-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: rBPM 2011 @ BPM 2011 (deadline extension) Date: Fri, 20 May 2011 01:00:42 -0300 From: Marcelo Fantinato <m.fantinato(a)usp.br> To: <sbc-l(a)sbc.org.br>, <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *2nd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management (rBPM 2011) *http://each.uspnet.usp.br/rbpm/2011/ August 29, 2011 Clermont-Ferrand, France In conjunction with the *9th International Conference on Business Process Management (BPM 2011)* http://bpm2011.isima.fr/ ------- CALL FOR PAPERS (deadline extension) ------- *** Paper submission deadline: 20 May 2011 29 May 2011 *** *Aims and Scope* ============= The current complexity inherent in the corporative world demands a great dynamism from the IT infrastructure in order to provide technical solutions for conducting business. Business Process Management (BPM), including its service-oriented foundation, has been providing important technological support to improve organization competitiveness. In order to increase dynamism and competitiveness, BPM can benefit from reuse approaches and techniques at several stages of business process life cycle. The 2nd International Workshop on Reuse in Business Process Management will be dedicated to explore any type of reuse in the Business Process Management domain as well as it was its first edition. Therefore, it will be a forum to discuss systematic reuse applied to BPM at its various levels: the basic service-oriented foundation level – including issues such as service development, description, publication, discovery and selection; the service composition level – encompassing service negotiation and service aggregation; the management and monitoring upper level – including business process modeling, execution, monitoring, and contract establishment and enactment; and; the Quality of Service and Semantics orthogonal level. Moreover, the impact of reuse on business- and service-oriented engineering as well as how it can help in the design of more high-quality process models are very important topics to be discussed in this workshop. Different existing reuse approaches and techniques can be extended to be applied to this fairly new domain, including: software product line or software product families; variability descriptors; design patterns such as feature modeling; aspect-orientation; and component-based development. In addition, completely new approaches and techniques can be proposed. Their use must also be discussed, preferably under experimentation as well as results analysis. *Suggested Topics *============== Possible topics for the workshop papers are (but are not restricted to): - Product Lines (Product Families) for BPM - Patterns for business process and workflows - Variability descriptors applied in BPM elements - Feature modeling applied in BPM elements - Aspect-oriented extensions for BPM - Component-based Development and Service and Business-oriented Engineering - Reuse in Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) - Reuse in service development, negotiation, composition - Quality of Service (QoS) and Reuse - Reuse in SaaS (Software as a Service) approaches - Reusable asset libraries for BPM - Reuse in semantic Web services - Empirical findings related to reuse in the BPM domain - Surveys related to reuse in the BPM domain - Reuse in business process modeling, execution, monitoring - Reuse in electronic contract establishment - Case studies and experiments results related to reuse in BPM - Experiences with reuse in industry - Analysis of reuse related to Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL - Reuse in e-Business, e-Commerce, B2B, B2C, virtual organizations - Web services, WSDL, WS-BPEL and extensions to improve reuse - Reuse related to ecosystems and business processes - Security and reuse *Submission Guidelines *================== Papers should be submitted in English language, in PDF format and in the LNBIP (Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing) format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Cfp E-service as social interaction (Extended submission time) Datum: Wed, 18 May 2011 14:53:09 +0200 Von: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> */Call for papers /* ** *Special Issue on ”E-services as social interaction”* */Extended submission date: July 1, 2011 /* ** The international journal */Systems, Signs &/**/Actions/*invites to a Special Issue on ”E-services as social interaction”. Submissions are welcome! Systems, Signs & Actionsis an open journal with special emphasis on communication, information technology and work (www.sysiac.org). *Background* There is a rapid growth in the development and launching of new e-services. E-services are widely used both in the commercial and the public sector. What is special with an e-service compared with other IT resources? An e-service is often defined to be an electronically mediated service to customers outside the organisation that is providing the service. The customers (as external users) can be consumers in commercial settings or citizens in public settings. An e-service implies important differences compared to human services. In e-services there is usually not any face-to-face meeting between the customer and the service provider. Instead of a direct human-to-human interaction there will be a human-artefact interaction. The customer will interact with an IT-based service artefact instead of interacting with humans. This important feature has sometimes concealed the genuinely social character of e-services. Even if human service providers are not present in the e-service meeting, they are participating