The Journal is a high quality refereed journal that seeks support from academicians, industry experts and specific government agencies. The JIPS focuses on publishing articles that address the paradoxical nature of privacy versus security amidst current global conditions. It is increasingly important that various constituents of information begin to understand their role in finding solutions to achieve a delicate balance between security and privacy. The JIPS will facilitate understanding of the information assurance technical framework as it pertains to government agencies, companies and individuals. The topics may include the information privacy and security issues pertaining to initiatives on counter-terrorism efforts around the world, the impact of U.S. federal regulation and compliance issues facing global corporations, the impact of privacy and security initiatives within small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and e-gambling. Article submissions are encouraged from both academics and practitioners. Each issue will include high quality articles from academics and practitioners, case studies, book reviews, and industry interviews. The Journal addresses issues of privacy and security from a global perspective and will consider articles with a cross-functional focus. The Journal will include articles in the following areas: - Information Assurance frameworks - Network security and impact on corporate infrastructure - Privacy laws and impact on information compliance issues - The duality of privacy and security and impact on corporate operations - Governmental regulations and changes on information security requirements - Data transfer issues across nations, states, and corporations - Privacy and security requirements in B2B and B2C information flows - Cross-functional aspects of information assurance and requirements faced by various business functions within companies - Web sites, portals and the issue of trust - Information privacy and security as it relates to end-users - Applications and case studies in privacy and security issues facing business organizations, government agencies and individuals - Emerging topics such as biometrics, software utilities, and IT obligations and how they change the business environment Review Process Each article will be blind-reviewed by three members of the editorial review board. Reviewer recommendation will be considered by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. For a revision and rewrite, a revised paper will be sent to one of the Editors for final approval. The final decision will be made by the Editor-in-Chief.

24 Jan '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS Human-Centered System Design for Electronic Governance Datum: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 08:30:18 -0600 Von: Chris Reddick <Chris.Reddick(a)utsa.edu> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: January 30, 2012 Human-Centered System Design for Electronic Governance A book edited by 1Saqib Saeed, 2Christopher G. Reddick 1University of Siegen, Germany, 2 University of Texas at San Antonio, USA To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/authorseditors/authoreditorresources/callforbookc… Introduction E-Government projects are a huge undertaking and require serious political commitment, clear vision and robust long-term strategy. The successful realization of such projects in practice requires appropriately design technology infrastructure. Higher failure rate in technology adoption has highlighted that human factors are an important aspect when designing and implementing e-government projects. In order to foster successful usage, technologies need to be consistent with human practices. Failure to design e-government technologies properly can lead to project failure, which can represent a substantial cost for governments and loss of confidence by users in these systems. Objective of the Book The objectives of the proposed book are twofold: (i) to invite ideas, suggestions and recommendations and publish high quality contributions examining the inherent issues, technology design implications, user experiences and guidelines for technology appropriation and (ii) to invite case studies to publish and disseminate best practices employed by organizations, project managers and practitioners in the field of e-government. The aim is to provide opportunities for discussion of implications and dissemination of best practices that will be useful or of interest to academics from a range of fields including information systems, human computer interaction, computer supported cooperative work, organizational science, public administration, and political science as well as for government officials and governmental organizations. Target Audience The book will be helpful for students and researchers working in the domain of Information systems. Furthermore government officials working to devise IT strategy and solutions for e- governance are also potential readers. This book will also be helpful for those that want to learn about the design of information systems in the context of e-government, from a human centric approach. University libraries will be especially interested in purchasing this textbook, since it will provide cutting edge research on the design of e-government systems for a user-centric perspective. