-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JGIM 20(1) - 20th Anniversary Special Issue Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:48:25 +1300 From: Felix Tan <felix.tan(a)aut.ac.nz> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The contents of the 20th Anniversary Special Issue of: Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM) Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association Volume 20, Issue 1, January-March 2012 Published: Quarterly in Print and Electronically ISSN: 1062-7375 EISSN: 1533-7995 Published by IGI Publishing, Hershey-New York, USA www.igi-global.com/jgim Editor-in-Chief: Felix B. Tan, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand PAPER ONE MNEs and Information Management: Structuring and Governing IT Resources in the Global Enterprise M. Lynne Markus, Bentley University, USA Siew Kien Sia, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Christina Soh, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore This paper for the 20th anniversary issue of the Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM) looks back on the last ten years of research on two related areas highlighted in Tan and Gallupe’s (1999) manifesto for research on global information management in the decade ahead: global enterprise management and global management of information resources. In particular, the paper examines the relationship between the structure and governance of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and the structure and governance of IT resources in MNEs. Early IS research hypothesized alignment between enterprise organization structure and the structure of the IT function in high-performing organizations. However, research on “structure” in both MNEs and IT resources shifted to the concept of “governance”. This paper argues that IT organization design (structure and governance in combination) should be the focus of future research on IT resources management in MNEs. In addition, the paper argues that the relationship between MNE design and IT resources management is a critical topic. The paper examines three relationships among these two concepts: the contingency theory argument that IT resources management should follow and be aligned with MNE organization design, the universalistic argument that there is one best way to organize IT resources in MNEs, and the co-evolutionary argument that IT enterprise resources management design can lead, as well as follow, MNE organization design.

Fred Niederman, Saint Louis University, USA Hadi Alhorr, Saint Louis University, USA Yung-Hwal Park, Saint Louis University, USA Carri R. Tolmie, Saint Louis University, USA This study assesses the past decade in the GIM domain, based on Journal of Global Information Management (JGIM) research findings. Based on the issues addressed by these articles, the authors develop 11 topical categories and discuss each in terms of the accumulation of knowledge contributed by these findings. The authors also discuss for each topic possible extension and further understanding based on related research in international business. In consideration of the topics of these articles, a large number simultaneously addressing multiple topics and potential of explicitly linking these topics in future research are discussed. Additionally, the authors update prior quantitative analysis considering JGIM citations of key international business scholars, evolution of research methods, and levels of scope and analysis in these articles. Finally, the authors indicate gaps in the body of research within categories, when categories are considered in relationships, and when looking further from the perspective of recent IB research.

