A scheme that is now being popularized and put forward by technology providers is that of ?cloud? computing, which could help organizations reduce their operation and capital expenses whilst giving flexibility to consumers and end users. The benefits of this and other schemes are yet to be realized in particular regarding their environmental impacts within and beyond data processing facilities. Concerns about availability of energy to fuel computing platforms, mobile devices, offices or households still remain. Technology providers are competing to provide sophisticated devices and services whilst trying to balance their production and recycling processes with their carbon footprints. There are opportunities and challenges lying ahead for technology designers, managers and users in taking environmental and green concerns forward. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Objective of the Special Issue This special issue aims to facilitate debate and contributions on how the systems approach in its various forms and applications can help addressing issues of design, service use and implementation of computing infrastructures and facilities that emerge when environmental requirements are to be met. We intend to gather theoretical and practical contributions from academics practitioners, policy makers or planners who can provide systemic accounts of how technology can better conceived of or positioned in the wider societal and environmental spheres. Recommended Topics Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ?Cloud computing, private or public clouds, mobile clouds ?Conceptualisations of relationships between regulation, production and reuse of information technologies ?Design of ?green? devices, computing platforms or computing infrastructures ?Evaluation of environmental impacts of information systems ?Green IT curriculum ?Green IT frameworks and metrics ?Green IT strategies (virtualization, consolidation, cloud computing, responsible disposal, 3Rs, among others) ?Green supply chains supported by information technologies ?Information technology recycling ?Systemic methodology to plan and implement green IT policies or regulations ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue ?IT goes Green: Systemic Approaches to IT Policy Making, Design, Evaluation and Management? on or before September 15, 2011.

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: UMUAI Special Issue on Context-Adaptive Collaboration Support for Knowledge-intense Work
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: UMUAI Special Issue on Context-Adaptive Collaboration Support for Knowledge-intense Work Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 10:30:24 +0000 From: Stephan Lukosch - TBM <S.G.Lukosch(a)tudelft.nl> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Newman <mwnewman(a)umich.edu>, Jürgen Ziegler <juergen.ziegler(a)uni-due.de>, Mark(a)mx1.wu-wien.ac.at ================================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue on Context-Adaptive Collaboration Support for Knowledge-intense Work User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction: The Journal of Personalization Research (An international journal published by Springer Verlag) Web site: http://www.umuai.org/ ================================================================= Knowledge work in modern organizations is to a large extent collaborative. Free riding, dominance, group think, hidden agendas, and especially ill-structured tasks that emerge in the course of the collaborative process are but a few phenomena in group work that make it a non straight-forward effort. Users participating in a collaborative project may find themselves in different physical environments or settings and may use a variety of different devices. Also, users are often involved in more than one project at a time, raising the need for frequent task or tool switches and for rapid cognitive adjustments to the subject at hand. For a successful collaboration, these challenges need to be addressed. A promising approach to solving these challenges are collaboration support systems that can flexibly adapt themselves to the context of knowledge workers. Context can here be understood in the widest sense: it comprises external factors such as location, device used or time, but also factors derived from the user¹s interaction behavior such as interest profiles or tasks the user is engaged in. Considering both external (exogenous) and interaction-based (endogenous) factors creates an interesting intersection between conventional, sensor-based context-adaption and adaptation based on user models. The proposed special issue aims at attracting use-oriented contributions that discuss models, methods, techniques and empirical studies related to collaborative context in this wide sense as well as to adaptation techniques for collaboration environments. Furthermore, we aim to discuss resulting implications regarding the technical design of interfaces as well as soft- and hardware architectures. Special attention is given to context modeling and implementation of the various application scenarios as well as to the issues related to manual (adaptability) or automatic (adaptivity) in-use-adjustment. We would like to invite in particular researchers and practitioners to contributions dealing with the following questions: - What practical experiences - positive as well as negative - have been made with regard to the usage of context-adaptive computing and collaboration in real organizational settings? What experiences have been made with adaptation mechanisms (automatic as well as interactive) of such systems in these settings? - What are different forms of adaptations for groups? How can this design space be structured? - How can relations between context descriptions/models, context sensors and context-based services be described in a way that they can be understood and used by end users? What framing conditions apply for interfaces that