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * Case studies and user experiences with e-government infrastructures * Technology infrastructure and citizen engagement * ICTs and community empowerment * Digital divide and e-government adoption * E- government project management approaches * Best practices and opportunities for technology design * ICTs and e-democracy * Impact of ICT in governmental, nongovernmental and public communication * Technology management practices in government, nongovernmental and community settings * Limitations, challenges and barriers to ICT adoption for government * Enabling technologies for e-government implementation * Mobile technology and e-government * Web 2.0 (Blogs, wikis, social networking websites) and e-government * Digital divide and e- government adoption * Metrics and Benchmarking to measure e-government success * Economic, ethical, security, privacy and legal issues Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before January, 30, 2012, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by February 15, 2012 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by May 15, 2012.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] MCIS 2012: CfP - Enterprise engineering Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:32:44 +0100 From: Wolfgang Molnar <wolfgang.molnar(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: jose.tribolet(a)inesc.pt, Dr Khaled Gaaloul <Khaled.Gaaloul(a)tudor.lu>, Hans.Mulder(a)ua.ac.be Call for Papers 7th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems Track: Enterprise engineering http://www.kmowl.org/mcis/ September 8-10, 2012, Guimarães, Portugal Deadline for paper submissions: March 9th, 2012 Track description Enterprise engineering (http://www.ee-team.eu/enterprise-engineering) is the general term for an engineering based approach to architect, transform or develop gradually enterprises. Enterprise engineering is based on rationales of how an enterprise wants to use its organizational socio-technical systems, such as business processes and information systems. This track is looking for contributions that describe appropriate approaches and methodologies to align business and IT, support the design and architecture of an enterprise, help in governance and evolution of an enterprise, contribute in implementation of methods and other instruments for enterprises. Moreover, contributions providing guidance in assessing maturity and quality of an enterprise will be appreciated. Submitted research papers (full or research in progress) and posters should present practical and theoretical insight of how an adequate coordination through enterprise engineering may be conducted. Research context may give an understanding of how enterprises need to negotiate many challenges, such as changes in the economic climate, mergers, acquisitions, innovation, novel technologies, et cetera. Within this context, research contributions may involve the development of new, appropriate theories, models, methods, and other instruments for the analysis, design, implementation, evolution and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant aspects of) management and organization science and information systems science. Therefore, the Enterprise engineering track may involve the presentation of a wide range of issues that involve organization science and information systems science. We encourage both, researchers and practitioners to share their insight in following topics: Topics to be included ? Theories about enterprise engineering ? Models of enterprise engineering ? Frameworks, methods and other instruments of enterprise engineering analysis ? Design and architecture of enterprise engineering ? Emergent techniques in enterprise engineering ? Evaluation of enterprise engineering aspects (e.g. Business / IT alignment) ? Outsourcing of business and/or IT processes ? Implementation of methods and other instruments during enterprise engineering ? Social and organisational aspects of enterprise engineering ? Technical aspects of enterprise engineering ? Evolution of enterprises through engineering ? Change management in enterprises ? Governance aspects of enterprise engineering ? Maturity, measurement and quality of enterprise engineering ?

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] CFP: IDA 2012: Intelligent Data Analysis Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:28:21 +0100 From: "F. Höppner" <f.hoeppner(a)ostfalia.de> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> [We apologize if you received multiple copies] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CALL FOR PAPERS The Eleventh International Symposium on Intelligent Data Analysis (IDA 2012) October 25-27, 2012, Helsinki, Finland http://ida2012.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * When the IDA symposium series started in 1995, it focussed on the problem of end-to-end intelligent support for data analysis. In 2010, the IDA symposium re-focussed to support papers that go beyond established technology and offer genuinely novel and "game-changing" ideas, whilst not always being as fully realised as papers submitted to other conferences. IDA 2012 continues this approach and will include an important and still emerging class of problems: the analysis of data from networked digital information systems such as mobile devices, remote sensors, streaming applications (e.g. Twitter), etc. The IDA symposium seeks "first look" papers that might elsewhere be considered preliminary but contain potentially high impact research. The IDA symposium, which is A-ranked according to ERA, is open to all kinds of modelling and analysis methods, irrespective of discipline. It