Workshop "Wirtschaftlichkeit und Wertbeitrag von Informationssystemen" http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/WWI2011 im Rahmen der Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V., INFORMATIK 2011, 4.10. bis 7.10.2011, TU Berlin. Die Entwicklung, Einführung, Nutzung und Wartung betrieblicher Informationssysteme zielt auf eine möglichst wirtschaftliche Unterstützung betrieblicher Entscheidungen, Handlungen und Abläufe. Der Einsatz betrieblicher Informationssysteme soll die Wirtschaftlichkeit des Handelns in Unternehmen verbessern und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen befördern. Die Auffassung betrieblicher Informationssysteme als Mensch-Aufgabe-Technik-Systeme legt eine methodische Unterstützung nahe, die den Spezifika betrieblicher Informationssysteme in Bezug auf ihre Wirtschaftlichkeit und ihren Wertbeitrag Rechnung trägt. Dazu zählt u.a. die Analyse des umgebenden organisatorischen Handlungssystems, in dem menschliche und maschinelle Aufgabenträger einen Wirkungsverbund bilden. Das Programmkomitee lädt Beiträge ein, die sich mit der Entwicklung und dem Einsatz von Verfahren, Methoden und allgemein Konzeptionen auseinandersetzen, die darauf gerichtet sind, die Wirtschaftlichkeit von Informationssystemen und ihren Beitrag zur Zielerreichung etwa zur Verbesserung der Service-Qualität von Unternehmen zu erheben und/oder zu befördern. Der Workshop richtet sich an Wissenschaftler und an akademisch interessierte Praktiker, die an den Themen IV-Controlling, IT/Business Value, IT/Business Alignment, Performanzmessung und wertorientierte Software-Entwicklung interessiert sind. Er wird von der Fachgruppe IT-Controlling im Fachbereich Wirtschaftsinformatik der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. unterstützt.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] IRI'11 CFP: IEEE Intl. Conf. on Information Reuse and Integration Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 16:18:24 -0600 (CST) From: Chengcui Zhang <zhang(a)cis.uab.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org --- Apologies for cross-posting --- The 12th IEEE International Conference on Information Reuse and Integration (IEEE IRI-2011) Tuscany Suites& Casino, Las Vegas, USA August 3-5, 2011 http://www.sis.pitt.edu/~iri2011/ Given the emerging global Information-centric IT landscape that has tremendous social and economic implications, effectively processing and integrating humongous volumes of information from diverse sources to enable effective decision making and knowledge generation have become one of the most significant challenges of current times. Information Reuse and Integration (IRI) seeks to maximize the reuse of information by creating simple, rich, and reusable knowledge representations and consequently explores strategies for integrating this knowledge into systems and applications. IRI plays a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance, integration, validation, and extrapolation of information; and applies both information and knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various application domains. This conference explores three major tracks: information reuse, information integration, and reusable systems. Information explores theory and practice of optimizing representation; information integration focuses on innovative strategies and algorithms for applying integration approaches in novel domains; and reusable systems focus on developing and deploying models and corresponding processes that enable Information Reuse and Integration to play a pivotal role in enhancing decision-making processes in various application domains. The IEEE IRI conference serves as a forum for researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to present, discuss, and exchange ideas that address real-world problems with real-world solutions. Theoretical and applied papers are both included. The conference program will include special sessions, open forum workshops, panels and keynote speeches.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP of Social Networking and Communities minitrack at HICSS-45 Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2011 00:14:29 +0000 From: Karine Nahon <karineb(a)uw.edu> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Hello everyone, The Social Networking and Communities minitrack at HICSS has been part of HICSS since 2003, and over the years has gained a lot of visibility and esteem from the academic and professional community. At HICSS 45 in January 2011, this minitrack was the biggest one of the conference, spanning a day and a half (6 total sessions), with a full audience throughout. We hope to maintain that momentum and make this another great year! Please consider submitting a paper to the minitrack. More Information and papers presented in previous years may be found at: http://ekarine.org/news/hicsscommunities/ Due date is June 15, 2011 (please note, this is a hard deadline set by HICSS, not the minitrack organizers). Karine Nahon and Caroline Haythorntwaite ----------- Call For Papers: Social Networking and Communities, HICSS 44 HAWAII INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES, http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/, January 4-7, 2011 Track: Internet and Digital Economy Minitrack: Social Networking and Community Papers due JUNE 15, 2010. Minitrack Organizers: ·_Karine Nahon_, University of Washington *[Primary Contact], *karineb(a)uw.edu <mailto:karineb@uw.edu> ** ·Caroline Haythornthwaite <http://haythorn.wordpress.com/>, University of British Columbia Additional information about the minitrack and papers presented in previous years may be found at the website of the social networking and communities minitrack <http://ekarine.org/news/hicsscommunities/>. General information about the conference may be found at the HICSS primary website <http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/>. This minitrack focuses on social networks and their interrelations with communities in the context work, learning, social and/or personal life. At present, there is tremendous research interest in these topics, driven by the fact that these sociological phenomena are changing the way people work, play and socialize, and how they spend their time and money. Accordingly, billions of dollars are being spent by businesses and consumers on these technologies, and the rate of adoption has been phenomenal, while empirical and theoretical work on social and technical design, and economic and social outcomes lag behind. We would like to attract papers that address issues of online communities of practice, inquiry and interest created in the interest of political, educational, business, social and/or gaming pursuits, and with attention to how online community building and management contribute to success in the digital economy and society. While the focus is primarily online communities, papers are also welcomed that address the interplay between online and offline means of interaction. We call for empirical and theoretical papers that add to our understanding of the social, political, and economic landscape of communities and social networks at work, school, home, and play. Examples of the possible interdisciplinary topics of interest in these contexts include, but are not limited to the following: ·Social, political and/or economic impact of social media ·Communities as sociological phenomenon in the digital economy ·Community development and community informatics ·Design, development, and user studies of social media ·Online communities of practice, inquiry or interest ·Business models of Second Life ·E-learning: structures, implementations, and practices ·Serious leisure communities online ·Organizational behavior of communities ·Social network studies and analyses of online communities ·Mobile applications, services and use for and by online communities ·Case studies and topologies of online communities ·Case studies and analyses of the rise and fall of social network sites and online communities ·Theoretical models of virtual worlds ·Advertising in online communities and social networks ·Models for managing behavior in online communities ·Behavior in online gaming communities ·Models and cases of synergies and/or conflicts between real and virtual worlds ·Diffusion and adoption of social networking applications and practices ·Development of social networking applications and practices ·Critical perspectives on social media and local and/or virtual community ·Disruptive strategies of virtual worlds ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Karine Nahon - http://eKarine.org Associate Professor The Information School, The retroV (Virality of Information) Group - http://retroV.org University of Washington Twitter - http://twitter.com/karineb Office tel. - (206) 685-6668

Fwd: [AISWorld] FW: [Air-L] CfP: Journal of Community Informatics - Special Issue on Open Data / Open Government Data
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] FW: [Air-L] CfP: Journal of Community Informatics - Special Issue on Open Data / Open Government Data Datum: Sat, 5 Mar 2011 09:30:49 -0300 Von: Michael Gurstein <gurstein(a)gmail.com> An: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces(a)listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Tim Davies Sent: Friday, March 04, 2011 3:45 PM To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] CfP: Journal of Community Informatics - Special Issue on Open Data / Open Government Data ==Journal of Community Informatics: Call for Papers for Special issue on Open Data== **Call for Proposals** The Journal of Community Informatics (http://ci-journal.net) is a focal point for the communication of research that is of interest to a global network of academics, Community Informatics practitioners and national and multi-lateral policy makers. We invite submission of original, unpublished articles for a forthcoming special edition of the Journal that will focus on Open Data. We welcome research articles, case studies and notes from the field. All research articles will be double blind peer-reviewed. Insights and analytical perspectives from practitioners and policy makers in the form of notes from the field or case studies are also encouraged. These will not be peer-reviewed. **Why a special issue on Open Data** In many