in a distant way. The e-service artefact is a service agent representing the e-service provider. It is important that the use of e-services is not reduced to a limited human-computer interaction. The social character of the e-service use should be acknowledged. There is always a customer – service provider interaction that is mediated through the e-service. Many times the e-service will also be a mediator between different customers. Many e-services have features for interaction within customer communities. *Topics* Possible topics for this special issue: ·Customers and suppliers interacting through commercial e-services ·Citizens and public agencies interacting through public e-services ·Interaction among customers (communities) through the use of e-services ·The co-existence of different e-services ·Service transformation through e-services ·Understanding services in new ways through e-services ·User-interfaces of e-services as communication media ·E-services and different types of actor roles Other related issues are also welcome. *Submissions* Submit your article to submissions(a)sysiac.org not later than July 1, 2011. Guest editor for this special issue is Karin Axelsson. Enquiries concerning this Special Issue can be sent to ·Chief editor Göran Goldkuhl (goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se <mailto:goran.goldkuhl@liu.se>) ·Guest editor Karin Axelsson(karin.axelsson(a)liu.se) *A Special Issue in honour of Göran Hultgren* This special issue is prepared in honour of Göran Hultgren who conducted research on e-services. He was very eager in arguing for a social interaction perspective when studying e-services. In 2007 he presented his PhD dissertation in Swedish on this subject. He did not, however, write so many papers in English on this subject. Two important papers written in English are: Hultgren, G; Eriksson, O (2005) The Concept of e-Service from a Social Interaction Perspective, in /Proc of Action in Language, Organisations and Information Systems ALOIS*2005/, The 3rd International Conference, 15–16 March 2005, Limerick, Ireland; Available at http://www.vits.org/?pageId=10&pubId=493 <http://www.vits.org/?pageId=10&pubId=493> Hultgren, G; Eriksson, O (2005) The User Interface as a Supplier of Intertwined e-Services, /the 14th Intl Conf on Information Systems Development/, Karlstad University Available at http://www.vits.org/?pageId=10&pubId=708 <http://www.vits.org/?pageId=10&pubId=708> Göran Hultgren died suddenly in April 2009, only 49 years old. There are many research friends who miss him and his warm, friendly and humble personality. Submissions to this Special Issue may refer to works by Göran Hultgren, but you are not obliged to do so.

In addition, the book format is likely to be changed from a single volume to a two-volume Handbook of Research. Thank you very much for your support! -In Lee, Editor CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS Proposals Submission Deadline: May 31, 2011 Full Chapters Due: August 16, 2011 Title: Strategy, Adoption and Competitive Advantage of Mobile Services in the Global Economy Publisher: IGI Editor: Dr. In Lee, Western Illinois University, USA E-mail: I-Lee(a)wiu.edu More Information: http://www.igi-global.com/authorseditors/authoreditorresources/callforbookc… Introduction Mobile services are mobility-enhancing computing services that can be delivered to a user’s mobile device over a wireless network. Mobile services play a very important role in the world economy. As business paradigm shifts from a desktop-centric environment to a data-centric mobile environment, mobile services provide numerous new business opportunities, and at the same time, challenge many of the basic premises of existing business models. Mobile technologies have advanced at an unprecedented speed due to consumers’ increasing demand for new devices/services and corresponding corporate R&D efforts. These rapid technological developments have contributed to the impressive growth of mobile subscribers. Mobile services such as mobile messaging, mobile banking, mobile Web browsing, e-mails, mobile entertainment, information retrieval, maps, location-based advertising, and so forth, hold great potential for new business models and applications in mobile commerce. Objective of the Book The convergence of the Internet and wireless technology in the late 1990s has produced a revolutionary telecommunication phenomenon called mobile services. Due to the extraordinary speed of technological advances, factors and issues influencing mobile services are not well understood, and empirical and theoretical studies are lacking. Enabling and disabling factors affect subscribers’ adoption and interaction with mobile services, which may be different from a desktop-centric environment. Given the current technological transition from 3G to 4G and the demand for further research, this book seeks to foster a scientific understanding of mobile services, provide a timely publication of current research efforts, and forecast future trends in the mobile services industry. Target Audience The projected audience for the books will consist of: 1. Academics/Researchers: This book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in several different research fields. 2. Government Policymakers: The book will be of interest to the policymakers internationally because of the field studies from different parts of the world. 3. Corporate Managers: The book will be of interest to the managers of firms who might gain from studies of mobile services from around the world. 4. Instructors: It can also be employed as a supplemental text for a graduate course on mobile services. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Topics to be discussed in this book include (but are not limited to) the following: - Analysis and design of mobile services - Analysis of the mobile services industry - Business strategies of mobile services - Competitive advantages of mobile services - Conceptual frameworks for understanding mobile services and mobile use - Design of mobile services interface - Economic, social, and cultural issues of mobile services - Emerging technologies in mobile services - Factors influencing adoption of mobile services - Human factors in mobile services - Mobile devices and services in bridging the digital divide - Mobile evaluation techniques - Mobile service applications - Mobile service development - Mobile service management - Mobile services for enterprises - Mobile services for governments - Mobile services for social networking, healthcare, or targeted advertising - Mobile services lifecycle management and distribution models - Mobile social commerce - Mobile social media - Mobile user behavior - Mobile Web 2.0 and mobile web application frameworks - Multi agent systems for mobile services - Novel mobile services and applications - Strengths and weaknesses of mobile services - Theories, models, issues of mobile services - Trends in mobile services industry - Trust, reputation, security, and privacy issues in mobile services Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before May 31, 2011, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP: PMC 2011 - 1st International Workshop on Process Model Collections Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 09:52:55 +1000 From: Marcello La Rosa <m.larosa(a)qut.edu.au> To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> First International Workshop on "Process Model Collections" (http://www.processcollections.org) In conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Business Process Management (http://bpm2011.isima.fr) Aug 28th-Sep 2nd, 2011, Clermont-Ferrand, France Important dates: Submission of Papers: May 29, 2011 Notification: June 30, 2011 Final Version Due: July 15, 2011 Workshop: August 29, 2011 Workshop Background and Goals: Nowadays, as organizations reach higher levels of Business Process Management maturity, they tend to collect large collections of business process models. It is quite common that such collections of industry-strength business process models include thousands of activities and related business objects such as data, applications, risks, etc. These models are increasingly published over an Intranet to a large number of stakeholders with varying skills and responsibilities. In that sense, it may not come as a surprise that many organizations struggle to manage such high volumes of complex process models. The problem is exacerbated by overlapping content across models, poor version management, process models that are used simultaneously for different purposes, the use of different modeling notations such as EPCs, BPMN, etc. In the light of the above, the aim of this workshop is to attract novel research in the area of business process model collections. Conceptual, technical and application-oriented contributions are sought within the scope of this theme. Conceptual work relates to the design of approaches for the management of process model collections, e.g. frameworks and structures to govern the use of such collections. Technical work concerns solutions to operationalize the management, and facilitate the maintenance, of content in process model collections, e.g. via refactoring or abstraction techniques. It also concerns software aspects related to process model collections such as version management, efficient storage, querying and retrieval of process models, and security. Finally, interest is also devoted to application papers describing case studies with, or empirical evaluations of, industrial process model collections and reference process models (e.g. ITIL, SCOR, eTOM). Topics: Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: - management of process model collections (e.g. frameworks, modeling conventions and guidelines, governance, standardization) - refactoring techniques and maintenance aspects (e.g. clone detection, structuring, abstraction) - features of process model repositories (e.g. version management, storage, querying and retrieval, indexing, security) - process similarity search - process merging and consolidation - variability management, process configuration and process families - case studies and empirical evaluations of industrial process model repositories and reference process model collections (e.g. ITIL, SCOR, eTOM). Format of the Workshop: The workshop will consist of presentations of the accepted papers and an additional key-note speaker. Papers should be submitted in advance and will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. All accepted papers will be published as pre-proceedings and, potentially in revised form, in the workshop proceedings published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes on Business Information Processing. At least one author for each accepted paper should register for the workshop and plan to present the paper. Paper Submission: Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted, and the length of a paper should not exceed 12 pages. Papers should be formatted in LNBIP format. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (work in progress/regular paper). Papers should be submitted electronically via the PMC'11 submission system. Please upload a self-contained PostScript file or PDF file. All submissions must be received by no later than May 29, 2011.