aim to achieve this? - What are suitable models for context management? How can context concepts be represented and retrieved? How can privacy issues be dealt with? - How can individual contexts dynamically aggregated into group context? - How can context architectures be effectively designed for sustainable usages (context evolution, context adaptation, traceability for end-users)? - What are appropriate architectures for context-adaptive collaboration support systems? How can such architectures be designed to support context evolution, context adaptation, and traceability for end-users? HOW TO SUBMIT Submissions to the special issue should follow the UMUAI formatting guidelines and submission instructions available at: http://www.umuai.org/paper_submission.html Each submission should note that it is intended for the Special Issue on Context-Adaptive Collaboration Support for Knowledge-intense Work. Potential authors are asked to submit a tentative title and short abstract (which can be altered for the actual submission) to assist in the formation of a panel of appropriate reviewers. UMUAI is an archival journal that publishes mature and substantiated research results on the (dynamic) adaptation of computer systems to their human users, and the role that a model of the system about the user plays in this context. Many articles in UMUAI are quite comprehensive and describe the results of several years of work. Consequently, UMUAI gives "unlimited" space to authors (so long as what they write is important). Authors whose paper exceeds 40 pages in journal format (including illustrations and references) are however requested to supply a short justification upon submission that explains why a briefer discussion of their research results would not be advisable. IMPORTANT DATES Notification of tentative intent to submit: as soon as possible Title and abstract submission deadline: February 28, 2011 Paper submission deadline: March 31, 2011 REVIEW PROCESS Submissions will undergo the normal review process, and will be reviewed by three established researchers selected from a panel of reviewers formed for the special issue. Barring unforeseen problems, authors can expect to be notified regarding the review results within three months of submission.

Fwd: [AISWorld] cfp: Human-Technology Interaction in Civil Aviation
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] cfp: Human-Technology Interaction in Civil Aviation Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 10:17:10 +0000 From: Elayne Coakes <coakese(a)westminster.ac.uk> To: AISWORLD Information Systems World Network <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> International Journal of Sociotechnology and Knowledge Development (IJSKD) CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue SUBMISSION DUE DATE: March 1, 2011 SPECIAL ISSUE ON: Human-Technology Interaction in Civil Aviation Guest Editors: Paola Amaldi, Middlesex University, UK José Abdelnour Nocera, Thames Valley University, UK Simone Rozzi, Middlesex University, UK INTRODUCTION: The impact of the Information Technology (IT) innovation process on human performance in Civil Aviation has attracted over the years an amazing wealth of research addressing issues relevant to several areas of research like Human Factors, Cognitive engineering, Cognitive ergonomics, Computer Supported Cooperative Work. This wealth of research has addressed not only issues of "cognition in the wild" but also issues of interaction design and human-system interaction, strengthening, for example the view that "users" must be in the design loop since its early phases. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: This call intends to be an opportunity to explore not only the role of "front end users" in shaping the design and ultimately the interaction with technology but also the role of those who are not immediately involved in the "human computer interaction" loop. Technological upgrade in Civil Aviation does not coincide with the design process only but it is rather shaped, for example, by values and priorities embedded in plans and decisions at various Institutional and Societal layers (like Air Traffic Control Centers, National Civil Aviation, Safety Agencies). How are these higher order elements shaping the artifact-design cycle and ultimately human technology interaction? Further Civil Aviation is not only a complex and highly distributed work system but also managed by different sorts of organizations, from private local companies to international organizations. In this context, human-technology interaction is never a concern of a few individuals, but it has far reaching consequences through organizational layers. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: We invite submission of papers that while taking into account human-technology interactions in the domain of Civil Aviation, seek to link them to higher order organizational/societal conditions and/or relate them to inter-communities interactions. By "human technology interactions" we include broad areas like but not limited to the following: Adaptive use of the technology reflecting institutional decision making and biases Decision making heuristics and biases in human-technology interaction Impact of newly introduced IT on the work system including collaborative and coordinative requirements Making explicit views and (conflicting) expectations by different communities about use of the technology Organisational pressure hampering the design cycle of interactive systems Typical forms of "human error" in relation to human IT interaction SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Human Technology Interaction in Civil Aviation on or before February 1, 2011. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNAL'S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at _http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf <https://webmail.wmin.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.igi-global.…>_ .

