-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Book Chapters: “Cases on Open-Linked Data and Semantic Web Applications” Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 02:30:46 +0200 From: "PATRICIA ORDOÑEZ DE PABLOS" <patriop(a)uniovi.es> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS* * * *Book Chapter Proposal Submission: April 15, 2011* * * */?Cases on Open-Linked Data and Semantic Web Applications?/**//* A book edited by *Dr. Patricia Ordoñez de Pablos *(University of Oviedo, Spain) *Dr Miltiadis D. Lytras *(American College of Greece, Greece)** *and Dr Jose Emilio Labra Gayo *(University of Oviedo, Spain) To be published by IGI Global: www.igi-global.com */ /* *Introduction* Tim Berners-Lee coined the term ?Linked Data? in his Linked Data Web architecture note. It refers to a way of publishing and interlinking structured data on the Web and in simple words, basically /Linked Data/aims to enable people to share structured data on the Web as easily as they can share documents today. The basic assumption behind this term is that the usefulness and value of data increases the more it is interlinked with other data.According to Tim Berners-Lee (2006), ?like the web of hypertext, the web of data is constructed with documents on the web. However, unlike the web of hypertext, where links are relationships anchors in hypertext documents written in HTML, for data they links between arbitrary things described by RDF?. The proposed book aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research in open linked data and semantic web based personalization as applied to the context of Information Systems. *Objective of the Book* Linked Data literature proposes using the Web to connect related data that was not previously linked, or using the Web to lower the barriers to linking data currently linked using other methods. More specifically, the basic elements of linked data are to: 1) use the RDF data model to publish structured data on the Web; and 2) use RDF links to interlink data from different data sources. The application of both principles leads to the creation of a data commons on the Web which is often called the Web of Data or Semantic Web. The book chapter collection will cover Open Linked Data and Semantic Web approaches to information systems and ontology-based information systems research, as well as the diverse underlying database and knowledge representation aspects that impact personalization and the customization. The chapters will also address challenges for this new field of research. Chapters dealing with aspects of both topics are especially sought The subject area is a combination of /Web Semantic, Open Linked Data, Business, Management, Information Technologies and Information Systems/. * * *Target Audience* §Politicians §Professors in academia §Policy Makers §Government officers §Students §Corporate heads of firms §Senior general managers §Managing directors §Board directors §Academics and researchers in the field both in universities and business schools §Information technology directors and managers §Quality managers and directors §Human resource directors §Libraries and information centres serving the needs of the above *Recommended topics* The proposed books wants to be an international platform to bring together academics, researchers, lecturers, and persons in decision making positions, policy makers and practitioners from different backgrounds to share new theories, research findings and case studies, enhancing understanding and collaboration in open linked data in business and science and the role of information technologies and web semantics and analyse recent developments in theory and practice. *Topics *include, but are not limited to, the following: * Digital Data * FOAF (friend-of-a-friend) and FOAF-a-Matic * Linked data on the web * Web architecture * RDF data model * Vocabularies to represent information * Testing and Debugging Linked Data * Research Objects * Semantic Web Search Engine (SWSE) * Web Semantic * Case Studies * Semantic Web standard / / Submission Procedure Full chapters are expected to be submitted by */April 15, 2011/*.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: IOS 2.0 - New aspects on inter-company integration through Enterprise 2.0 Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2011 09:15:15 +0000 From: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CfP: IOS 2.0 -- New aspects on inter-company integration through Enterprise 2.0* ** *Workshop at the 41st annual-meeting of the "Gesellschaft für Informatik" "INFORMATIK 2011 -- Informatik schafft Communities", October 4^th -7^th 2011, Berlin* Today inter-company integration as a model for the cooperation of organizations is strongly influenced by new communication methods. For example, the electronic communication subject in a natural way the community thought. The use of temporary inter-organizational systems forms temporary and strategic relationships between companies. Inter-organizational systems create a technology base that enables new value added models between the involved companies. The core question is how the new forms of communication and cooperation -- summarized under the term "Enterprise 2.0" -- can support and develop the value added significantly. Inter-company integration is the enabler for inter-company business processes. The use of highly integrated inter-organizational allows the establishment of innovative and comprehensive value-added processes between multiple involved companies, partners and customers. The development of inter-company integration of paper-based methods through EDI-solutions to complex inter-organizational systems now faces the possibilities of Enterprise 2.0. The successful in-house use of technologies such as blogs, wikis, digital social networks and instant messaging has been shown sufficiently. Design principles of Enterprise 2.0, which are applied to any inter-company information systems, provide new challenges for the participants. These are found for example in the adoption of organizational structures and business processes. Against this background the question is how Enterprise 2.0 technologies can affect inter-company value significantly, which recipes for success are available for their use and how this affects the players involved. *Central issues and themes * This workshop is intended for academics and practitioners and will allow a discussion between theory and praxis. Central topics are: ·Application areas and purpose in inter-company use of Enterprise 2.0 technology ·New business models of inter-company integration ·Changes in inter-company integration ·Optimization of strategic and ad-hoc value added networks by Enterprise 2.0 technologies ·Changes of actors and roles in inter-company integration ·Case studies