-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CoP: MISQE and SIM Pre-ICIS Workshop Datum: Sun, 28 Aug 2011 09:00:00 -0500 Von: Leidner, Dorothy <Dorothy_Leidner(a)baylor.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers, Pre-ICIS 2011 Academic Workshop and MISQE Special Issue SPONSORED BY: MIS Quarterly Executive and the Society of Information Management TITLE: Enterprises and People on the Move: Managing Mobility for Business Value Program Co-Chairs and MISQE Special Issue Editors: Dorothy Leidner, Baylor University, Senior Editor, MISQE Shan Pan, National University Singapore Juliana Sutanto, ETH-Zurich Description: The past decade has witnessed a remarkable increase in the use of mobile technologies and applications to gather and disseminate information to and from employees as well as customers. Technology advancements such as the smartphone, tablet computer, and cloud computing liberate employees from their physical constraints leading to flexible working space and time. While on one hand, an increase in employees’ mobility may lead to better productivity and customer service; on the other hand, it may generate new security and compliance challenges for their organizations. How to address the challenges of supporting employees’ mobility to eventually generate the desired business values is a pertinent and timely organizational issue. In addition, these advances in mobility provide opportunities and challenges for organizations seeking new means of reaching potential and existing customers, of personalizing customer service and advertising, and of tracking customers’ use of various services as well as customers’ responses to advertisements. As an interface to customers, advanced mobile devices may increase customization but also threaten privacy. Organizationsmust strike a careful balance between reaching its customers and pushing them away with messages that may be construed as intrusive. Those that achieve this balance are positioned to offer newer, richer services and products tocustomers. For this pre-ICIS 2011 workshop and for the MISQE special issue in 2012, we are seeking “research for practice” papers that address the value that organizations are creating through embracing mobility. We are interested both in papers that consider the challenges and solutions to managing an increasingly mobile workforce and papers that consider the challenges and solutions to managing the relationships with customers using mobile technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: IT’s Influence on Mobility Benefits and Challenges of Consumerization of IT for Enterprises Advantages and Drawbacks of Consumerization of IT for Employees Managing the Road Warriors Mobile IT Management and Strategy Strategies for Coping with the Personal Mobile Devices of Employees Increasing Employees’ Productivity through Virtual Mobility Managing the Information in the Internet of Things Obtaining Business Values from Mobile Applications Pre-ICIS 2011 Workshop Information: Shanghai Location: TBA Date: Sunday, December 4th, time and location TBA Workshop Deadlines: •Submit extended abstract (maximum 2 pages of text, single spaced): October 1, 2011 · Notification of workshop acceptance with preliminary editorial feedback: November 1, 2011 Workshop Registration: · Registration will be posted on the SIM web site: www.simnet.org<http://www.simnet.org> · SIM Academic Workshop liaison: Mary Sumner, Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, msumner(a)siue.edu<mailto:msumner@siue.edu> MIS Quarterly Executive Special Issue Deadlines: Note: Authors are not required to attend the workshop in order to submit to the special issue.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP (Deadline Extended to Sept. 7th) - Coordination Models, Languages and Applications - CM track at ACM SAC 2012 Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:30:22 +0200 (CEST) From: Jose Luis Fernandez-Marquez <fernandez(a)iiia.csic.es> To: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at CC: Jose Luis Fernandez-Marquez <fernandez(a)iiia.csic.es> (Sorry for multiple copies) CfP (Extended Deadline): ACM SAC Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Final CALL FOR PAPERS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Coordination Models, Languages and Applications Special Track of the 27th Symposium On Applied Computing (SAC 2012) March 25 - 29, 2012, Riva del Garda (Trento), Italy http://sac2012.apice.unibo.it ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Sep. 7, 2011: Paper submissions (Extended Deadline) Oct. 12, 2011: Author notification Nov. 2, 2011: Camera-Ready Copy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AIMS& SCOPE Building on the success of the thirteen previous editions (1998-2011), a special track on coordination