Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/cgc2011/ Key dates: Submission Deadline: July 15, 2011 Submission site: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgc2011 Workshop Proposal: Ongoing as received (to workshop chairs listed on the website) Publication: Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press (pending). Distinguised papers will be selected for special issues in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience; Computing (Springer); or Journal of Computer and System Sciences. =========== Introduction Cloud computing is positioning itself as a new emerging platform for delivering information infrastructures and resources as IT services. Customers (enterprises or individuals) can then provision and deploy these services in a pay-as-you-go fashion and in a convenient way while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructures. It has evoked a high degree of interest internationally with many challenges such as security and privacy remaining open. Green computing, in general, aims to enable computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. With dramatically increasing demand on computing and storage systems, IT infrastructures have been scaled tremendously which results in huge amount of energy consumption, heat dissemination, greenhouse emission and even part of climate change. As such, green computing has come to the picture seeking solutions for computing and IT infrastructures to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. While customers can enjoy green atmosphere as well as cost saving and convenience because cloud computing accommodates their IT infrastructures in the cloud, how to green the cloud becomes increasingly challenging and extremely important in terms of global energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. CGC (Cloud and Green Computing) is created to provide a prime international forum for both researchers, industry practitioners and environment experts to exchange the latest fundamental advances in the state of the art and practice of Cloud computing and Green computing as well as joint-venture and synergic research and development across both areas.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] EJIS CFP - Special Issue on Mobile IS and Mobility Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 22:17:32 -0400 From: Catherine Middleton <lists(a)CATHERINEMIDDLETON.CA> Reply-To: Catherine Middleton <catherine.middleton(a)ryerson.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers: European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS) http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ejis/index.html PDF version of this CFP: http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ejis/EJIS_CFP_MISM.pdf Special Issue on Mobile Information Systems and Mobility In 2006, an EJIS special issue on mobile user behaviour published seven papers that explored the ways in which “increased mobility of the users violates some of the assumptions traditionally associated with the use of IS” (van der Heijden& Junglas, 2006, p. 249). In the five years since that special issue was published, mobile devices have become much more powerful, and users have become more demanding of mobile access to information systems. Many individuals now carry powerful computing devices with them at all times, blurring the boundaries between personal and organizational systems and uses. Individuals are becoming “experiential” computing users, with personal computing devices embedded in their everyday activities. The increased power and prevalence of mobile devices presents an opportunity, if not an obligation, for information systems researchers to revisit fundamental assumptions embedded in our theories. What changes when we assume that mobile access is a key component of information systems and that mobility is a key expectation of users? Should IS theories that were developed to investigate the deployment of fixed systems in bounded environments controlled by organizations be revisited in the context of mobility? We invite theoretical and empirical papers that explore the meanings and implications of mobility for information systems research and researchers. We encourage broad definitions of mobility and information systems, in recognition that mobility can dissolve organizational boundaries, reshape information systems, and change the nature of use and users. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: • Design of mobile information systems environments • Management challenges in a mobile information systems environment • Mobile content and services development, the rise of the mobile ‘app’ and cloud computing • Perspectives on the “always on, always connected” mobile society, the mobile device as instrument of societal change • Understanding the mobile content consumer, opportunities and threats for content providers • Theorising the mobile ICT artefact • New affordances of mobility • Understanding the materiality of mobility, exploring the mobile artifact • New actors in a mobile information systems environment, including machine to machine interaction • Mobility in the workforce, including overlapping contexts of mobile technology use (work, leisure, social), the business value of mobility, and mobility considerations in ICT strategy • The role of digital infrastructures in enabling mobility Guest Editors for the Special Issue Catherine Middleton, Ryerson University (catherine.middleton(a)ryerson.ca) Rens Scheepers, Deakin University (rens.scheepers(a)deakin.edu.au) Virpi Kristiina Tuunainen, Aalto University (virpi.tuunainen(a)aalto.fi) Submission Guidelines and Important Dates Papers may be submitted to the special issue any time before December 31, 2011.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] International Journal of E-Business Research: TOC 7(2) and CFP Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 21:51:52 -0500 (CDT) From: In Lee <I-Lee(a)wiu.edu> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org The contents of the latest issue of: International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 7, Issue 2, April-June 2011 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1548-1131 EISSN: 1548-114X Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/ijebr Editor-in-Chief: In Lee, Western Illinois University, USA Special Issue: World Wide Adoption of XBRL for Financial Reporting and Beyond GUEST EDITORIAL PREFACE Saeed Roohani, Bryant University, USA To read the preface, click on the link below, and then click "Preface." http://www.igi-global.com/bookstore/titledetails.aspx?titleid=47833 PAPER ONE Greater Accountability, Less Red Tape: The Australian Standard Business Reporting Experience Paul Madden, Department of the Treasury, Australia Australian governments are early adopters of many electronic record-keeping and reporting systems, and the Australian Standard Business Reporting (SBR) Program evolves this further. This paper examines the evolution from government-centric technologies and standards to collaborative, open, and community standards-based systems. It describes the SBR Program as a case study in the development of seamless business-to-government reporting, which delivers significant reductions in reporting costs for business. The flexibility and universality of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is an important element in the SBR approach. The benefits to business and government reveal immediate and practical benefits that expand with the growing number of users of these standards and technologies. The open, collaborative processes that have been driven by the SBR Program are consistent with the current directions of e-government in various countries. Technology in government is interactive and viewed in terms of a complex adaptive system, which needs to grow, respond, and interact with systems used by businesses in the Australian and international communities. The use of XBRL in the SBR Program increases the integrity of data that is provided to multiple parties, eliminating the need to transform financial data in a business’s system to the various semantic differences currently imposed.

