric keypads between two user groups, nursing and computing majors. Results reveal that combining pressure and timing patterns leads to better authentication compared with timing patterns alone. Furthermore, nursing majors are more cautious in accepting biometric keypad technology than computing majors, suggesting that care must be taken when introducing such technologies to different groups of people.

Andres, North Carolina A&T State University, USA This study takes a direct observation research approach to examine how the impact of collaboration mode on team productivity and process satisfaction is mediated by shared mental model. Team cognition and social impact theories are integrated to provide a framework for explaining how technology-mediated collaboration constrains or enhances team shared mental model development and its subsequent impact on task outcomes. Partial least squares analysis revealed that technology-mediated collaboration impacts shared mental model development. The results also demonstrate that timely and accurate development of shared mental model facilitates increases in both productivity and team process satisfaction. Direct observation of team process behaviors suggests that collaboration modes differ not only in their impact on communication facilitation but efficacy-based, motivational, and social influence factors (e.g., self-efficacy and team-efficacy, perceived salience and credibility of contributions, social influence on action, etc.) as well. Shared mental model development requires quality communication among team members that are motivated to participate by a positive team climate that promotes idea convergence.

Aguirre-Urreta, DePaul University, USA George M. Marakas, University of Kansas, USA In this paper, the authors conduct a study to explore the evaluation and choice between candidate software applications. Using business professionals, technology adoption is investigated by presenting participants with an alternative choice set using software applications relevant to the professional domain of the subjects. Results from this study, focusing on models of intentions, provide evidence to suggest the underlying process by which choice behaviors are determined and demonstrate the value of incorporating choice into models of technology adoption, particularly in situations where selection is made from a set of candidate technologies, such as in an organizational adoption decision. In addition, theoretically derived models of comparison processes are examined to develop further understanding into how individuals arrive at a specific choice behavior. A second study is conducted to further validate the obtained results. Implications for future research into the processes leading to adoption of information technologies are also presented.

Joyner <EddJoyner(a)awoic.org> Reply-To: <EddJoyner(a)awoic.org> Organization: JW Press (ABWIC/ICLAHE) To: <neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at> Dear Gustaf Neumann: Please consider participating in this Joint Conference. If you are not interested at this time, please pass this announcement on to someone you think might be interested. *__* *CALL FOR PAPERS, ABSTRACTS, REVIEWERS, and MODERATORS* *JOINT CONFERENCE* May 23^rd , 24^th , and 25^th 2012 *Academic Business World International Conference* and *International Conference on Learning and Administration in Higher Education * (Register for one, attend both) Nashville, TN at the Holiday Inn Vanderbilt Submission Deadlines: Full Papers---April 1^st , 2012 Abstract-only submissions---April 23^rd 2012 __ *Academic Business World International Conference *http://ABWIC.org (Click above link for full conference information)** Papers in all traditional areas of business as well as any of the reference disciplines are solicited, with particular emphasis on papers in early development stages and papers involved with non-traditional paradigms. Papers with an international perspective are especially desired. Submit papers to any of the following tracks: Accounting Track Accounting Standards (US-GAAP vs. IFRS) Track Business Ethics Track Economics Track Finance Track Information Systems and Technology Track Management (General) Track Management (OB/OT) Track Management (POM) Track Management (HRM) Track Marketing Track General Business Track *International Conference on Learning and Administration in Higher Education* http://ICLAHE.org (Click above link for full conference information)** We encourage the submission of full papers, and abstracts to any of the following tracks: *Learning Track* This track is not limited to just pedagogical research but also includes papers that share experiences and viewpoints on the state of learning/teaching in higher education today and tomorrow. We believe that much of the learning process is not discipline specific and that we can all benefit from looking at research and practices outside our own discipline. Too often in higher education, expertise in a field of study is assumed to automatically translate into the ability to help students learn that field of study. The ideal submission would take a general focus on learning rather than a discipline-specific perspective. For example, instead of focusing on Motivating Students in Group Projects in a specific course, you might broaden the perspective to Motivating Students in Group Projects in Upper Division Courses or simply Motivating Students in Group Projects. The objective here is to share your work with the larger audience. Typical topics have included using qualitative measures and assignments in a quantitative course, importance of prerequisites, internships, service