models, languages and applications will be held at SAC 2012. Over the last decade, we have witnessed the emergence of models, formalisms and mechanisms to describe concurrent and distributed computations and systems based on the concept of coordination. The purpose of a coordination model is to enable the integration of a number of, possibly heterogeneous, components (processes, objects, agents) in such a way that the resulting ensemble can execute as a whole, forming a software system with desired characteristics and functionalities which possibly takes advantage of parallel and distributed systems. The coordination paradigm is closely related to other contemporary software engineering approaches such as multi-agent systems, service-oriented architectures, component-based systems and related middleware platforms. Furthermore, the concept of coordination exists in many other Computer Science areas such as workflow systems, cooperative information systems, distributed artificial intelligence, and Internet technologies. After more than a decade of research, the coordination paradigm is gaining increased momentum in state-of-the-art engineering paradigms such as multi-agent systems and service-oriented architectures: in the first case, coordination abstractions are perceived as essential to design and support the working activities of agent societies; in the latter case, service coordination, orchestration, and choreography are going to be essential aspects of the next generations of systems based on Web services. The Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications takes a deliberately broad view of what constitutes coordination. Accordingly, major topics of interest this year will include: - Novel models, languages, programming and implementation techniques - Applications - Internet, Web, and pervasive computing coordinated systems - Coordination of multi-agent systems, including mobile agents, intelligent agents, and agent-based simulations - Languages for service description and composition - Models, frameworks and tools for Group Decision Making - All aspects related to Cooperative Information Systems (e.g. workflow management, CSCW) - Software architectures and software engineering techniques - Configuration and Architecture Description Languages - Middleware platforms - Self-organising and nature-inspired coordination approaches - Coordination technologies, systems and infrastructures - Relationship with other computational models such as object oriented, declarative (functional, logic, constraint) programming or their extensions with coordination capabilities - Formal aspects (semantics, type systems, reasoning, verification) - Coordination models and specification in Service-Oriented Architectures, Web Service technologies (orchestration, choreography, etc), and Pervasive Computing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PROCEEDINGS Papers accepted for the Special Track on Coordination Models, Languages and Applications will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2012 proceedings and in the Digital Library. A Special Issue on an International Journal (with IF) based on selected papers is planned just after the conference. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PAPER SUBMISSION All papers should represent original and previously unpublished works that currently are not under review in any conference or journal. The author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the body of the paper, and self-reference should be in the third person. This is to facilitate blind review. Only the title should be shown at the first page without the author's information. Submitted papers must be no longer than 6 pages and in the ACM two-column page format (doc template, pdf template, latex template). It will be possible to have up to 2 extra pages in the proceeding at a charge of $80 per page (total 8 pages maximum). Submission is entirely automated via the STAR Submission System, which is available from the main SAC Web Site: http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2012/. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TRACK CO-CHAIR Mirko Viroli, Alma Mater Studiorum - Universita di Bologna, Italy Gabriella Castelli, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy Jose Luis Fernandez-Marquez, IIIA-CSIC, Spain ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM COMMITTEE Farhad Arbab, CWI Amsterdam and Leiden University, Netherlands Marcello Bonsangue, Leiden University, Netherlands Dave Clarke, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Ferruccio Damiani, University of Torino, Italy Rocco De Nicola, University of Firenze, Italy Simon Dobson, University of St Andrews, Scotland Keith Harrison-Broninski, Role Modellers Ltd, UK Manuel Mazzara, Newcastle University, UK