-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Final Call for Track Proposals ECIS 2013 - Deadline February 1st Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:47:02 +0100 From: <j.vanhillegersberg(a)utwente.nl> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> --------------------------------------------- ECIS 2013 FINAL CALL FOR CONFERENCE TRACK PROPOSALS --------------------------------------------- The 21th European Conference on Information Systems ECIS 2013 - Beyond Borders June 5-8, 2013, Utrecht, the Netherlands www.ecis2013.nl In 2013 the European Conference on Information Systems will be held in Utrecht, the Netherlands, hosted by Utrecht University. The theme of the conference: "Beyond Borders" refers to having an open mind towards new ways of doing research and establishing novel partnerships for conducting research. It also links to the multi-disciplinary nature of the field of Information Systems where we often work outside IS and collaborate with researchers in diverse disciplines. Where the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713 established borders to create peace, its 300-anniversary marks an era where the internet enables information systems to move beyond borders. As in previous years, the conference will be organized around conference tracks, focusing on both established and emergent areas of IS research. If you aspire to be a track chair for ECIS 2013, this call is for you. We are inviting you to propose a conference track and to submit it to the PC chairs at ecis2013(a)lists.science.uu.nl. Each proposal will be evaluated by the programme and conference chairs. Decisions will be based on the overall merit of the proposal, the diversity of the track team and the fit with the conference theme. The program chairs will select tracks with the objective being to balance the more traditional IS topics with emerging topics of interest. If needed, track proposals might be merged in order to obtain the best possible coverage of topics and the best mix of track chairs. Your responsibilities as a track chair will be to: 1) Promote the track and take sufficient measures to ensure an adequate number of submissions 2) Organize a peer review cycle for the papers submitted to your track assisted by a set of Associate Editors. Track chairs will nominate associate editors for the reviewing process. The PC Chairs will support for a sufficient and capable set of associate editors to perform the high quality reviewing 3) Propose to the program committee the papers that will eventually be accepted for inclusion into the conference program; nominate papers for the best paper award 4) Create an attractive track program and nominate session chairs 5) Liaise with the research chairs on all other matters that concern ECIS 2013 --------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES FOR SUBMITTING A TRACK TO ECIS 2013 --------------------------------------------------- . Email track proposal to ecis2013(a)lists.science.uu.nl as soon as possible, but no later than February 1st, 2012 . Notifications of acceptance or rejection of proposed tracks will be sent out in early March 2012 --------------- TRACK PROPOSALS --------------- Track proposals should provide a motivation for the track, a brief overview of the area, sample topics, types of contributions welcomed, and an assessment of overall appeal to conference attendees. Specifically, track proposals should include: 1) A title for the conference track 2) Names, e-mail and mailing addresses, affiliations, phone numbers, urls of website, and short bios of the two to three track co-chairs. Please designate one of the co-chairs as the primary contact person. 3) A short description of the track and its focus: define the proposed area of research, discuss the topics the track will address, and how they align with the ECIS 2013 conference theme. 4) A discussion on how these topics have recently been covered in other conferences and publications, and to substantiate that ECIS 2013 will be an appropriate and timely forum for the topics. 5) A discussion on what types of contributions are sought for: full research papers, research in progress, and/or teaching cases. 6) A list of tentative Associate Editors for the proposed track (between 5 and 15). Please provide names and affiliations, and the extent to which they may already have committed themselves to serve as AEs for your track. 