-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP: AMCIS 2012 Mini-Track: Success Factors and Enablers for theAdoption and Diffusion of e-Government Services Datum: Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:27:06 +0100 (CET) Von: Prof. Dr. Jörg Becker<joerg.becker(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de CALL FOR PAPERS-AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 TRACK: E-Government MINI-TRACK: Success Factors and Enablers for the Adoption and Diffusion of e-Government Services E-Government services development has been subject to research for years. Various projects from both the theoretical and practical perspective have dealt, e.g., with the implementation of IT systems for e-Government service delivery, organizational changes in order to enhance the overall performance of public administrations, or the adoption of e-Government services. E-Government services like electronic tax computation promise advantages for all stakeholders: a customer-oriented 24/7 service with shorter response time for the citizens and businesses as well as process optimization effects or cost reduction for the public administrations. On the one hand, administrations increasingly provide their services online, and the e-Government readiness is growing. On the other hand, the acceptance and usage rate of e-Government services amongst the citizens is still rather low in many countries. Comparing these effects to other domains like net-banking or e-Commerce, which are very popular in industrialized parts of the world, this lack of acceptance is somehow astonishing. A similar argument can be made for e-Democracy, where somehow the uptake does seem to be low compared to the promises. However, only with high usage rates the promised effects regarding cost reduction and process efficiency for the citizens, businesses and the public administrations can be achieved. Various studies show that the mere existence of IT-based services and especially e-Government services are not success factors of their own. In the end, it is the potential users adopting the services, making the technology a successful one. It has shown that there is a variety of influences that drive the acceptance of e-Government. In order to increase the success of e-Government service development, several research areas still need to be tackled: What are the success factors and enablers for the acceptance of e-Government services? What are the main factors which hamper the use of e-Government services? How can the acceptance of e-Government services be boosted? TOPICS The topics of the mini-track are related but not limited to: __ Case studies and empirical evaluations on the acceptance of e-Government services by citizens and further customers of public administrations __ Identification of key success factors and critical enablers for the acceptance of e-Government services __ Description of procedure models and/or research agendas for the increase of e-Government service adoption __ Theoretical reflections on acceptance rates of e-Government services __ Evaluation and/or adoption of classical IS acceptance models to the domain of e-Government __ Investigations on the role of communication issues and/or psychological issues in the area of e-Government service acceptance __ Comparative studies on adoption and diffusion of IT-based services in the public sector and other application domains __ Comparative analyses of e-Government adoption in different countries and in different parts of the world (e.g., with a focus on e-Government adoption in developing countries) __ Studies on the role of culture influencing the e-Government and e-Democracy adoption __ Evaluations on how public administrations' use of new technologies like social media and mobile technologies can affect e-Democracy and e-Government adoption __ E-Government Acceptance through mobile e-Government services __ Open data government policies as facilitator of E-government service acceptance __ Influence of service oriented architectures and standard web services on e-Government adoption IMPORTANT DEADLINES __ January 2, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 __ March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions __ April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date __ April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due __ June 12, 2012: Last day for AMCIS 2012 Early Registration __ July 13, 2012: Deadline for making hotel room reservations __ July 24, 2012: Last day for AMCIS 2012 Regular Registration Instructions for authors and more information about the conference at: http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ MINI-TRACK CO-CHAIRS: Prof. Dr. Jörg Becker European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS) University of Münster becker(a)ercis.uni-muenster.de Prof. Dr. Jos van Hillegersberg Department for Information Systems& Change Management European Research Center for Information Systems (ERCIS) j.vanhillegersberg(a)utwente.nl Assoc.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: AMCIS 2012 - Minitrack on Very Large Business Applications Datum: Mon, 9 Jan 2012 17:04:57 +0100 Von: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)ovgu.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/) Track: Enterprise systems (SIGEntSys) Minitrack: Very Large Business Applications ================================================================ DESCRIPTION Enterprise Systems are an essential part of modern and successful companies. While looking at the supply chain, multiple aspects of the usage and impact of Enterprise Systems have been discussed in both scientific and practice. To pay respect for the current development of emerging technologies like mash-ups, web 2.0 and cloud computing on the one side and the increasing agility of business models on the other side the question arises how Enterprise Systems will look like in the future. Transferring this recent development into the context of Enterprise Systems we see a new class of Enterprise Systems which address the need for more agility in the whole supply chain with a more loosely coupled system of separate elements combines together to a highly integrated, complex Information Systems. While this is an emerging topic in Enterprise Systems, we denote these kinds of Information Systems as Very Large Business Applications (VLBA). VLBA are acting as an enabler for intra- and interorganisational, distributed business processes and play a significant role in the development of new markets and business models therefore. This Mini-Track aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potentials of VLBA to solve integration and coordination problems in inter- and intraorganisational business processes as a key enabler of flexible boundary-less information systems. Key research questions are: - how to represent VLBA in service-based computing systems by employing and adopting constructs, models, and methods of the different information systems technology stacks, - how to describe VLBA, - how to coordinate software-based business processes by employing and adopting approaches for service discovery and service composition, - how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based services with approaches for SLA representation, SLA management, and SLA negotiation, and - how to control the delivery of software-based services in VLBA by measuring their efficiency and effectiveness? SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following: - Cloud Computing and VLBA - VLBA Operations Management - Strategic, tactic and operative Systems Landscape Engineering - VLBA Business Simulations - VLBA Business Models - Analytical Business Process Engineering for VLBA - VLBA and Knowledge Management - VLBA security issues - Innovative VLBA Applications We invite contributions from different disciplines including information systems, information management, computer and management science to properly cover the facets of Very Large Business Applications. We encourage papers applying quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science.

Essentially, service-oriented enterprises are organizations that take advantage of service-oriented computing to support agile enterprises. Gartner has defined enterprise agility as "the ability of an organization to sense environmental change and respond efficiently and effectively to that change." Currently, there are many open research issues on the analysis and design for the service-oriented enterprises that need attention from the MIS community. This minitrack provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in presenting their work in this area. The suggested topics are found in, although not limited to, the following list: * Analysis and design of business services * Best practices in analysis and design for service-oriented enterprises * Business modeling in service-oriented enterprises * Centrality of information in service-oriented enterprises * Componentization of businesses * Enterprise services for business process automation * Innovative paradigms and techniques in support of flexible business processes * Language issues in service-oriented computing * Modeling of process services * Modular service composition (or enterprise service mash-ups). * Service modeling and catalog management * Service-oriented system analysis and design techniques * Service reuse in application development * Web service composition in support of collaboration Important Dates First week of January, 2012: Submission system opens _http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012_ March 1, 2012: Full paper submission deadline April 2, 2012: Authors notified of paper acceptance decision April 20, 2012: Camera-ready papers due FURTHER INFORMATION: Conference website: _http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/_ Track chairs: Padmal Vitharana padmal(a)syr.edu Syracuse University Syracuse, NY 13244 _http://myweb.whitman.syr.edu/padmal_ Kumar Bhaskaran bha(a)us.ibm.com IBM Research Hawthorne, NY _http://www.ibm.com_ Hemant Jain jain(a)uwm.edu University of Wisconsin -- Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI 53211 _http://www.sba.uwm.edu/jain_h/_ --- Padmal Vitharana Associate Professor Management Information Systems Syracuse University Room 506 Whitman School of Management 721 University Avenue Syracuse, NY 13244-2450 Email: _padmal(a)syr.edu_ <mailto:padmal@syr.edu> Phone: (315) 443-3132 Fax: (315) 443-5457 _http://myweb.whitman.syr.edu/padmal/_