is expected to be an interdisciplinary meeting that seeks abstractions that cut across domains. IDA 2012 welcomes papers that focus on dynamic and evolving data, models, and structures and the analysis of data from digital environments. FRONTIER PRIZE In line with the theme of IDA 2012, the IDA Frontier Prize will be awarded to the most visionary contribution. Submissions considered for this award must present novel and surprising approaches to data analysis. The award consists of a plaque and a prize of 1000 Euros. CALL FOR PAPERS IDA solicits papers on all aspects of intelligent data analysis, including papers on intelligent support for modelling and analyzing data from complex, dynamical systems. IDA 2012 particularly encourages papers about: - Novel applications of IDA techniques to, e.g., digital environments - Novel modes of data acquisition and the associated issues - Robustness and scalability issues of intelligent data analysis techniques - Visualization and dissemination of results Intelligent support for data analysis goes beyond the usual algorithmic offerings in the literature. Papers about established technology will only be accepted if the technology is embedded in intelligent data analysis systems, or is applied in novel ways to analyzing and/or modelling complex systems. The conventional reviewing process, which favours incremental advances on established work, can discourage the kinds of papers that IDA 2012 hopes to publish. The reviewing process will address this issue explicitly: referees will evaluate papers against the stated goals of the symposium, and any paper for which at least one program chair advisor writes an informed, thoughtful, positive review will be accepted irrespective of other reviews. The proceedings of IDA 2012 will appear in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. For more details on submission and review process, see the IDA webpage at http://www.ida2012.org or contact the program chairs. IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submissions: 12 May, 2012 Author notification: 14 July, 2012 Camera-ready papers due: 11 August, 2012 Conference dates: 25-27 October, 2012 ORGANIZATION General Chair: Jaakko Hollmen, Aalto University, Finland Program Chairs: Frank Klawonn, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Germany Allan Tucker, Brunel University, United Kingdom Poster Chair: Frank Hoppner, Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, Germany Frontier Prize Chairs: Elizabeth Bradley, University of Colorado, United States Joao Gama, University of Porto, Portugal

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP: 1st International Workshop on Learning Analytics and Linked Data
by Gustaf Neumann 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: 1st International Workshop on Learning Analytics and Linked Data Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:47:35 +0100 From: Jelena Jovanovic <jeljov(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS 1st International Workshop on Learning Analytics and Linked Data (#LALD2012) in conjunction with the 2nd Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK?12) 29.04. - 02.05.2012, Vancouver (Canada). Jointly organized by the http://linkededucation.org initiative and the EATEL SIG dataTEL (http://bit.ly/datatel). Workshop website: http://lald.linkededucation.org/ Submission deadline full and short papers: 14.03.2012 Submission deadline extended abstracts : 10.04.2012 ************************************************ SCOPE The main objective of the 1st International Workshop on Learning Analytics and Linked Data (#LALD2012) is to connect the research efforts on Linked Data and Learning Analytics to create visionary ideas [a] and foster synergies between both young research fields. Therefore, the workshop will collect, explore, and present datasets, technologies and applications [b] for Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) to discuss Learning Analytics approaches which make use of educational data or Linked Data sources. During the workshop, an overview of available educational datasets and related initiatives will be given. The participants will have the opportunity to present their own research with respect to educational datasets, technologies and applications and discuss major challenges to collect, reuse and share these datasets. BACKGROUND In TEL, a multitude of datasets exists containing detailed observations of events in learning environments [c]that offer new opportunities for teaching and learning. The available datasets can be roughly distinguished between (a) Linked Data - Open Web Data and (b) Personal learning data from different learning environments. Open Web data covers educational data publicly available on the Web, such as Linked Open Data (LOD) published by institutions about their courses and other resources; examples include (but are not limited to), The Open University (UK), the National Research Council (CNR, Italy), Southampton University (UK) or the mEducator Linked Educational Resources. It also includes the emergence of LD-based metadata schemas and TEL-related datasets. The main driver in the adoption of the LOD approach in the educational domain is the enrichment of the learning content and the learning experience by making use of various connected data sources. Personal learning data from learning environments originate from tracking learners? interactions with tools, resources or peers[d]. The main driver for analyzing these data is the vision of personalized learning