An increasing number of organizations implement their business processes and applications via runtime composition of services made available on the Cloud by external suppliers. This scenario is changing the traditional view of security introducing new service security risks and threats, and requires re-thinking of current development, testing, and verification methodologies. IWSSC 2011 aims to address the security issues related to the deployment of services on the Cloud, along with evaluating their impact on traditional security solutions for software and network systems. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security of services implemented on the Cloud, as well as experimental studies in Cloud infrastructures, the implementation of services, and lessons learned. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Security in Cloud services * Software verification in critical services * Static code analysis of software services * Test-based verification of services * Authentication and access control on the Cloud * Challenges in moving critical systems to the Cloud * Cybercrime and cyberterrorism on the Cloud * Communication confidentiality and integrity * Data security and privacy on the Cloud * Formal methods for the Cloud * Homeland security * Information assurance and trust management * Intrusion detection on the Cloud * Model-based validation of services * Orchestration and choreography * RESTful service security * SOAP security * Security certification of services * Security metrics on the Cloud * Security models and architectures * Security patterns for the Cloud * Security protocols on the Cloud IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission due: June 1, 2011 (midnight Samoa time) Notification to authors: July 11, 2011 Camera-ready due: July 21, 2011 SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or conference/workshop with proceedings.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JGIM 19(2) April-June 2011 Date: Sun, 03 Apr 2011 07:46:12 +1200 From: Felix Tan <felix.tan(a)aut.ac.nz> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The contents of the latest issue of: Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 19, Issue 2, April-June 2011 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1062-7375 EISSN: 1533-7995 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/jgim Editor-in-Chief: Felix B. Tan, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand Special Issue: Knowledge Management in a Local-Global Context Guest Editors: Samuel K.W. Chu, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Patrick Y.K. Chau, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong PAPER ONE Contextual Factors, Knowledge Processes and Performance in Global Sourcing of IT Services: An Investigation in China Rong Du, Xidian University, China Shizhong Ai, Xidian University, China Pamela Abbott, Brunel University, UK Yingqin Zheng, De Montfort University, UK In this paper, the authors explore the influences of two major contextual factors—supplier team members’ cultural understanding and trust relationship—on knowledge processes and performance in global sourcing of IT services. The authors discuss a joint investigation conducted by a cross-cultural research team in China. Cultural understanding is measured by individualism with guanxi and mianzi, two Chinese cultural concepts, and trust relationship is measured by adjusting trust, a notion reflecting the uniqueness of the Chinese people. Knowledge processes are characterized by knowledge sharing. Performance is measured by the outcomes of global sourcing, which is represented by product success and personal satisfaction. Data are collected in 13 companies in Xi’an Software Park, with 200 structured questionnaires distributed to knowledge workers. The results of quantitative data analysis indicate that cultural understanding influences trust relationship greatly, as well as knowledge sharing and performance in global sourcing of IT services. Trust relationship significantly impacts knowledge sharing, whereas trust relationship and knowledge sharing have no impact on performance. This study suggests that special aspects of the Chinese context have significant direct impacts on knowledge processes while no direct and immediate impacts on performance in global sourcing of IT services.

The focus is a case study of software offshore outsourcing from Japan to Vietnam. Initial results confirm that willingness to cooperate and good impressions facilitate the knowledge transfer process. In addition, communication barriers, cultural differences, lack of equivalence in individual competence, and lack of common rules slow down the transfer process. The study also identifies the Bridge System Engineer (Bridge SE)-a type of coordinator who mediates and enhances the relationship between Japanese clients and Vietnamese service providers. Employing a Bridge SE is an effective way to fill the communication gap, the cultural gap, and generally improve the business relationship. Bridge SEs use their background of higher education and long-term residence in Japan to give advice to Vietnamese software teams on Japanese cultural characteristics, such as the apology culture and the separation between work and private time. In other situations, Bridge SEs use their IT background and communication skills to verify and adjust communication contents before information is sent from one side to another.