learning, student/faculty feedback, team issues, online and hybrid courses, academic honesty, ethics in IS, can ethics be taught, Forsyth's ethics position, learning styles, effective use of technology, experiential learning, etc. *Academic Administration Track* We believe that many of the challenges facing academic departments are not discipline specific and that learning how other departments address these challenges will be beneficial. Typical topics have been accreditation, faculty moral, faculty productivity, how to make the transition from faculty to administration and back again, meeting external standards, optimizing course schedules, caught in the middle between higher administration and faculty, IS in academic administration, ethics in scholarship, etc. __________________________________________________________________________________ *INFORMATION APPLICABLE TO BOTH CONFERENCES* *Participation:* If you are interested in moderating a session or reviewing submitted papers, contact Dr. Edd R. Joyner (Conference Chair) at eddjoyner(a)awoic.org Please indicate the broadest academic areas you feel comfortable reviewing. *Review Process:* All papers will be blind reviewed by three or more peer reviewers. Authors will normally be notified of the status of their papers within 2-weeks of submission. Accepted articles will be published in the refereed conference proceedings. Papers receiving Best Paper awards will be published in one of our Journals (See below.) *Abstracts:* While only full papers are eligible for publications in the Journals listed below, Abstracts are welcome for presentation at the conference. *Journals Associated with the Conferences: * The best papers, as rated by reviewers, will be published (subject to possible revision to meet publication standards) in one of the following journals: /International Journal of the Academic Business World/(IJABW) ISSN 1942-6089 (print), ISSN 1942-6097 (online) IJABW is a peer-reviewed journal in its fifth year of publication and is listed in Cabell's Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Business. /Journal of Learning in Higher Education/(JLHE) ISSN: 1936-346X (print) JLHE is a peer-reviewed journal in its seventh year of publication and is listed in Cabell's Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Educational Psychology and Administration. /Journal of Academic Administration in Higher Education/(JAAHE) ISSN: 1936-3478 (print) JAAHE is in its seventh year of publication and is listed in Cabell's Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Educational Psychology and Administration.

The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012: Data and Information Quality of Unstructured Data (CFP) Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 21:17:14 -0500 From: Irit Askira Gelman <askira(a)cox.net> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) =========================================================== Track: DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY (SIGDQIQ) Minitrack: DATA AND INFORMATION QUALITY OF UNSTRUCTURED DATA August 9-12, 2012, Seattle, Washington http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ =========================================================== --- DESCRIPTION --- Unstructured data include free-form text such as found in word processing documents, e-mail, Web pages, spreadsheets, and text files, as well as nontextual data—images, sound, video, and graphics. Estimates of the proportion of unstructured data in organizations are staggering—analysts estimate that 80 percent of the data are unstructured. Analysts have also observed that the major drivers for unstructured data growth are Microsoft Office, email attachments, and backup and archival, as well as the generation of multiple and distributed copies of data. In particular, the Web is a primary unstructured information source for nearly every knowledge worker. Evidently, organizations that rely solely on structured, record-oriented data have incomplete information. In recent years, there is a growing interest in accessing unstructured data and utilizing them, often together with structured data. Applications vary from counter-terrorism and biomedical information extraction to business intelligence, customer relationship management, and more. Although they have enormous potential for improving the completeness of information in particular and its quality in general, unstructured data introduce numerous new challenges for data and information quality research. We welcome papers that address technical, managerial, and/or societal data quality challenges or solutions for fulfilling the potential of unstructured data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following list: -- Data quality on the Web -- Business intelligence with structured and unstructured data -- Social aspects of data quality -- Integration of structured and unstructured data -- Reconciliation of comparable sources -- Scalability and scalable solutions -- Reusing and repurposing unstructured data -- Governance of unstructured data -- Cost and benefit assessments -- Quality assessment methods and cleansing of complex data --- JOURNAL PUBLICATION ---- Extended versions of outstanding papers will be fast-tracked to ACM JDIQ ( http://jdiq.acm.org/ ). ---- SUBMISSION PROCESS ---- All conference submissions must be submitted electronically through the AMCIS Manuscript Central 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. ---- IMPORTANT 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: 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 ----- MINITRACK CHAIRS---- Irit Askira Gelman , DQIQ Research and Solutions , askirai(a)dqiqsolutions.com Adir Even , Ben-Gurion University , adireven(a)bgu.ac.il ---- FURTHER INFORMATION ---- AMCIS 2012 Conference Website: http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ Or contact Minitrack Chairs _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special session on Process Mining at the 2012 IEEE CEC/WCCI Conference (Brisbane, Australia 10-15 June 2012) Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 20:10:52 +1000 From: Moe Wynn <m.wynn(a)qut.