that offers potential to create more effective learning experiences through new possibilities for predicting and reflecting the individual learning process. To this end, Learning Analytics can be seen as an approach which brings together two different views: (i) the external view on publicly available Web data and (ii) an internal view on personal learner data, e.g. data about individual learning activities and histories. Learning Analytics aims at combining these two in a smart and innovative way to enable advanced educational services, such as recommendation (a) of suitable educational resources to individual learners, (b) peer students or external expert to cooperate with. TOPICS The workshop is looking for contributions touching the following topics. Educational (Linked) Data - Evaluating, promoting, creating and clustering of educational datasets, schemas and vocabularies - Use of LOD for educational purposes - Feasibility of standardization of educational datasets to enable exchange and interoperability - Sharing of educational datasets among TEL researchers Data Technologies: - Technologies for the exploration of educational datasets, i.e., for filtering, interlinking, exposing, adapting, converting and visualizing educational datasets - Real-world applications that show a measurable impact of Learning Analytics - Real-world educational applications that exploit the Web of Data - Tools to use and exploit educational Linked Open Data[e] - Innovative TEL applications that make large-scale use of the available open Web of data Evaluation of Technologies and Datasets: - (Standardized) evaluation methods for Learning Analytics - Descriptions of data competitions Privacy and Ethics: - Policies on ethical implications of using educational data for learning analytics (privacy and legal protection rights) - Guidelines for the anonymisation and sharing of educational data for Learning Analytics research SUBMISSION The workshop is looking for different types of submissions. We accept regular full paper (8-14 pages), short paper (4-6 pages). Moreover, we are interested in anonymized datasets that can then be openly used in evaluating TEL recommender systems. Above all, we encourage you to demonstrate your data products and tools even if they are in a premature state. Datasets and demonstrations should be submitted together with an extended abstract submissions (up to 2 pages). For all paper submissions we require formatting according to the Springer LNCS template http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0 Submission will be available through the conference management tool ginkgo: http://ginkgo.cs.upb.de/events/lald12 All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the program committee for originality, significance, clarity, and quality. Final versions of accepted submissions will be published in the CEUR-WS.org workshop proceedings and most promising contributions will be invited to the 2nd Special Issue on dataTEL at the International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning (IJTEL). In addition, the authors are asked to contribute short summaries of their submissions to the dataTEL group space at TELeurope to encourage early information sharing and discussion also with third persons.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP 13th IFIP Working Conference on VIRTUAL ENTERPRISES (PRO-VE 2012) Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:32:48 +0000 From: Lai Xu <laixu(a)acm.org> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org C A L L f o r P A P E R S PRO-VE’12 (http://www.pro-ve.org/) 13th IFIP Working Conference on Virtual Enterprises Bournemouth, UK, 1-3 October 2012 Important dates Main conference: Abstracts submission: 28 Feb 2012 Full paper submission: 15 Apr 2012 Acceptance notice: 10 May 2012 Camera ready submission: 31 May 2012 Applied developments/Industry track: Short abstracts submission: 17 Jun 2012 Extended abstracts submission: 31 Jul 2012 Collaborative Networks in the Internet of Services Recent developments under the umbrella of Future Internet offer new concepts and mechanisms to support a new generation of advanced collaborative networks. Particularly relevant is the consolidation of the Internet of Services and its associated infrastructures and related concepts such as service ecologies and service parks. Complementarily, recent progress on Cyber Physical Systems induce new virtualization possibilities for resources and capabilities, leading to notions of Industrial Internet, Sensing Enterprise, Internet of Events, etc. Moving from services, provided by a single entity, to more complex or integrated multi-stakeholder services calls for new approaches in dynamic service composition aimed at effective support of the “collaboration” perspective. This is a fundamental step in reducing the gap between the notions of software service, technical service, and business service. Collaborative Networks not only benefit from such new possibilities, these provide some fundamental elements supporting the structural and behavioural models, value systems and value creation, and the business perspective of collaborative networks. On the other hand, development of the so-called Services Science adds clarification to the semantics of the service concept in which context synergies with collaborative networks need to be further explored. The accumulated body of empiric knowledge and the size of the involved research community in Collaborative Networks provide the basis for leveraging the potential of