XBRL is an eXtensible Markup Language (XML)-based language, developed specifically for financial reporting. XBRL, as a search-facilitating technology, contributes to direct searches and simultaneous presentation of related financial statement, and facilitates processing footnote information which could help financial statements’ users. XBRL is more than a distribution mechanism for data or facilitating technology. XBRL has the potential to significantly improve corporate governance. Putting that potential into practice requires an XBRL taxonomy model that is data based instead of document based. This paper hypothesizes that in the presence of search-facilitating technology, users’ judgments of financial statement reliability will be influenced by the choice of recognition versus disclosure of stock option compensation than in the absence of search-facilitating technology. When the stock option accounting varies between two firms, the search technology helps in both acquiring and integrating relevant information. The paper suggests the implementation of XBRL improves transparency of financial information and managers’ choices for reporting that information.

In the U.S., the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has mandated that all public companies must file their financial statements using XBRL and the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) taxonomy according to a phased-in schedule. Are the XBRL-based financial statements interoperable? This question is addressed by analyzing all of the annual XBRL financial statements filed to the SEC as of February 26, 2010. On average, 63% of data elements are not comparable between a pair of statements. The incomparability is partly caused by issues related to the GAAP taxonomy and misuse of the taxonomy by companies. The results have practical implications that will help improve the quality of financial data.

Currently there are various formulas to calculate emissions, and there are different reporting formats. Most of the reporting formats are paper-based or non-readable-by-machine formats. The emissions of companies will influence their accounting results due to ‘cap& trade’ systems or environmental taxes. Analyses of financial impacts are important for management decisions and corporate evaluations by interested third parties. A standardized reporting format for GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions is critical for reliable analysis of the impact of emissions on finances. This paper proposes an XBRL (eXtensible Business Markup Language) format as the foundation for standardizing the emissions reporting formats, and provides a preliminary XBRL taxonomy for emissions reporting. XBRL makes it possible to combine the financial reports and the emissions reports. Evaluations of the emissions impact are easier for both managers of the company and external parties, even if a large number of emissions reports must be analyzed.

The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Final CFP: 7th International Workshop on Business Process Design (BPD2011) at BPM2011, France
by Gustaf Neumann 26 May '11