Henry Muccini, University of l'Aquila, Italy Andrea Omicini, University of Bologna, Italy Manuel Oriol, University of York, UK Antonio Porto, University of Porto, Portugal Rosario Pugliese, University of Florence, Italy Alessandro Ricci, University of Bologna, Italy Davide Rossi, University of Bologna, Italy Norman Salazar, Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Spain Michael Ignaz Schumacher, University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland Yasuyuki Tahara, National Institute of Informatics, Japan Carolyn Talcott, SRI International, USA Paul Tarau, University of North Texas, USA Robert Tolksdorf, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany Emilio Tuosto, University of Leicester, UK Meritxell Vinyals, Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, Spain George Wells, Rhodes University, South Africa Herbert Wiklicky, Imperial College London, UK Pawel T.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Final CFP: DASC2011 (Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing) - Deadline: August 30, 2011 Datum: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:09:30 +1000 Von: Chang Liu <changliu.aus(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Submission deadline extended to August 30, 2011. Call for papers: DASC2011 - 9th IEEE International Conference on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing, Dec.12-14, 2011, Sydney, Australia. Website: http://www.swinflow.org/confs/dasc2011/ Key dates: Submission Deadline: extended to August 30, 2011 Submission site: http://cse.stfx.ca/~DASC2011/sub/ <http://cse.stfx.ca/%7EDASC2011/sub/> Publication: Proceedings will be published by IEEE CS Press. Special issues: Distinguised papers will be selected for special issues in Journal of Computer and System Sciences; or Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience. =========== Introduction As computer systems become increasingly large and complex, their Dependability, Security and Autonomy play critical role at supporting next-generation science, engineering, and commercial applications. These systems consist of heterogeneous software/hardware/network components of changing capacities, availability, and in varied contexts. They provide computing services to large pools of users and applications, and thus are exposed to a number of dangers such as accidental/deliberate faults, virus infections, malicious attacks, illegal intrusions, and natural disasters etc. As a result, too often computer systems fail, become compromised, or perform poorly and therefore untrustworthy. Thus, it remains a challenge to design, analyze, evaluate, and improve the dependability and security for a trusted computing environment. Trusted computing targets computing and communication systems as well as services that are autonomous, dependable, secure, privacy protect-able, predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable and sustainable. The scale and complexity of information systems evolve towards overwhelming the capability of system administrators, programmers, and designers. This calls for the autonomic computing paradigm, which meets the requirement of self-management by providing self-optimization, self-healing, self-configuration, and self-protection. As a promising means to implement dependable and secure systems in a self-managing manner, autonomic computing technology needs to be further explored. On the other hand, any autonomic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trusted and autonomic computing and communications need synergistic research efforts covering many disciplines, ranging from computer science and engineering, to the natural sciences to the social sciences. It requires scientific and technological advances in a wide variety of fields, as well as new software, system architectures, and communication systems that support the effective and coherent integration of the constituent technologies. Scope and Topics Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to: #Autonomic Computing Theory, Models, Architectures and Communications #Dependable Automatic Control Techniques and Systems #Cloud Computing with Autonomic and Trusted Environment #Dependability Models and Evaluation Algorithms #Dependable Sensors, Devices, Electronic-Mechanical Systems, Optic-Electronic Systems, Embedded Systems, etc. #Self-improvement in Dependable Systems #Self-healing, Self-protection and Fault-tolerant Systems #Hardware and Software Reliability, Verification and Testing #Software Engineering for Dependable Systems #Safety-critical Systems in Transportation, Power System, etc. #Security Models and Quantifications #Trusted P2P, Web Service, SoA, SaaS, EaaS, PaaS, etc. #Self-protection and Intrusion-detection in Security #DRM, Watermarking Technology, IP Protection #Context-aware Access Control #Virus Detections and Anti-virus Techniques/Software #Cyber Attack, Crime and Cyber War #Human Interaction with Trusted and Autonomic Computing Systems #Security, Dependability and Autonomic Issues in Ubiquitous Computing #QoS in Communications and Services Submission Guidelines Submissions must include an abstract, keywords, the e-mail address of the corresponding author and should not exceed 8 pages for main conference, including tables and figures in IEEE CS format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Chapter Proposals --> 'Online Collective Action: Dynamics of the Crowd in Social Media' Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:12:22 -0500 From: Rolf Wigand <rtwigand(a)ualr.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, isworld(a)aisnet.org *Call for Chapter Proposals* */Online Collective Action: Dynamics of the Crowd in Social Media/* http://participatorymedia.lab.asu.edu/OCA/index.html Edited by: Nitin Agarwal (nxagarwal(a)ualr.edu <mailto:nxagarwal@ualr.edu>) Universityof Arkansasat Little Rock Merlyna Lim (Merlyna.Lim(a)asu.edu <mailto:Merlyna.Lim@asu.edu>) ArizonaStateUniversity RolfT. Wigand (rtwigand(a)ualr.edu <mailto:rtwigand@ualr.edu>) Universityof Arkansasat Little Rock To appear under Springer?s Lecture Notes in Social Networks Series http://www.springer.com/series/8768 Series Editors: Nasrullah Memon and Reda Alhajj ** *Aims, Scope, and Purpose of the Book* Social media have played a substantial role in supporting collective actions. In various recent events, from the Arab Spring to the Londonriots, they are described as important tools for the disparate crowd to communicate, coordinate, and mobilize itself. However, despite the pervasive act of labeling recent events as ?Facebook revolution,? ?Twitter revolution,? and ?BBM riot,? there is very little in-depth research devoted to advance our understanding of online collective actions. Mere journalistic accounts on such actions are inevitably based on anecdotes rather than rigorously designed research. Existing computational studies focusing on capturing and mapping the interactions and issues prevailing in social media manage to identify the manifestations of collective actions. These, however, lack modeling and predictive capabilities. Moreover, such computational theories do not utilize, reflect nor do they leverage findings of long-established sociological studies on collective action and/or social movements. The study of collective action has a long established history. Collective action is defined as the pursuit of a goal or set of goals by more than one person. More specifically, collective action is any situation in which the uncoordinated actions of each player may not result in the best outcome he or she can achieve. Collectively, however, such combined actions pursuing a goal may be successful, largely due to the power of the group or ?collective?. Collective Action Theory was originally developed by Ronald Coase in 1937 and later updated by Mancur Olson in 1965; both, however, in the pre-Internet era. The availability of the Internet and social media has made coordination and communication between individuals easier, less costly and less time consuming. The contemporary use of social media, in particular, has unavoidably linked collective behavior with social networks. As individuals and groups become more networked through social media, real-time communication can take place in the vast social network instantaneously. How does this new way of communication influence the formation of collective action? Is there a need to reassess collective action theory to provide deeper insights for successful contemporary collective action efforts leveraging the new way of communication? Are there any fundamental aspects of contemporary collective action efforts that can be identified and explained using existing collective action theory or do we need innovative approaches and methodologies to re-frame and re-conceive collective action theory in online environments? *Intended Contributions of the Book* We aim to bridge the gap between the manifestations of collective action and its fundamental and theoretical aspects in the new information and communication technology (ICT) landscape. We, therefore, invite qualitative and quantitative studies from computational and social sciences focusing on online collective actions promoting a symbiotic and synergistic advancement of the disciplines. More specifically, ·Through this book we intend to illuminate several fundamental and powerful yet theoretically undeveloped aspects of collective action in social media. ·The book will provide an interdisciplinary platform to researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from different disciplines