They offer possibilities for strengthening political deliberation and establishing new participatory models of governance through electronic means which reduce existing limitations associated with time, location, cost and physical presence. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have the potential to support the provision of information concerning government activities, decisions and public policies, and also to increase both the quantity and quality of consultation with the citizens. Also, ICT has the potential to support both top-down government initiatives and ground-up civil society ones, both aiming at enhancing public participation in the decision processes and improving interaction between society and government. ICT enable the collection of huge amounts of citizens' knowledge on the problems and needs that public policies attempt to address, and on proposed courses of government action and legislation. At the same time ICT also enable the exploitation of this knowledge for the assessment of the impact of various policy options on society, so that governments can make better and more informed decisions. However, it is necessary investigate to what extent this potential is actually exploited, what is the impact of the existing exploitation, and which contextual factors affect positively or negatively this impact. Furthermore, it is important to discover new ways of exploiting this huge potential and using ICT for increasing citizens' participation and engagement in public policy making, and to proceed to pilot applications of them in 'real-life' cases and conditions in order to assess their value, and if necessary improve and optimize them. Especially in Europe, due to its long tradition of social state characterized by strong interaction with the society and intervention in order to secure social welfare and support of weak groups (European Social Model), there is a strong interest in the above ideas. For this reason in the last ten years there has been extensive financial support by several institutions, such as the European Commission and the National and Local Governments, of research in this domain of ICT-supported/mediated citizen participation and engagement in public policy making for investigating the above research questions. It is quite interesting to reflect on the results and conclusions of this research, and attempt to exploit them both in Europe and in other parts of the world, probably with adaptations to local histories and political traditions. This Special Issue of 'Information Systems Management' solicits original high quality papers presenting this 'European Research on Electronic Citizen Participation and Engagement in Public Policy Making'. Topics of interest in this area include, but are not limited to: * Innovative forms of ICT use for supporting and enhancing citizens' participation * Advanced systems for structured high quality deliberation * Social media platforms and their applications for supporting citizens' participation * Textual analysis technologies, ontologies and taxonomies * Opinion mining and sentiment analysis * Data and argument visualization technologies * Federated content syndication systems for public participation * Trend monitoring and policy analysis * Policy modeling and impact assessment * Data-powered collective intelligence and action * Studying the impact and the overall value proposition of e-Participation * Methods for the evaluation of e-Participation * Serious Games, simulation and virtual worlds for supporting policy making * Case studies from e-Participation and e-Consultation * Theoretical aspects towards a scientific base for ICT enabled Governance Submission Authors are invited to prepare original manuscripts of around 7500 words, exclusive of exhibits, according to the 'Instructions for Authors' web-page of the Journal: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1058-0530&linktype=44 Papers should be written in grammatically correct and coherent English.

Reijers, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands Tokuro Matsuo, Yamagata University, Japan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) International Workshop on Clouds for Enterprises (C4E) 2011 by Vladimir Tosic (vladimir.tosic(a)nicta.com.au) et al. Description: ------------ Cloud computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm that aims to streamline the on-demand provisioning of software (SaaS), platform (PaaS), infrastructure (IaaS), and data (DaaS) as services. Deploying applications on a cloud can help to achieve scalability, improve flexibility of computing infrastructure , and reduce total cost of ownership. However, a variety of challenges arise when deploying and operating applications and services in complex and dynamic cloud-based environments, which are frequent in enterprises and governments. Due to the security and privacy concerns with public cloud offerings (which first attracted widespread attention), it seems likely that many enterprises and governments will choose hybrid cloud, community cloud, and (particularly in the near future) private cloud solutions. Multi-tier infrastructures like these not only promise vast opportunities for future business models and new types of integrated business services, but also pose severe technical and organizational problems. The goal of this workshop is to bring together academic, industrial, and government researchers (from different disciplines), developers, and IT managers interested in cloud computing technologies and/or their consumer-side/provider-side use in enterprises and governments. Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute to the inter-disciplinary and multi-perspective exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and analysis of open cloud research and adoption/exploitation issues. Important Dates: ---------------- Paper submission: Monday, 20 June 2011 (strict, except for re-submission of papers reviewed by CEC'11) Notification of acceptance: Monday, 4 July 2011 Organizing Committee: --------------------- Dr. Vladimir Tosic, NICTA, Australia Dr. Andrew Farrell, HP Labs, UK Dr. Karl Michael Göschka, Vienna University of Technology Sebastian Hudert, University of Bayreuth, Germany Prof. Hanan Lutfiyya, University of Western Ontario, Canada Dr. Michael Parkin, Tilburg University, The Netherlands More Details: ------------- http://nicta.com.au/people/tosicv/clouds4enterprises2011/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Decision-oriented Business Applications: Experiences and Challenges (DOBA) by Emilio Rubiera (emilio.rubiera(a)fundacionctic.org) et al. Description: ------------ Decision-oriented applications are complex due to the underlying business policies and require the participation of many stakeholders, from business experts over analysts to IT developers. In current practice, business users do not own their applications, as their construction and maintenance inevitably require having other agents involved. In the recent years, progress has been made in standardization of modeling and knowledge representation languages, as well as advances in methodologies and theoretical foundations for policy acquisition and execution. It is becoming increasingly feasible to reduce the coupling between policies and their implementations, and to empower users to independently interact with the part of a business application that is relevant to them, including the decision modeling process. One approach towards achieving this objective is to separate understandably the representation of the knowledge at the business, operational and execution levels, on the one hand; and the business vocabulary from the business rules, on the other. At the same time, it must be possible to merge them at any moment in order to provide integrated ownership, combined execution and consistency checking. The goal of this workshop is to gather together the community of business users in charge of decision-support business applications. The workshop will be a means for practitioners to share and exchange experiences, best practices, critical visions, success stories, and to de?ne a possible roadmap to the future. Important Dates: ---------------- Submission deadline: Jun 24, 2011 Notification of acceptance: Jul 8, 2011 Camera-ready paper submission: Jul 22, 2011 Workshop: September 5, 2011 Organizing Committee: --------------------- Patrick Albert, IBM, France Roman Korf, ontoprise, Germany Emilio Rubiera, Fundación CTIC, Spain More Details: ------------- http://ontorule-project.eu/dissemination/events/doba ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Convergence of Business Architecture, Business Process Architecture, Enterprise Architecture and Service Oriented Architecture by Jorge Sanz (jorges(a)us.ibm.com) et al. Description: ------------ The modernization of industries calls for a deeper integration of several business and IT disciplines. Significant knowledge sources reside in individual domains spanning business strategy, operational process management and information technology. A number of recent and ongoing engineering, computer science and business research efforts have provided invaluable formalization toward understanding architecture of organizations from a multidisciplinary point-of-view. These activities contribute to a potentially deeper integration across strategy, operations and IT by providing a diversity of assets useful for transformation of enterprises. Academic, industrial and standard organizations have made great progress in the individual disciplines and their cohesive convergence, but substantial challenges remain unresolved. As a clear signal of this trend, several architecture endeavors populate the research and professional literature. Specifically, four architectures have clearly emerged, i.e., Business Process Architecture (BPA), Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Enterprise Architecture (EA) and Business Architecture (BA), each posing the goal of providing technical rigor and convergence across their own communities of practitioners and researchers. However, the deep interconnection across these architectures and related practices present some formidable technical challenges. With the new positioning of Business Architecture coming from a revamp of interest from companies, government organizations, standards and business analysts, gaps, overlaps and related fundamental issues across architectures resurface. As a simple but conclusive example of the seminal cross-fertilization opportunity, Business Process Management (BPM) is today addressed by each SOA, EA and BA. Considering that BPM is a central subject in services business, the extent to which this commonality of concerns across architectures constitutes a redundancy, an oppositional view, or a complementarity remains to be explained. Similarly, "industry models" (in a wide and at times, also ambiguous sense) is a subject of research and practitioners' concern from different architecture and related BPM communities. There are several other important topics belonging to the same sphere of convergence that should be addressed in this Workshop. The goal of this workshop is to generate some of the foundational ground needed from research and practice that can help BA, BPA, SOA and EA converge and / or be unified whenever necessary for more cohesive business transformation and