26 May '11

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final CFP: 7th International Workshop on Business Process Design (BPD2011) at BPM2011, France Date: Thu, 26 May 2011 08:47:35 +1000 From: Marta Indulska <m.indulska(a)business.uq.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org BPD2011 - 7th International Workshop on Business Process Design http://www.bpd-workshops.com/ **SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 30 MAY 2011** In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Business Process Management (http://bpm2011.isima.fr) Aug 28th-Sep 2nd, 2011, Clermont-Ferrand, France   Workshop Background and Goals: Business Process Management (BPM) has been a widely researched domain in the past two decades, with topics such as process modeling, process analysis, and process monitoring, among others, receiving significant academic attention. While these research topics are now in very advanced stages, one critical aspect of BPM has so far attracted limited academic contributions: process design. Process design is the ‘white space’ between the as-is and the to-be process models. Designing a process that improves organizational performance is a challenging task that requires a plethora of inputs (for example, organizational strategies, goals, constraints, and IT capabilities, to name a few). It is this act of process improvement that is the most value-adding step in the process lifecycle, however, existing methodologies remain vague about how to actually derive superior process design. The practice of business process design tends to rely on the creativity and previous experience of business professionals to come up with new, improved processes. Because of the variability in creativity levels, experience and tacit knowledge, the outcomes of such efforts are inconsistent and can thus undermine the potential benefits of BPM. The existing more scientific approaches have focused often on only small, well-understood business domains and are either centered around atomic improvement proposals or general reference models. Overall, much more attention is devoted to process modeling techniques and standards than actual value-adding process design. The aim of this workshop is to continue the ongoing and successful discussions of the last six BPD workshops to further nurture a body of knowledge on the disciplined, well-understood and appropriately evaluated design of business processes. Papers that introduce innovative tools for process design, as well as papers that address soft issues (human aspects) and quantitative aspects (e.g. financial evaluation of proposed process improvements), will be particularly welcome. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners who have an interest in advancing the state of the art in process design (in contrast to process modeling or execution). We seek contributions by authors who wish to share their innovative ideas and insightful observations on the subject. Two main categories of submissions will be considered: regular papers and industry papers. Topics: The workshop focuses exclusively on aspects related to process design/improvement within the process lifecycle. This specialization excludes the well-researched process modeling and process execution aspects. Within this specialized scope, topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Process improvement techniques and tools - Process design objectives - Process inefficiency diagnosis - Process improvement patterns - Process design measures and evaluation - Process design in the cloud - Process reference models - Process innovation - Constraints in process design (e.g. legislative requirements, compliance) - Process design governance - Process design for emerging challenges (e.g. greening of processes) - Process design in collaborative environments - Human aspects (involvement, participation, acceptance) in process design - Linking process design to organizational strategy and goals - Success factors in process design - Case studies and experiments Paper Submission: Papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair submission system at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpd11. For further submission details please refer to: http://www.bpd-workshops.com/ Important dates: Paper submission deadline: 30 May 2011 Notification of acceptance: 18 July 2011 Camera ready: 1 August 2011 (for inclusion in pre-proceedings) Workshop day: 29 August 2011 Camera ready for LNBIP proceedings: 19 September 2011 LNBIP proceedings delivery to authors: December 2011 Co-Chairs: Marta Indulska The University of Queensland Michael zur Muehlen Stevens Institute of Technology  Michael Rosemann Queensland University of Technology _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

For the complete list of joint conferences, see below. SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: This announcement is ONLY for those who MISSED the opportunity to submit their papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers". Therefore, authors who have already submitted papers in response to earlier "Call For Papers" should IGNORE this announcement. (Those who have been notified that their papers have been accepted, MUST still follow the instructions that were emailed to them; including meeting the deadlines mentioned in the notifications that were sent to them). Authors who submit papers in response to this announcement, will have their papers evaluated for publication consideration in the Final Edition of the conference proceedings which will go to press in late August 2011 (the conference would then make the necessary arrangements to ship the printed proceedings/book to such authors). The Final Edition of the conference proceedings will be identical to earlier edition except for a number of sections/chapters appended to the proceedings/book. The Final Edition will be indexed by Inspec / IET / The Institute for Engineering and Technology, DBLP / CS Bibliography, and others. The proceedings will be published in both, printed book/ISBN form as well as online. Prospective authors are invited to submit their papers (4-page Short Research Papers or 2-page Abstracts) by uploading them to the evaluation web site at: http://world-comp.org Submissions must be uploaded by June 8, 2011 and they must be in either MS doc (but not docx) or pdf formats (about 4 pages for Short Research Papers or about 2 pages for Abstracts). All reasonable typesetting formats are acceptable (later, the authors of accepted papers will be asked to follow a particular typesetting format to prepare their final papers for publication.) Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere. The first page of the paper should include: title of the paper, name, affiliation, postal address, and email address for each author. The first page should also identify the name of the Contact Author and a maximum of 5 topical keywords that would best represent the content of the paper. Finally, the name of the conference (see the list below) that the paper is being submitted for consideration must be stated on the first page. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee will be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject) - often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees by using a double-blinded review process. In addition, all papers whose authors included a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels).

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2010 delegates photos available at: www.pixagogo.com/1676934789 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. 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. According to "Microsoft Academic Search" (a Microsoft initiative) all tracks of WORLDCOMP are listed as worldwide "Top-ranked Conferences" (based on various metrics but mainly based on the number of citations). You can access "Microsoft Academic Search" to extract citation data for each individual track of worldcomp using the following link: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ As of March 4, 2011, the papers published in the proceedings have received 14,385 citations which is a higher citation than many reputable journals in computer science. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This email was sent to: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at To opt out of this email list: http://world-comp.org/cgi-bin/rm/full.cgi?60DD6214-5F75-11DE-8C2B-D40E0F3C4…