7) Your track record (if any) in organising tracks, or in other academic services in the IS community When putting together your track team (that is, chairs and AEs), please be aware that the Research and Research in Progress chairs will look favourably on diversity in gender, experience, and geographical background. It is therefore worthwhile to emphasise the diversity of the track team in your proposal. Track proposals should be e-mailed to ecis2013(a)lists.science.uu.nl as soon as possible, but no later than 1 February 2012. Please note that in order to ensure interesting and sufficiently extensive range of tracks, the ECIS2013 Programme Committee might approach you with a suggestion to modify your track proposal; or in case there are proposal for same or similar topics, the committee might ask you to consider joining forces with another proposing group. Track proposals that do not meet the criteria can be directly rejected by the program chairs. Notifications of acceptance or rejection of proposed tracks will be sent out in early March 2012. ON BEHALF OF THE ECIS 2013 CONFERENCE COMMITTEE Ronald Batenburg, Utrecht University, The Netherlands, program co-chair Sjaak Brinkkemper, Utrecht University, the Netherlands, general chair Regina Conolly, Dublin City University, Ireland, program co-chair Eric van Heck, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands, program co-chair Remko Helms, Utrecht University, organizing chair Jos van Hillegersberg, University of Twente, The Netherlands, program co-chair Sarah Spiekermann, Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria, program co-chair The call for tracks can be downloaded from the conference website: www.ecis2013.nl (under downloads)

Fwd: [AISWorld] CAIS Call For Papers on Patient-Centered E-Health
by Gustaf Neumann 31 Jan '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CAIS Call For Papers on Patient-Centered E-Health Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:20:28 -0600 From: Vance Wilson <vancewilson(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS, SPECIAL SECTION ON PATIENT-CENTERED E-HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (http://aisel.aisnet.org/cais/) GUEST EDITORS Vance Wilson and Diane Strong, Worcester Polytechnic Institute INTRODUCTION Patient-Centered E-Health (PCEH) is an emerging discipline that would benefit from receiving much more research attention. As a starting point, we use Wilson’s (2009) definition of PCEH as the combination of three themes: - Patient-focus: PCEH applications are developed primarily based on needs and perspectives of patients. - Patient-activity: PCEH application designs assume that patients can participate meaningfully in providing and consuming information about, and of interest to, them. - Patient-empowerment: PCEH applications assume that patients want to, and are able to, control far-ranging aspects of their health care via a PCEH application. Although e-health applications have become common, most applications focus on the needs of healthcare providers and organizations, rather than the e-health services that patients actually desire. This is not surprising because most Health IT and health and medical informatics research has necessarily started with the development and integration of electronic records and related systems, rather than delivering e-health to patients. Our objectives in creating this special section are to explore, clarify, and expand the emerging PCEH field. We are soliciting papers from all research perspectives and disciplines and from all parts of the world. Conventional research articles are welcome, as are submissions that support research and researchers, a key mission of the CAIS Information Systems and Healthcare Department (Wilson, 2004). We specifically invite submissions in the following areas. Submissions of PCEH Research - Conceptual articles, including those that build on, critique, or replace the working definition of PCEH presented by Wilson (2009) - Review articles assessing the status or trajectory of PCEH research - Application of theories, methods, design principles, and/or practices of user-centered design and other relevant disciplines to the PCEH context - Qualitative and quantitative empirical studies of PCEH - Design research - Case studies - Teaching cases Submissions Supporting PCEH Research and Researchers - Instrument development and adaptation of instruments to the PCEH context - Literature reviews and annotated bibliographies - Tutorials related to PCEH - Panel discussions related to PCEH TIMETABLE - Submit abstract for comment by June 30, 2012 (recommended but not required) - Submit paper by October 1, 2012 - Reviews returned to authors by November 10, 2012 - Revise and resubmit by January 7, 2013* - Final decisions by February 11, 2013* - Special section papers published during March 2013* *Papers that are not revised and returned by January 7, 2013 or are not accepted for publication by February 11, 2013 will be invited to continue in the review process for publication within the Information Systems and Healthcare Department of CAIS. REVIEW PROCESS Papers will have two rounds of peer review by scholars with knowledge of, and interest in, e health. The first round will provide developmental guidance for improving those papers that show potential to be accepted for the special section. Final selections for the Special Section will be made from the second-round submissions. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Submissions to the special section will be handled outside the CAIS ScholarOne review system. All submissions should be delivered in MSWord format, following APA guidelines. Submit as an email attachment to vancewilson(a)gmail.com. REFERENCES Wilson, E. V. (2004). Editorial statement: Information systems and healthcare department.