Fwd: [WI] CFP IBIS Journal Special Issue: Interoperability for the Energy Sector
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP IBIS Journal Special Issue: Interoperability for the Energy Sector Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2011 08:25:27 +0100 From: Axel Hahn <hahn(a)offis.de> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Dear Colleagues, please consider the latest call for the IBIS International Journal of Interoperability in Business Information Systems for publication. Further Information can be found http://www.ibis-journal.net kindly Axel Hahn Special Issue on Interoperability for the Energy Sector Guest Editor: Sebastian Lehnhoff From a technical point of view, the increasing amount of renewables and distributed generation is imposing novel problems on the existing energy distribution grid and its communication infrastructure. The paradigm of power generation following the demand that has been well established over the last century has to change. With unpredictable generation and subsequent fluctuating power feed-in to the grid by solar and wind power plants, it becomes necessary for the demand side to adjust itself to the overall energy generation in order to ensure a stable and reliable power supply under increasingly stochastic demand and supply situations. New technologies like smart meters, home automation and demand side management through web 2.0 technologies are expected to be the major cornerstones for addressing issues like controlling electric vehicles or micro-CHPs which in general are more predictable than stochastic generation. Charging and de-charging of EVs may become of interest to provide significant distributed storage capacities. Yet, this may only be achieved through integrating even more ICT technology into the grid to make it smarter and to increase the overall level of automation. One of the key issues identified by smart grid roadmaps all around the world are standards and interoperability issues connected with this development. This issue of the IBIS magazine aims at outlining important solutions and applications of improving the integration of ICT between different systems of the grid. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Coordination mechanisms for automated ICT-systems * Integration of electric vehicles * Demand side management processes and their integration into energy management systems * Coordination of distributed generation through means of interoperable systems * Real-time process communication in smart grids * Communication and Data requirements for safety critical real-time communication in future smart grids * Standardization issues Deadline Please submit your papers until 25.03.2011. Please see the author guidelines for details on the submission. -- ____________________________/)_______________ Prof. Dr.-Ing.

The objective of the workshop Web Semantics (WebS) is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss research issues and experience in developing and deploying Semantic Web concepts, applications, and solutions being an international forum for the presentation of both theoretical and applicative results. Papers describing Semantic Web application experiences are particularly encouraged. The special topic "Reliability of ontologies" aims on detecting reusable ontologies and measuring the reliability of possible reusable ontology candidates. How can we measure the reliability and the usability of ontologies? Which adaptations of state-of-the-art ontology engineering methodologies are necessary to support modeling reusable ontologies? What measurements for defining and comparing ontologies can be used and how could ontology repositories use them? These are some of the open research questions to be addressed by papers dedicated to this year's special topic. TOPICS: ======= The relevant topics include the following (but are not limited to): * Knowledge management and sharing * Interoperability and data integration through semantic technology * Ontology modeling, reuse, extraction, and evolution * Ontology mapping, merging, and alignment * Ontology learning and metadata generation * Ontology evaluation (guidelines) * Document analysis and semantic extraction * Semantic Web content creation, annotation, and extraction * Modeling of Semantic Web * Search, integration, and analysis on the Semantic Web * Semantic and context awareness * Semantic Web supporting business processes * Semantic Web for e-sciences * Semantic Web for e-business * Semantic Web mining * Semantic Web data querying and reasoning * Semantic Web inference schemes * Semantic Web applications - Database technologies for the Semantic Web - Intelligent user interfaces - Dynamic ontology generation and adaptation - Languages, tools and methodologies for semantic annotations of web data - Applications on mobile devices - Enhanced accessibility and multimodal interfaces - Reasoning * Special Topic: Reliability of ontologies - Ontology evaluation and reliability measurement - Ontological metrics - Ontology comparison - Ontology reuse methods and methodologies (metrics for reusability) PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: ========================= Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research and application papers that are not being considered in another forum.