countries across the world, discussions, policies and developments are actively emerging around open access to government data. It is believed that opening up government data to citizens is critical for enforcing transparency and accountability within the government. Open data is also seen as holding the potential to bring about greater citizens' participation, empowering citizens to ask questions of their governments via not only the data that is made openly available but also through the interpretations that different stakeholders make of the open data. Besides advocacy for open data on grounds of democracy, it is also argued that opening government data can have significant economic potential, generating new industries and innovations. Whilst some open government data initiatives are being led by governments, other open data projects are taking a grassroots approach, collecting and curating government data in reusable digital formats which can be used by specific communities at the grassroots and/or macro datasets that can be used/received/applied in different ways in different local/grassroots contexts. INGOs, NGOs and various civil society and community based organizations are also getting involved with open data activities, from sharing data they hold regarding aid flows, health, education, crime, land records, demographics, etc, to actively sourcing public data through freedom of information and right to information acts. The publishing of open data on the Internet can make it part of a global eco-system of data, and efforts are underway in technology, advocacy and policy-making communities to develop standards, approaches and tools for linking and analysing these new open data resources. At the same time, there are questions surrounding the very notion of 'openness', primarily whether openness and open data have negative repercussions for particular groups of citizens in certain social, geographic, political, demographic, cultural and other grassroots contexts. In sum then, what we find in society today is not only various practices relating to open data, but also an active shift in paradigms about access and use of information and data, and notions of "openness" and "information/data". These emerging/renewed paradigms are also configuring/reconfiguring understandings and practices of "community" and "citizenship". We therefore find it imperative to engage with crucial questions that are emerging from these paradigm shifts as well as the related policy initiatives, programmatic action and field experiences. **Some of the questions that we hope this special issue will explore are:** 1) How are citizens' groups, grassroots organizations, NGOs, diverse civil society associations and other public and private entities negotiating with different arms of the state to provide access to government data both in the presence and absence of official open data policies, freedom/right of information legislations and similar commitments on the part of governments? 2) What are the various models of open data that are operational in practice in different parts of the world? What are the different ways in which open data are being used by and for the grassroots and what are the impacts (positive, negative, paradoxical) of such open data for communities and groups at the grassroots? 3) Who/which actors are involved in opening up what kinds of data? What are their stakes in opening up such data and making it available for the public? 4) What are the different technologies that are being used for publishing, storing and archiving open data? What are the challenges/issues that various grassroots users and the stakeholders, experience with respect to these technologies i.e., design, scale, costs, dissemination of the open data to different publics and realizing the potential of open data? 5) What notions of openness and publicness are at work in both policies as well as initiatives concerning open data and what impacts do these notions have on grassroots' practitioners and users? 6) Following from the above, what are the implications of opening up different kinds of data for privacy, security and local level practices and information systems? **Thematic focus** The following suggested areas of thematic focus (policy, technology, uses, impacts) give a non-exhaustive list of potential topic areas for articles or case studies. The core interest of the special issue is addressing each of these themes from, or taking into account, grassroots, local citizen and community perspectives. A) Different policy and practice approaches to open data and open government data B) Diverse uses of open data and their impacts C) Technologies that are deployed for implementing open data and their implications D) Critical assessments of stakeholders and stakes in opening up different kinds of data. **Submission** Abstracts are invited in the first instance, to be submitted by e-mail to jociopendata(a)gmail.com. - Deadline for abstracts: 31st March 2011 - Deadline for complete paper submissions: 15th September 2011 - Publication date is forthcoming Please send abstracts, in the first instance, of up to 300 words to jociopendata(a)gmail.com.