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Semantic Web Journal: Special Call for Surveys on Application Areas of Semantic Technologies Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:46:52 -0500 From: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> Reply-To: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> To: Pascal Hitzler <pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de> Semantic Web journal Special Call for Surveys on Application Areas of Semantic Technologies <http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/semantic-web-journal-special-call-…> Semantic Web technologies are currently in a transition from research to practice. The amount of progress made in different application areas, however, differs significantly, as do the challenges which lie ahead. The Semantic Web journal calls for survey papers on the state of the art in research, development, and deployment of Semantic Web technologies in specific application areas and domains. Surveys should focus on one specific application area and discuss in a comprehensive way * its importance, * the particular (past, present, and future) challenges faced in applying Semantic technologies in this area, and * the state of the art in developing foundational principles and practical solutions related to this area. Application areas covered may range from those where commercial solutions have already been deployed, to areas where basic research is still under way. They may address very specific needs, e.g., mobile recommender systems, or span broader scientific domains, e.g., the life sciences. Survey articles should have the potential to become well-known introductory and overview texts. They will be reviewed along the following dimensions: (1) Suitability as introductory text, targeted at researchers, students, or practitioners, to get started on the covered topic. (2) How comprehensive and how balanced is the presentation and coverage. (3) Readability and clarity of the presentation. (4) Importance of the covered material to the broader Semantic Web community. Prospective authors must take notice of the submission guidelines posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors Authors must submit an intention to contribute, consisting of (tentative) list of authors, (tentative) title, and a short abstract, by March 15th. The reason for this requirement is to avoid that multiple surveys are written on very similar topics. Deadlines: Intention to contribute: March 15th, 2012 Paper submission: May 15th, 2012 First notification: Usually within 8 weeks of submission In case of questions, please contact the Editors-in-chief: Pascal Hitzler Krzysztof Janowicz contact(a)semantic-web-journal.net -- Prof. Dr. Pascal Hitzler Dept. of Computer Science, Wright State University, Dayton, OH pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de http://www.knoesis.org/pascal/ Semantic Web Textbook: http://www.semantic-web-book.org Semantic Web Journal: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CFP-ALICE 2012: Second International Workshop on Adaptive Learning via Interactive, Collaborative and Emotional approaches Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:43:23 +0100 From: Mohammad Smadi <msmadi(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at> To: Mohammad Smadi <msmadi(a)iicm.tu-graz.ac.at> CALL FOR PAPERS ALICE 2012: Second International Workshop on Adaptive Learning via Interactive, Collaborative and Emotional approaches In conjunction with the CISIS 2012: The Sixth International Conference on Complex, Intelligent, and Software Intensive Systems (http://voyager.ce.fit.ac.jp/conf/cisis/2012/) July 4 - 6, 2012 Palermo, Italy http://www.aliceproject.eu SUPPORTED AND ORGANIZED by The FP7-EU project ALICE (http://www.aliceproject.eu). IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: February 29, 2012 Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2012 Camera-Ready Submission: March 23, 2012 Registration: March 23, 2012 Workshop and CISIS main Conference: July 4 - 6, 2012 SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Despite a great potential and some initial successes, e-learning systems do not yet have the impact that many believe is possible. Moreover, the gap seems to be increasing because of the greater expectations of the current generation (Digital Natives) who have grown up with modern technology. There are also more general problems. In particular, an over-emphasis on cost effectiveness has meant that content is often not as strong as it needs to be and this deficiency has contributed to a lack of user engagement and some high attrition rates. Studies have consistently highlighted the important relationship between engagement and learning, with students who are highly motivated being more likely to engage in the learning process. The Second International Workshop ALICE 2012 aims at providing a forum for innovative adaptive e-learning combining personalization, collaboration, simulation and storytelling