In a case study of five firms, the usage of IT tools is influenced by an array of factors acting as enablers, barriers, and motivators. The findings support extant theories on knowledge management (KM). This research discovers relationships between multiple factors and the usage of IT tools for knowledge sharing at various hierarchical levels. Operational factors like perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, staff capability, and nature of work induce higher usage of IT for knowledge sharing. These findings and related analyses have managerial implications for firms engaging in service business.

K. Chau, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Knowledge management (KM) infrastructure is the foundation for managing and embodying valuable knowledge in firms. Based on the resource-based view (RBV) and process level analysis, this study investigates how KM infrastructure influences market interrelationship performance through innovative business processes. The study collected a sample of 126 hospitals in the Taiwanese healthcare industry. The results suggest that technological capability and cultural capability positively affect market interrelationships via innovative business processes. Cultural capability is associated with market interrelationship performance whereas structural capability is unrelated to innovative business processes. The findings advance understanding of the influence of KM infrastructure on market interrelationship performance as well as provide managerial insights on the influence of innovative business processes on market interrelationships performance.

Submission Categories and Themes: The journal accepts submissions in the following categories: a. Research Article - Contributions to this section are full papers reporting completed research b. Research Note - Research frameworks, exploratory studies and methodological papers c. Research Review - Reviews are carefully crafted articles that conceptualize research areas, synthesize prior research as well as help identify and develop future research directions Authors are encouraged to develop articles that are consistent with the following themes: a. Cross-National Studies. These need not be cross-culture per se.These studies lead to an understanding of IT as it leaves one nation and is built/bought/used in another. b. Cross-Cultural Studies. These need not be cross-nation. Cultures could be across regions that share a similar culture. They can also be within nations(subcultures, ethnicities...etc). c. Single nation studies from under-represented nations. The idea here is to look at existing literature from the better represented nations and compare it to the findings in the under-represented nation. Authors are also encouraged to weave the country context (ie. culture, firm strategies, government policies, laws ...etc) in the development of the research problem and in explaining the results. d. Studies of the development, implementation, management and use of IT in multinational, transnational, inter-national and global organizations.

Much of the radical transformation of the world economy from an industrial to a post-industrial service society comes from the contribution of information technology (IT) to service sectors and from IT as service. This special issue is multidisciplinary in nature as many disciplines play a role in the service economy. We invite scholars from marketing, information systems, operations management, human resources, finance/accounting, economics, and organizational research to submit papers on IT-related service. We are particularly interested in papers that consider the productivity and quality of IT-related service and focus on the relationship with customers (including B2C, B2B and C2C), in contrast to technology-centered approaches to service management and business interaction. Papers that include empirical, analytical, and conceptual approaches that develop or extend theory are welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: §IT’s role in providing cost-effective service §IT mediated or supported self-service §IT-related service productivity, quality, and customer satisfaction §IT servitization §IT-related service innovations and business transformation §IT-related service management and marketing §IT-related service value networks §IT service, customer service, and service satisfaction §IT-related service and consumer behavior §IT-related service and employee attitudes and behavior §IT-related service economics and pricing §IT-related service engineering, systems, and computing We expect this special issue to lead to significant cross-fertilization across fields and, therefore, to particularly high impact for the papers. The issue is sponsored by the National Science Council of Taiwan and the Center for Excellence in Service at the University of Maryland. The best paper will receive a first-place award of $2,000, and up to three additional papers will receive honorable-mention awards of $1,000 each. In addition, each award will include an invitation for the paper to be presented at the Frontiers in Service Conference in 2013 (with complementary registration) that will coincide with the publication of the special issue. Please submit manuscripts to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/journsrand designate “Special Issue on IT-Related Service.” Submission Deadline: February 1, 2012; Expected Publication Date: August 2013 Editor Katherine N. Lemon, Boston College Guest Co-editors Ming-Hui Huang, National Taiwan University Roland T. Rust, University of Maryland