new concepts and mechanisms in addressing big societal challenges and consolidating the scientific discipline on “Collaborative Networks”. Such discipline is strongly multidisciplinary and thus PRO-VE Working Conference is designed to offer a major opportunity to mix contributions from Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Managementl and Socio-Human communities. The main theme of PRO-VE’12 focuses thus on crucial aspects to empower Collaborative Networks as a main actor of change in society. PRO-VE, as the most focused scientific / technical conference in the area, offers a major opportunity for the presentation and discussion of both latest research developments and industrial practice case studies. Following the IFIP international mission, the PRO-VE conference offers a forum for collaboration among different regions of the world. This conference continues a series of successful conferences of PRO-VE’99 (Porto, Portugal), PRO-VE 2000 (Florianópolis, Brazil), PRO-VE’02 (Sesimbra, Portugal), PRO-VE’03 (Lugano, Switzerland), PRO-VE’04 (Toulouse, France), PRO-VE’05 (Valencia, Spain), PRO-VE’06 (Helsinki, Finland), PRO-VE’07 (Guimarães, Portugal), PRO-VE’08 (Poznan, Poland), PRO-VE’09 (Thessaloniki, Greece), PRO-VE’10 (St. Etienne, France), and PRO-VE’11 (S. Paulo, Brazil). TOPICS A plurality of scientific communities in Computer Science, Engineering, Economics, Management and Socio-Human sciences are encouraged to submit.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP AMCIS 2012: Mini-Track on Business Applications, Value, and Opportunities in Virtual Worlds Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:17:01 +0000 (GMT) From: Vikas Jain <jain_vikas12(a)yahoo.co.uk> Reply-To: Vikas Jain <jain_vikas12(a)yahoo.co.uk> To: ISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012* * *Call for Papers: Mini-Track on Business Applications, Value, and Opportunities in Virtual Worlds** * * * Track: Virtual Worlds ** *Description:* The 3D and interactive web environment of virtual worlds is generating significant interest among individuals and businesses alike. Virtual worlds are targeted to different audiences, ranging from kids and teenagers to people in their 50s. Some virtual worlds are more popular than the others, and some virtual worlds provide high tech gaming options while some others offer interactive classes, dances, and club memberships. Virtual worlds are also emerging as a channel for businesses to recruit potential employees or conduct business. Some of these virtual worlds are beginning to incorporate real-worldgoods and services, interactive shopping, customer support, education, and /participation-by-proxy/in directions few have yet considered. However, it is still not clear whether virtual worlds are here to stay or it is just one of those phenomena that will fade over time. There are a number of unaddressed issues that need attention from the research community such as what real value virtual worlds provide or what the social and cultural impacts of virtual worlds are. While it cannot be denied that virtual worlds hold a lot of potential but there is a need to examine what kind of opportunities are being enabled by virtual worlds, what challenges virtual worlds are facing today, and what opportunities they promise for the future. There is also a need to examine value and impact of virtual worlds today from different perspectives and chart the road map for the future. The objective of this mini-track is to provide a forum for discussion and presentation of original research highlighting value and opportunities associated with virtual worldsâ?? evolution and adoption across multiple fields. We seek papers that address value proposition of virtual worlds from a theoretical, conceptual, or empirical perspective. Both quantitative and qualitative studies on virtual worlds are welcome. Suggested topics: Topics that are of interest to this minitrack include, but are not limited to: * Value in adoption of virtual worlds * Measurement frameworks for value of virtual worlds * Economic and social impacts of virtual worlds * Cultural impacts and consequences of virtual worlds * Fun and entertainment value of virtual worlds * Success stories about use of virtual worlds * Business and commerce opportunities in virtual worlds * Case studies documenting impact of virtual worlds * Value of virtual worlds for universities * Opportunity for virtual commerce (v-commerce) through virtual worlds * Future opportunities enabled by virtual worlds * Challenges in virtual worlds development and maintenance *Mini-track Chair(s):* ** *Vikas Jain*, Email: vjain(a)ut.edu Department of Information and Technology Management John H Sykes College of Business, University of Tampa, Tampa, FL, USA ** *Raymond Papp*, Email: rpapp(a)ut.edu Department of Information and Technology Management John H Sykes College of Business, University of Tampa, Tampa, FL, USA Important Dates: * AMCIS 2012 starts accepting manuscript submissions: January 03, 2012 * Submission deadline: March 01, 2012 * Acceptance decision notification: April 06, 2012 * Camera Ready paper is due: April 25, 2012 Submit your manuscripts at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Conference website: http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ ---- <http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/> <http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/> Vikas Jain, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Information and Technology Management John H.