aspects within an affective/emotional based approach able to contribute to the overcoming of the quoted limitations of current e-learning systems and content. Special emphasis is given to environments that are interactive, challenging and context aware while enabling learners' demand of empowerment, social identity, and authentic learning experience. The expected contributions should be able to effectively involve learners in educational, cultural and informative activities. Empirical results from real users in real learning and training settings will be very valuable in order to evaluate and discuss the impact of the proposed innovative features. Academic researchers, professionals and practitioners are invited to exchange their experiences and ideas about problems and solutions related to the design, development and use of advanced and innovative, knowledge based learning systems and applications. Researchers can report their ideas, models, designs and experiences on the proposed topics. TOPICS OF INTEREST The main topics of interest within the scope of advances and innovative e-Learning systems include, but are not limited to: * Affective and Emotional Approaches * Live and Virtualized Collaboration * Simulation and Serious Games * New Forms of Assessment * Storytelling * Adaptive and Knowledge-based Technologies WORKSHOP CHAIR Saverio Salerno, University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Santi Caballé, Open University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain Nicola Capuano, University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy PROGRAM COMMITTEE Thanasis Daradoumis, Open University of Catalonia, Spain Jordi Conesa, Open University of Catalonia, Spain Josep Prieto, Open University of Catalonia, Spain David Gañán, Open University of Catalonia, Spain Néstor Mora, Open University of Catalonia, Spain Anna Pierri, Centre for Research in Pure and Applied Mathematics, Italy Jose Mangione, Modelli Matematici e Applicazioni SpA, Italy Marcello Rosciano, Modelli Matematici e Applicazioni SpA, Italy Gerardo Iovane, University of Salerno, Italy Sergio Miranda, University of Salerno, Italy Sara de Freitas, Coventry University, UK Ian Dunwell, Coventry University, UK Panagiotis Petridis, Coventry University, UK Christian Gütl, Graz University of Technology, Austria Mohammad AL-Smadi, Graz University of Technology, Austria Margit Höfler, Graz University of Technology, Austria Gudrun Wesiak, Graz University of Technology, Austria Nick Scerbakov, Graz University of Technology, Austria Martin Ebner, Graz University of Technology, Austria Michalis Feidakis, University of Aegean, Greece Luis Casillas, University of Guadalajara, Mexico Maria Kordaki, University of the Aegean, Greece PAST EVENTS ALICE 2011: First International Workshop on Adaptive Learning via Interactive, Collaborative and Emotional approaches (ALICE 2011) in conjunction with the Third IEEEInternational Conference on Intelligent Networking and Collaborative Systems (INCOS 2011), Fukuoka, Japan PAPER PRESENTATION Regular Papers, Oral Presentations and Posters.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Special Section of JMIS: IT Project, Portfolio, and Program Management Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:32:43 -0500 From: Vladimir Zwass <zwass(a)fdu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CALL FOR PAPERS * ** ** Special Section of the /Journal of Management Information Systems /* * ** *IT Project, Portfolio, and Program Management * ** *Special Section Co-Editors * *James J. Jiang*, Australian National University *Gary Klein, *University of Colorado Colorado Springs In the past two decades, IS project management, as a system for accomplishing information technology development and deployment, has advanced in its application.Project management theory and practice need to be further refined, to achieve a goal of managing change with greater efficiency and lower realized risk in rapidly evolving environments.The need for rapid change under controlled situations dictates the requirement for newer and better practices in defining the projects and their management to achieve desired goals.Project portfolio and program management ? the selection and management of projects as a collective ? consider the aspects of managing multiple projects to make the best use of limited resources to implement organizational strategies.The complexity of managing individual and multiple projects is inherent due to the variety of stakeholders involved and geographic separation of project components which can often span functional, organizational, cultural, and international boundaries. The goal of this Special Section is primarily to foster theoretical development regarding these refined practices of IS project, portfolio and program management. However, methodologically innovative and significant studies of practice aligned with success are also encouraged.As project management covers a broad range of areas (e.g., risk management, benefits management, control design, stakeholder analysis), the scope of this Special