on inter-company integration on the basis of Enterprise 2.0 technologies ·Service orientation and cloud-technology for inter-company integration ·The impact of cloud-computing on inter-company integration ·Enterprise 2.0 as a new inter-organizational paradigm ·Challenges and opportunities for Enterprise 2.0-based inter-organizational systems ·New architectures for inter-organizational aspects (architectural concepts, reference models, architectural artifacts) ·Trends of inter-company integration ·Economic, social, political and legal changes through Enterprise 2.0 technologies in the inter-company integration *Organizing committee:* ·Klaus Turowski, Chair of information systems & systems engineering, University of Augsburg ·Holger Schrödl, Inter-organizational systems research group, University of Augsburg ·Stefan Wind, Fujitsu Technology Solutions *Program committee:* ·Martin Gaedke, TU Chemnitz ·Ulrich Frank, University of Duisburg-Essen ·Viktoria Kapitany, BMW Group ·Ralf Knackstedt, ERCIS Münster ·Michael Koch, Universität der Bundeswehr Munich ·Heinz Korbelius, Fujitsu Technology Solutions ·Jörg Larsson, Software AG ·Peter Loos, Saarland University ·Wolfgang Niemeyer, Siemens IT Solutions and Services Management GmbH ·Alexander Richter, Universität der Bundeswehr Munich ·Susanne Robra-Bissantz, TU Braunschweig ·Roland Röder, Software AG ·Armin Weh, Fujitsu Technology Solutions *Dates and submission* The assessment of submissions is made double-blind by the program committee.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for paper..HICSS-45 ...Emerging Issues in Distributed Group Decision-Making: Opportunities and Challenges ..minitrack Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:01:05 -0400 From: Anil Aggarwal <aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues: After having successful minitracks at HICSS -43 and HICSS-44, we are continuing our track on */Emerging Issues in Distributed Group Decision-Making: Opportunities and Challenge, /*which is part of Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the HICSS -45 conference.. More information is available at: http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/hicss_45.htm We would like to invite you to submit your paper to the Emerging Issues in distributed group support system mini track which is part of Collaboration and Technology track. Best regards, Anil Aggarwal Doug Vogel Sree Nilakanta *HICSS45*** ** *CALL FOR PAPERS FOR the Mini-track* */Emerging Issues (e.g. Collaboration Support in Cloud) in Distributed Group Decision-Making: Opportunities and Challenges/* (Part of the *Collaboration Systems and Technology* Track ) *for the Forty- Fifth Annual **HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES **(HICSS-45)* *January 4-7, 2012* *at * *The Grand Wailea <http://www.grandwailea.com/>* *on the beautiful Island of Maui* ** Given the current turbulent state of world economy, outsourcing is coming under tremendous pressure. Companies are no longer providing long-term contracts but are renewing them based on deliverables from outsourced companies. This is putting tremendous pressure on teams to deliver quality product on time. Team adaptability and team configuration are becoming crucial to meet deadlines. Teams must be able to adapt quickly to the changing environment. Agile teams adapt and deliver quickly and provide maximum customer satisfaction. By definition, however, agile teams must be co-located. Can distributed teams be agile and adaptable? This requires careful team configuration. This mini-track examines the emerging issues related to team configuration and performance in distributed environment. Some research related to outsourcing of structured tasks has been done, but research related to emerging issues like diversity, cohesiveness, agility and adaptability related to group collaboration across semi or unstructured tasks is still emerging. In addition, the "e (Internet)" to "m (mobile)" transformation is creating exciting opportunities for groups to make real time decisions in a mobile environment. Distributed teams, however, face many challenges of time, location, infrastructure, language, customs, socialization and politics. This is further compounded in globally distributed teams by diversity, nationality and cultural issues. As old issue are resolved, new challenges emerge that require knowledge from multiple disciplines such as information systems, social sciences, international management, leadership and political science. It is almost impossible for one individual to have expertise in so many domains, which makes this a very challenging but ultimately rewarding collaborative area of research. Given the richness and research potential of this area, it is essential to brainstorm and bring diverse points of view to develop underlying theory and frameworks. The mini track will attempt to accomplish these objectives. The mini track will address emerging issue such as diversity, culture, adaptability and agility related to teams in distributed group decision making, as well as the underlying theories of group dynamics, coordination, communications and decision-making in distributed environments, in creation of competitive advantage. Examples of topics in the discussion of globally distributed decision making mini-track will include the following (but are not limited to): ·Framework for distributed decision making in the cloud. ·Economics of distributed decision making in the clouds ·Trust and distrust as motivator in distributed decision making ·Can agile teams be globally distributed? ·Agile/Adaptable team configuration in globally distributed teams ·The "e (internet)" to "m (mobile)" transformation of globally distributed teams ·Communication and coordination in globally distributed teams ·Diversity issues in globally distributed teams ·Customer satisfaction, performance and "trust" building in globally distributed teams ·Synchronous and asynchronous decision making in globally distributed teams ·Comparison of issues across internal, inter-, intra and offshore distributed teams ·Turbulent economy and its impact on outsourcing ·Models of globally distributed agile/adaptable teams ·Knowledge creation, transfer and integration across globally distributed teams ·Leadership/cohesiveness issues in globally distributed teams ·Issues related to functional and dysfunctional globally distributed teams ·Security, privacy and risk associated with globally distributed teams ·Case Studies (success/failures) related to decision making by globally distributed teams Contact Information for Mini-Track Chair: *Important Deadlines:* * *Abstracts*-Authors may contact Mini-track Chairs for guidance and indication of appropriate content at anytime. * *June 15 *Submit full manuscripts for review as instructed.