Fwd: [WI] 2. CFP: Special Issue on Service Management & Engineering, Journal of Strategic Information Systems
by Gustaf Neumann 01 Feb '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] 2. CFP: Special Issue on Service Management & Engineering, Journal of Strategic Information Systems Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2011 05:47:34 +0000 From: Axel Korthaus <Axel.Korthaus(a)vu.edu.au> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> *CFP: Special Issue on Service Management & Engineering: Aligning Business & IT Services* *The Journal of Strategic Information Systems* http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jsis IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: /1^st of March 2011/ Target publication date of special issue: /3^rd quarter of 2011/ MOTIVATION AND SUGGESTED TOPICS An increasing number of activities of public and private organizations are engineered and managed as services, often creating a new potential for economic growth and welfare through innovation and productivity gains. In addition to the increasing importance of the service perspective in the business domain, the service concept has also become very prominent in the IT domain. This is evident in developments like IT Service Management, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA), Service Computing, and various “XYZ-as-a-Service” concepts. While this increasingly blurs the line between a business view and an IT view of services, these concepts generally have different meanings and refer to different domains. Thus, there is a need for understanding how these two service worlds meet and how they change the alignment of business needs and IT capabilities. This special issue seeks contributions that demonstrate how the IS discipline and related management disciplines can make an impact to improve the way organizations face the challenges of the progressing service-oriented economy that increasingly merges business- and IT-related service concepts. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following: Service Management from an IS Perspective: ·Service management ·Service strategy management ·Service value management ·Service quality management ·Service innovation management ·Service governance ·Service portfolio management ·Service capability management ·Service performance management ·Service compliance and risk management ·Service supplier & customer management ·Services supply chain management ·Services sourcing Service Engineering from an IS Perspective: ·Service lifecycle ·New service development ·Service analysis ·Service design ·Service bundling ·Service standards ·Service descriptions ·Service modeling Special topics on Information Systems and Services: ·The position of IS in Service Science, Management and Engineering ·IS contributions to Service Science ·New business models for IS services, e.g. for service aggregation and brokerage ·IS/IT services from a service(-dominant) logic ·The role of IT services in IT-enabled value co-creation ·Implications of value co-creation for IT-based services ·Service business alignment / Aligning Business and IT Service Management ·Business impact of IT service management ·Management of IT-enabled service ecosystems ·Servitization of IT and other industries ·Embedding of IT services in business products and services ·Design and Implementation and effects of automation and self-service technologies for IT services ·Services E-commerce (i.e. electronic offering, trading, and purchasing of services) MORE INFORMATION The extended CFP is available at the at the journal’s website, http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jsis‐choosing "Special Issue: Service Management & Engineering GUEST EDITORS Erwin Fielt, Queensland University of Technology, e.fielt(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:e.fielt@qut.edu.au> Axel Korthaus, Queensland University of Technology, axel.korthaus(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:axel.korthaus@qut.edu.au> Tilo Böhmann, International Business School of Service Management, boehmann(a)iss-hamburg.de <mailto:boehmann@iss-hamburg.de> Guy Gable, Queensland University of Technology, g.gable(a)qut.edu.au <mailto:g.gable@qut.edu.au> Sue Conger, University of Dallas, sconger(a)gsm.udallas.edu <mailto:sconger@gsm.udallas.edu> *Dr Axel Korthaus* *Senior Lecturer* School of Management and Information Systems (Incorporating The Victoria Graduate School of Business) Faculty of Business and Law Victoria University G429, Footscray Park Campus PO Box 14428 Melbourne Vic 8001, Australia Phone 61 3 9919 5313 Fax 61 3 9919 4272 Email axel.korthaus(a)vu.edu.au <mailto:axel.korthaus@vu.edu.au> Web www.vu.edu.au/buslaw <http://www.vu.edu.au/buslaw>** This email, including any attachment, is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient.