Section will be broad in shaping future studies in IT project management. *SPECIAL SECTION EDITORIAL BOARD * Walter Fernandez, The Australian National University Laurie J. Kirsch, University of Pittsburgh Carol Saunders, University of Central Florida Bernard Tan, National University of Singapore Amrit Tiwana, University of Georgia Rodney Turner, Europrojex & Université Lille Nord de France *TOPICS * All topics related to IT project, portfolio and program management research are welcome. The following are a few sample research issues: Models of project, portfolio and program success External influences on projects, portfolios and programs Cultural impacts in the areas of project, portfolio and program management Organizational fit of IT project, portfolio and program structures Project governance and decision rights configuration Control mechanism design Risk management in project programs and portfolios ** *SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: * Submitted papers must make a significant and novel contribution to theory, or practice well-grounded in theory, and be supported by appropriate evidence. All research paradigms and methodologies are welcome. Interdisciplinary collaboration is encouraged. Strong preference will be given to papers that contribute distinctive, non-trivial IS-centric insights to theoretical perspectives in IT or its reference disciplines, rather than to the applications of existing theories to an IS context. Interested authors are required to submit extended abstracts of no more than two pages for their planned submissions. This will give the editorial team an opportunity to determine if a planned submission is appropriate for expedited handling and review. Abstracts and full papers should be submitted by email to JMISprojectmanagement(a)gmail.com. Submissions should follow standard formatting and style guidelines for the /Journal of Management Information Systems./ *REVIEW PROCESS: * Inappropriately targeted or underdeveloped papers will be returned promptly to the authors after a review by both Special Section Co-editors.Review of paper submissions will be double-blind. Both a blinded manuscript without identifying author information and a non-blinded cover page with author information and acknowledgements should be submitted. ** *IMPORTANT DATES * - Abstract submissions: May 1, 2012 - Full paper due: October 1, 2012 - First round of reviews provided to the authors: January 1, 2013 - Paper revisions due: April 1, 2013 - Final decision on acceptance of papers: June 2013

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] MEDES'12 CFP: 4th International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems, Addis Ababa-Ethiopia Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:28:53 +0100 From: Richard Chbeir <richard.chbeir(a)u-bourgogne.fr> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ------ Sorry for cross-postings -------- The International Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2012) In-Cooperation with ACM, ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6 (pending) http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/12/ October 28-31, 2012 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Description and Objectives --------------------------- In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. 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. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- In this call, we solicit original research and technical papers not published elsewhere. The papers can be theoretical, practical and application oriented on the following themes (but not limited to): - Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure - Green computing - Emergent Intelligence - Services - Trust, Security& Privacy - Data& Knowledge Management - Web and Standards - Human-Computer Interaction - Networks and Protocols - Open Source - Miscellaneous Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers. After the preliminary notification date, authors rebut by evidence and arguments all reviewer inquiries and their comments. Based on the rebuttal feedback, reviewers notify authors with the final decision. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, and quality of presentation. Preference will be given to submissions that take strong or challenging positions on important emergent topics related to Digital Ecosystems. At least one author should attend the conference to present the paper. The conference Proceedings will be published by ACM and indexed by the ACM Digital Library and DBLP. Important Dates ---------------- - Submission Date: June 05th, 2012 - Preliminary Notification of Acceptance: September 3rd, 2012 - Rebuttal Deadline: September 7th, 2012 - Final Notification of Acceptance: September 10th, 2012 - Camera Ready: September 20th, 2012 - Conference Dates: October 28-31, 2012 Special issues and Journal Publication --------------------------------------- Extended versions of selected papers will be published in several peer reviewed journals. The list of journals will be announced later.