to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, principles, and methodologies, aiming to advance and deepen our understanding of collective action in social media to help critical decision and policy making. ·The developed methodologies will be a valuable companion and comprehensive reference for anyone interested in newer ICT, examining their role in decision and policy making; understanding the dynamics of interaction, communication, information propagation, and opinion diffusion; and researching in social networks for years to come. ·The book will also serve as an extensive repository of data sets and tools that can be used by researchers leading to a perpetual and synergistic advancement of the discipline. ·The recent advancements in Web 2.0 have provided vast opportunities to investigate the dynamics and structure of web based social networks. The book will facilitate dissemination of these investigations and their outcomes. *Intended Audience of the Book* The target audience for this book will consist of researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from the various disciplines including (but not limited to) sociology, behavioral science, computer science, information science, psychology, cultural study, operations research, political science, and communication/media studies. This is not a college textbook. However, it can be used as a reference text for advanced courses in various interdisciplinary fields such as human-computer interaction, game theory, political communication, social network analysis and mining, organization theory, and social computing, among others. *Recommended Topics * The edited book welcomes theoretical, analytical, methodological, and empirical contributions, using any kind of research method, including experiments, primary data from social media logs, case studies (national or transnational), simulations, surveys, and so on. Submissions are encouraged on topics that examine the role of the Internet and social media on collective action theory and study the dynamics of the crowd. Some suggested topics are listed below: ·Theory and foundations of collective action in the era of the Internet and social media ·Datasets and methodologies to analyze online dynamics of the crowd at different scales ·Emerging trends, tools, and applications to examine online forms of collective action ·Strategic social interactions in online environments ·Extent and roles of social media (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.) in fueling popular movements ·Online citizen journalism (e.g., blogging journalism) ·Effects of media censorship and its consequences on online collective action ·Online mobilization of public opinion ·E-campaigning and political/social groups ·Online mediation of women related issues *Submission Guidelines* Prospective authors must send a 750 to 1000 words chapter proposal to OCA(a)asu.edu <mailto:OCA@asu.edu> by September 15, 2011. The proposal should clearly state the objectives of the chapter and highlight the contributions towards the theme of the book. Notifications to all proposers will be sent by October 3, 2011. Authors of the accepted proposals will be requested to submit full chapters by January 16, 2012. Full chapters must be prepared following the Springer manuscript preparation guidelines available at: http://www.springer.com/authors/book+authors/resources?SGWID=0-1723113-12-8…. Full chapters will go through a double-blind peer review process. Peer review results will be sent to the authors by April 2, 2012. Final revised chapters will be due by May 30, 2012. *Important Dates* Chapter Proposals Due: September 15, 2011 Notification of Accepted Chapter Proposals: October 3, 2011 Full Chapters Due: January 16, 2012 Peer Review Results: April 2, 2012 Final Revised Chapters Due: May 30, 2012 Please note that all dates correspond to midnightPST.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CfP AIS SIG Services 2011 Workshop @ ICIS 2011 Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 18:25:21 +0200 From: Tilo Böhmann <boehmann(a)informatik.uni-hamburg.de> To: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Apologies for cross-posting. Bitte entschuldigen Sie Mehrfachzustellungen. ----------- ++ CALL FOR PAPERS ++ AIS SIG SVC 2011 Workshop Saturday, December 3, 2011, 8:30-5 PM Pujiang Hall B., Shanghai, China The economy may be soft but that is a boon for services spending which is expected to grow from $870 billion this year to over $1 trillion in 2011 according to one forecast (Gartner, 2010). These investments innovate the management of IT infrastructures, application and system portfolios, data and information provision and use, and business services using new IT-based opportunities. These opportunities play globally with strong services improvements across the globe. Thus, service-oriented thinking is one of the fastest growing paradigms. Yet for the public successes of companies such as BMW, Kone, Queensland Health, Proctor& Gamble, and Rolls Royce there are as many failures. Government and not-for-profit organizations are also radically innovating their services using information technological opportunities. However, these innovations are complex. Thus, research on management, context, service innovation, design, quality, architecture, delivery, execution, and outcomes are all needed. The goal of this workshop is to explore the challenges of services orientation in IT.