Checchi, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA Karen D. Loch, Georgia State University, USA Detmar W. Straub, Georgia State University, USA Galen R. Sevcik, Georgia State University, USA Peter Meso, Georgia Gwinnett College, USA While there is a fairly robust literature on information and communications technology (ICT) national policy, there are missing elements in the existing research. First, nation states at different stages of development are generally not considered in terms of what kind of ICT national policy is optimal. Second, a stakeholder perspective on the creation and implementation of the policy is typically absent. This theoretical paper attempts to fill these gaps by combining the idea of nations at different stages of development with stakeholder theory. The authors also integrate past thinking and research about information technology transfer, i.e., ICT outcomes, into a Stage-Stakeholder Model of ICT Policy. Directions for future research are proposed.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: VisualCol 2012 (1-week deadline reminder, submissions due Feb 5, 2012) Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:01:52 +0800 From: Robert Biuk-Aghai <Robert.Biuk-Aghai(a)acm.org> Organization: University of Macau To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Call for Papers and Participation International Workshop on Visualization and Collaboration (VisualCol 2012) As part of The 2012 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2012) May 21-25, 2012, The Westin Westminster Hotel, Denver, Colorado, USA Workshop website: http://cts2012.cisedu.info/2-conference/workshops/workshop-17-visualcol In Cooperation with ACM, IEEE, and IFIP Submission Deadline: February 05, 2012 Submissions could be for full papers, short papers, poster papers, or posters Brief Description: In many collaborative situations, multiple distributed users simultaneously interact with and analyse complex information while sharing their results with others. It is through such collaboration that multiple users bring their expertise to bear on a particular problem to analyse incomplete information and reach collaborative decisions. Such collaboration is far more effective when users collaborate by interacting with meaningful visualizations that accurately depict shared information. Visualizations must present information in a manner that is easily understood by individuals with different expertise and perspectives on the problem at hand. Users must be able to interact with the visualization to highlight or manipulate information in a natural way that is readily observed by other participants. At the same time it is also important to understand the collaborative processes that users in collaborative environments carry out, and the outcomes of these processes, particularly in large-scale collaborations such as wikis, blogs, micro-blogging (twitter, identica etc), social networking and other Web 2.0 collaborative environments. Visualizations of collaborative structures, processes and outcomes help researchers, site administrators and end-users to perceive such patterns that are otherwise difficult to perceive given the vastness of the information involved. This workshop on Visualization and Collaboration – to be held as part of the 2012 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and Systems (CTS 2012) – will have a dual focus on visualization and its role in collaboration, as well as visualization of collaboration. The objective is to highlight key issues and solutions for visualization in and of collaborative environments. We invite original contributions from researchers and practitioners in academia, government, and industry in this emerging visualization speciality. Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to): - Collaborative visualization architectures, technologies, or algorithms - Visualization for managing collaborative environments - Unique challenges in collaborative visualization - Collaborative visualization solutions and applications - Web-based collaborative visualization - Visualization in collaborative decision making and support - Collaborative data analysis and visualization - Visualization in/of Social Networks and Media - Visualization of collaborative structures, processes and outcomes of collaborative environments and social networks Important Dates: Paper Submission Deadline ---------------- February 05, 2012 Notification of Acceptance --------------- February 19, 2012 Registration& Camera-Ready Paper Due ---- March 01, 2012 Conference Dates: ------------------------ May 21 - 25, 2012 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: EDM 2012: The Fifth International Conference on Educational Data Mining Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2012 19:21:19 -0700 From: Osmar Zaiane <zaiane(a)ualberta.ca> Reply-To: zaiane(a)cs.ualberta.ca Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Apologies for multiple postings ============================================================ Call for Papers EDM 2012: The Fifth International Conference on Educational Data Mining 19-21 June 2012 in Chania, Crete, Greece http://educationaldatamining.org/EDM2012/ ============================================================ We invite submissions to the 5th International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM2012), to be held on 19-21 June 2012 in Chania, Crete, Greece. The EDM 2012 conference is organized under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society. The EDM 2012 conference is a leading international forum for high quality research that mines large data sets of educational data to answer educational research questions. These datasets may come from learning management systems, interactive learning environments, intelligent tutoring systems, or any system used in a learning context. EDM 2012 is a highly disciplinary conference that brings together researchers from computer science, machine learning and data mining, artificial intelligence in education, intelligent tutoring systems, education, learning sciences, psychometrics, statistics and cognitive psychology. The theme of the EDM 2012 conference is “From Data to Information: Empowering Learning Environments and Settings”. We particularly solicit submissions that describe how EDM approaches transform the educational setting and empirical studies. EDM may require adaptation of existing or development of new approaches that build upon techniques from a combination of areas, including but not limited to statistics, psychometrics, machine learning, information retrieval, recommender systems and scientific computing. EDM 2012 will immediately follow the Eleventh International Conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS 2012), 14-18 June 2012, at the same location. ================== TOPICS OF INTEREST ================== Topics of interest to the conference include, but are not limited to: - Generic frameworks, methods and approaches for EDM - Improving educational software. Many large educational data sets are generated by computer software. Can we use our discoveries to improve the software’s effectiveness? - Domain representation. How do learners represent the domain? Does this representation shift as a result of instruction? Do different sub-populations represent the domain differently? - Evaluating teaching interventions. Student learning data provides a powerful mechanism for determining which teaching actions are successful. How can we best use such data? - Emotion, affect, and choice. The student’s level of interest and willingness to be a partner in the educational process is critical. Can we detect when students are bored and uninterested? What other affective states or student choices should we track? - Integrating data mining and pedagogical theory. Data mining typically involves searching a large space of models. Can we use existing educational and psychological knowledge to better focus our search? - Improving teacher support. What types of assessment information would help teachers? What types of instructional suggestions are both feasible to generate and would be welcomed by teachers? - Replication studies. We are especially interested in papers that apply a previously used technique to a new domain, or that reanalyze an existing data set with a new technique. - Best practices for adaptation of data mining techniques to EDM, information retrieval, recommender systems, opinion mining, and question answering techniques ==================== SUBMISSION PROCESS ==================== All submissions should follow the ACM SIG KDD Explorations (All submissions should follow the ACM SIG KDD Explorations (Word, LaTex <.tex, .cls, example>). - Full papers (up to 8 pages). Should describe original, substantive, mature and unpublished work. - Short papers (4 pages). Should describe original, highly promising and unpublished work, whose merit will be assessed in terms of originality and importance rather than maturity and technical validation. - Posters and Demos (2 pages). Posters describe original and unpublished work in progress and last minute results. Demos describe educational data mining tools and systems, or educational systems that use EDM techniques. - Doctoral consortium (up to 3 pages). Should describe the graduate/postgraduate student’s research topic, proposed contributions, results so far, and aspects of the research on which advice is sought. Should be solely authored by the student. Submissions will be accepted through easychair (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=edm2012) Each submitted paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. Accepted papers will be published in the EDM2012 proceedings and will also appear online on this website. ================ IMPORTANT DATES ================ 5 February 2012, Abstract full and short paper submissions due 12 February 2012, Full and short paper submissions due 19 February 2012, Doctoral consortium submissions due 2 April 2012, Notification of acceptance (Full, short, doctoral consortium) 5 April 2012, Poster and demo submissions due 16 April 2012, Notification of acceptance (Posters and demos) 22 April 2012, Final papers due 19-21 June 2012, Conference days ======================= CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS ======================= Conference chair John Stamper, Carnegie Mellon University Program chairs Kalina Yacef, University of Sydney Osmar Zaiane, University of Alberta Poster and demo chairs Arnon Hershkovitz, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Michael Yudelson, Carnegie Mellon University Doctoral Consortium chairs Art Graesser, University of Memphis Zachary Pardos, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Web chair Michael Bett, Carnegie Mellon University Local Organization Kitty Panourgia, Neoanalysis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- & Scientific Director, (o o) Alberta Innovates Centre for Machine Learning ____oOO__(_)__OOo__________________________________________________________ Osmar R.

The good news is that the December issue has 10 articles rather than the more usual 5, and that this paves the way for a 20^th anniversary Special Issue of JSIS that is due for publication in March 2012. Our apologies to the authors of the papers concerned, who may nonetheless be pleased to see their work published six months earlier than expected! An announcement concerning the 20^th anniversary issue of JSIS will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