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS The IEEE Task Force on Process Mining (www.win.tue.nl/ieeetfpm) is organizing a special session at the 2012 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence/ IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE CEC/WCCI 2012). The goal of this special session is to join experts in the area of process mining to present new techniques and applications. Therefore, submissions of papers on new process mining techniques, computational intelligence applications of process mining, business intelligence, automated business process discovery, conformance checking, process intelligence, etc., are welcome. See http://processminingcec2012.wordpress.com/ for more details on the special session. See http://www.ieee-wcci2012.org/ieee-wcci2012/ for detailed submission information. Process mining is a relative young research discipline that sits between computational intelligence and data mining on one hand, and process modeling and analysis on the other hand. The idea of process mining is to discover, monitor and improve real processes (not assumed processes) by extracting knowledge from event logs readily available in today's systems. Process mining provides an important bridge between data mining and business process modeling and analysis. Process mining research started in the late nineties. At that time there was little event data available and the process mining techniques were extremely naive and hence unusable. Over the last decade, event data has become readily available and process mining techniques have matured. Moreover, process mining algorithms have been implemented in various academic and commercial systems. Today, there is an active group of researchers working on process mining and it has become one of the "hot topics" in BPM research. Moreover, there is a huge interest from industry in process mining. More and more software vendors started adding process mining functionality to their tools. Furthermore, the diverse range of computational intelligence approaches and methodologies are well suited to approaches combining process mining and other computational intelligence adaptive business systems. Important Dates: Full paper submission due: December 19, 2011 Notification of acceptance: February 20, 2012 Final paper submission date: April 2, 2012 Conference dates: June 10-15, 2012 Organizers: Dr. Moe Thandar Wynn, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Prof. dr.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP for AMCIS 2012 Mini-track on Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2011 04:47:20 -0500 From: Glenn Dardick <gdardick(a)dardick.net> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CFP for AMCIS 2012 Mini-track on **Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security * *Mini-Track Chair:* ** *Glenn S. Dardick, Ph.D., CCE (gdardick(a)dardick.net <mailto:gdardick@dardick.net>) * Director, Longwood Center for Cyber Security, Forensics and Policy Longwood University, Farmville, VA USA *Description:* ** This Mini-Track will address research and curriculum in the related disciplines and intersection of cyber security and cyber forensics. The areas of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security are overlapping areas of extreme importance -- not just to the national security of countries around the world, but within those areas under rule of law where electronic evidence is vetted and plays an important rule on the determination of guilt or innocence. The areas of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security have grown to become integral components of areas such as Cyber Law, Electronic Data Discovery, Electronic Data Destruction, and Compliance. Many laws exist today, requiring both public sector and private sector managers to protect information systems and assets. Appropriately collecting digital evidence when an incident occurs is fundamental to bringing perpetrators of computer related crimes to justice and preventing future occurrences. An understanding of Cyber Forensics will be needed not just by college students entering the various fields within technology, but also by those individuals entering business, criminal justice, law, accounting and homeland security. ** *Suggested topics: *Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to: * The role of Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security in Information Assurance * The role of Information Assurance in Cyber Forensics and Cyber Security * Cyber Forensics and Security and Risk * Cyber Forensics and Compliance * Cyber Forensic Accounting * International Issues in Cyber Forensics * International Issues in Cyber Law * Electronic Data Discovery * Issues in Electronic Data Destruction * Cyber Forensics, Network Forensics, and Homeland Security * Cyber Forensic Curriculum * Governance Issue in Cyber Forensics * Theory Building in Cyber Forensics *Important Dates:* * *January 2, 2012:*Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions * *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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Glenn S.