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] CfP: "Digitale Netzwerke in unsicheren Umwelten" auf der MKWI 2012 Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:59:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Prof. Dr. Jörg Becker<joerg.becker(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de> Reply-To: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, wir möchten Sie noch einmal auf unsere Teilkonferenz auf der MKWI 2012 hinweisen und Sie einladen, Beiträge einzureichen: http://mkwi2012.de/themen/digitale-netzwerke-in-unsicheren-umwelten/ *"Digitale Netzwerke in unsicheren Umwelten"* Die Informationsgesellschaft wird durch das zunehmende Auftreten neuer Formen digitaler Netzwerke geprägt, die Unternehmen, öffentliche Verwaltungen und Privatpersonen enger als jemals zuvor miteinander verbinden. Die Wirtschaftsinformatik sieht sich so der Aufgabe gegenüber, neben Unternehmensnetzwerken vermehrt auch hybride Netzwerkformen wie Public Private Partnerships (PPP) oder innovative Wege zur Nutzung sozialer Netzwerke in Unternehmen und öffentlichen Verwaltungen zu untersuchen und mitzugestalten. Obwohl viele Netzwerke gebildet werden, um Unsicherheit durch einen schnelleren, umfassenderen Zugang zu Informationen zu reduzieren oder zu beherrschen, entstehen gerade durch die IT neue Arten von Unsicherheit. So hat beispielsweise die Evolution der digitalen Informationsintegration entlang der Supply Chain zwar die Produktionsplanung robuster gemacht, gleichzeitig aber gegenseitige Abhängigkeiten und damit Unsicherheiten verstärkt. Diese unsicheren Umwelten stellen besondere Anforderungen an das Netzwerkdesign. Informationsaustausche in Netzwerken stellen eine Möglichkeit zur Reduzierung dieser Unsicherheit dar, können auf der anderen Seite jedoch auch ganz neue Unsicherheiten schaffen. Eine wichtige Voraussetzung für eine erfolgreiche Vernetzung ist die Berücksichtigung der wechselseitigen Abhängigkeiten zwischen dem Management und Design von Geschäftsprozessen und Informationstechnologie. Das Management von Unsicherheit durch digitale Netzwerke bietet vielfältige Anknüpfungspunkte für die Wirtschaftsinformatik. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt der Track ein Forum bereit, in dem neue Theorien und IT-Artefakte vorgestellt und diskutiert werden können. Der Fokus wird dabei auf ein gestaltungsorientiertes Forschungsparadigma gelegt. Mögliche Themen des Tracks sind: -Konzeptionelle Arbeiten zur Systematisierung von Unsicherheit in digitalen Netzwerken -Fallstudien zum Management von Unsicherheit durch digitale Netzwerke, z. B. in der Logistik, im Bankenwesen, im Gesundheitswesen, in öffentlichen Verwaltungen, in PPP oder in sozialen Netzwerken -IT Artefakte zur Modellierung, Standardisierung und Integration von Geschäftsprozessen und Informationstechnologie in (hybriden) Netzwerken -Kooperative(s) Geschäftsprozessmanagement und -modellierung zum Management von Unsicherheit -Alignment von Managementaspekten und Informationstechnologie in digitalen Netzwerken -Empirische Untersuchungen zur Entstehung und Entwicklung von Netzwerken (Network Lifecycle) -Design und Implementierungsaspekte für die Bereitstellung geeigneter Softwarekomponenten für die Vernetzung (Web Services, Web 2.0 Technologie, Semantic Web, Ontologien) Leitung des Tracks: Prof. Dr. Jörg Becker, Dr. Daniel Beverungen, PD Dr. Patrick Delfmann, Dr. Michael Räckers European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS), Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster Termine: 15.09.2011: Annahmeschluss für die Einreichung von Beiträgen 15.11.2011: Benachrichtigung der Autorinnen und Autoren über die Annahme 15.12.2011: Einreichung der druckfertigen Beiträge und Kurzbeiträge 29.02. - 02.03.2012: MKWI 2012 Mit freundlichen Grüßen Jörg Becker -- *Prof. Dr. Jörg Becker* *Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster* *Prorektor für Strategische Planung und Qualitätssicherung* Schlossplatz 2 48149 Münster *ERCIS - European Research Center for****Information Systems* Leonardo-Campus 3 48149 Münster becker(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de <mailto:becker@ercis.uni-muenster.de> www.ercis.org <http://www.ercis.org>