optimization of organizations. Effective use of automation and supporting information technology in industries will be substantially accelerated by seeing BA, EA, BPA and SOA providing foundations and practices that conclusively benefit from each other and become much more prescriptive than they are when individually applied.. The goal of this workshop is to gather contributions from academia and industry to foster innovation, document position statements and seed common agendas across the involved disciplines. Important Dates: ---------------- Submission deadline: June 15, 2011 Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2011 Camera-Ready copy due: July 10, 2011 Conference and Workshop program: TBA Organizing Committee: --------------------- Dr. Jorge Sanz, IBM Research, USA Prof. Leon Zhao, City University of Hong-Kong More Details: ------------- http://www.tudor.lu/cms/cec2011/content.nsf/id/soa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Sustainable Enterprise Software (SES) by Katsuhide Fujita (fujita(a)capecod.mta.nitech.ac.jp) et al. Description: ------------ SES'11 is the international workshop on advances in theory, systems, and applications for enterprise software. Enterprise software is used in organizations, such as in a business or government, as opposed to software chosen by individuals. Especially, the sustainability of enterprise software is one of an important topic, recently. Without focusing on the sustainability, the enterprise software has not been developed depending on the change of life. On the other hand, the technical breakthrough of sustainable enterprise software is not enough. This workshop is about the invention of sustainable software based on the artificial intelligence, e-commerce, and intelligent web technologies. Especially, our workshop focuses on the invention of sustainable enterprise software based on the Web Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence. The increase of Business research activities can be observed in a variety of the fields. Though there have been several workshops on Business and Services focusing on enterprise software, there is little interaction so far among researchers. The aim of this workshop is to encourage activities in this field, and to bring together world-wide researchers with an interest in Enterprise Software. Unlike the conventional conferences, this workshop will mainly discuss and explore scientific and practical problems as raised by the participants. Especially, we provide enough discussion parses for understanding the importance of sustainability and the relationships between the enterprise software and the AI techniques. Important Dates: ---------------- June, 6, 2011 - Submission deadline June 20, 2011 - Acceptance notification July 4, 2011 - Camera ready Organizing Committee: --------------------- Takayuki Ito, Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan Tokuro Matsuo, Yamagata University, Japan Naoki Fukuta, Shizuoka University, Japan Katsuhide Fujita, MIT, US / Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan More Details: ------------- http://www-itolab.mta.nitech.ac.jp/SES2011/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Green Enterprise and Commerce (GreEnCom) by Chulmo Koo Description: ------------ While industries, corporations, and information systems (IS) units have acknowledged the importance of environmental issues, the IS academy has provided limited contribution to burgeoning knowledge in this important field. For example, Google has been paying much attention to build up a clean energy future, and search better energy options: (1) Green Operations, which is trying to use as little energy as possible in data centers and office, (2) Green Products, which integrate technology, innovation, scalability, and talented tools for offset the emission that it cannot be eliminated, (3) Green Investment, which is an renewable energy project investment that achieve benefits and risk, (4) Green Awareness, which pursue a green policy, strategy, and practices. The critical role of Greening IS and Green IT for corporate greening eco-computing systems, for consumer’s motivation toward green IT behavior in response to goods and services, for protecting an environment in the future generation and solving a shortage of energy is urgently needed to be embedded in the life cycles of materials, manufacturing systems, and public infrastructure. Even though all consensus of Computer Science, Management Science based on both of academic researcher and practitioners has already begun to initiate that IS related to a set of people, infrastructure, IT components, IT service, organization strategy& capability, and consumer’s motivation would give various aspects’ views for greening business and sustainability in the next generation. Through encouragement of academic researchers to respond to this social and computing call for establishing the IS perspective into Eco-computing systems, Greening IT behavior, and next generation, we seek to expand and incorporate various research methodologies including theoretical approaches (conceptual/theory building), empirical studies encompassing broad-based surveys, case studies, technical research modeling, quantitative and analytical techniques. Specifically, our objective toward this workshop is twofold: (1) To further unite the green academic community integrating Computer Science, Management Science, and Management Information Systems in IT infrastructure, organizational aspects, and individual aspects in response to environmental issues. (2) To develop a research agenda from both researchers and practitioners for established and emergent scholars in the various areas.
