The diversity of culture and the dispersion over time and space require novel techniques, tools, and practices from many disciplines to overcome challenges and to take advantage of all the opportunities that global software engineering offers. The 8th International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE) brings together researchers and practitioners interested in solving the challenges of globally distributed teams. The ICGSE 2013 organizing committee invites academic and industrial communities to contribute to the expertise of the international global software engineering. Practice: Global Software Engineering addresses real-world challenges, and so we especially seek industry knowledge. We invite industrial participants to share observations and experiences in the conference by publishing papers and making presentations. Industrial experiences can be submitted by means of a half-page abstract. Research: We also invite academic researchers to submit papers discussing GSE research and GSE education strategies. Papers presenting empirical evidence connecting industry and research are encouraged and will be given preference over systematic literature reviews and systematic mapping studies. ********************** * Topics of interest * ********************** Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: - Strategic issues in distributed development: business models (offshoring, nearshoring, outsourcing etc.), business case development, work distribution models, supplier selection and management, cost-benefit-risk analysis - Managing distributed software development: planning, team building, project and SLA management, managing diversity, measurements and evaluation - Methods and tools for distributed software development: requirements engineering, design, coding, verification, testing and maintenance - Communication, coordination and collaboration - Knowledge management in distributed development - Getting started with global software engineering - Empirical studies of distributed teams and lessons learnt - Processes and methods for the global environment (planned, agile etc) - Global software development education Authors of selected high-quality papers will be invited to submit an expanded version for a special section on Global Software Engineering in the Empirical Software Engineering Journal, published by Springer.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP Special Issue: Journal of Information Technology and Development Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:39:16 -0400 From: Niki Kunene <niki.kunene(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org **** ** *Call for Papers* // /Special Issue of the Journal of/ *INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FOR DEVELOPMENT*** * ?**Organizational ICT Issues in Developing Economies**?*** ** The objective of this special issue is to provide a forum for research focusing on the organization as central to the analysis and understanding of information and communication technologies (ICT) implementation and use in developing economies. The adoption of ICT by organizations can have a significant impact on economic development in these economies. Research focusing on ICT within an organizational context in these economies is still scarce. ?Developing economies are defined by low gross national income per capita and are generally characterized by low standards of living,a weak industrial and commercial base, and a poor infrastructure? [1].These economies are also marked by relatively slow and unpredictable changes in laws and regulations, and a management outlook that is adept at the reallocation of resources [1]. The unique business environment in these economies influences the nature of design, implementation and use of ICT. We seek papers that explore issues related to the innovative design, implementation and use of ICT in organizations in developing economies, focusing on how these may differ from experiences in developed economies. Submitted work will be evaluated for methodological soundness, empirical completeness and academic rigor as well originality and interestingness. Topic areas include, but are not limited to the list below. ** *Suggested topics:* §Institutional, cultural, economic, social and other factors influencing the design, implementation and use of ICT in developing economies §Organizational considerations in ICT development and application in developing economies §Organizational considerations in the application of ICT in specific industries (e.g. healthcare) in developing economies §Issues in the implementation and use of enterprise systems in developing economies §Country specific organizational case studies, with specific reference to the issues differentiating developed and developing economies §Global supply chain management in developing economies as compared to developed economies §Issues in the implementation and useof knowledge management systems in developing economies §Impact of ICT on organizational learning §Managing ICT projects in organizations in developing economies §Issues in e-commerce in developing economies §Comparative cross-country research, comparing organization ICT design, use or implementation in developing and developed economies ** *Important dates:* Deadline for submissions of paper: March 1, 2013 Notification of initial acceptances: May 30, 2013 Deadline for revised papers: July 15, 2013 Notification of final acceptances:August 31, 2013 Deadline for final versions:September 30, 2013 Tentative Publication date:December 2013 *Instructions for authors:* The ideal length of submissions is 7500 words including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references, but if justified, shorter or longer manuscripts will be considered.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue on Open and Linked Data - TGPPP Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2012 10:30:35 +0000 From: Yannis Charalabidis <yannisx(a)epu.ntua.gr> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers: Special Issue on Open and Linked Data for Science and Society Transforming Government: People, Process & Policy (TGPPP) - Emerald Publications Introduction Transforming Government: People, Process & Policy (TG:PPP) ? Transforming Government publishes leading scholarly and practitioner research on the subject of transforming Government through its people, processes and policy. Unique and progressive in its approach, the journal seeks to recognise both the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives of e‐Government, and welcomes both pure and applied research that impacts central and local Government. International perspectives ar e also welcome. The journal is also interested in exploring how research carried out in the private sector can be applied to the public sector as a means of improving efficiency and effectiveness. The journal is in its sixth year of publication. Special Issue Scope Open government data provide an unprecedented opportunity for societies to move towards transparency, evidence-based decisions, enhanced cohesion, public engagement and trust. Public Sector Information (PSI) may be offered as ”open and linked data” in many forms and through different media: from simple datasets describing traffic or unemployment, to web services linking and mashing information from different sources, to interactive visualization of complex phenomena, to citizen-based data gathering and transmission. In this way, data can be made available to scientists, citizens and enterprises, who in turn can use this for developing and offering value-adding services, thus forming a network or ecosystem around publicly available open data. All these developments require a solid base of empirical investigations, forward-looking positions, conceptual frameworks, methods, tools and services to be made available towards scientific, entrepreneurial and citizen communities. Coverage This Special Issue of TGPPP Journal solicits original high quality papers presenting theoretical frameworks or technical approaches to open and linked data that depict sound positions and views for advancing the provision, usage and final utilization of open data by scientists of all scientific domains, citizens and businesses. Topics of interest in this area include, but are not limited to: ? Justification of requirements for public sector information, orienting from any scientific domain ? Examples and best practices of open data utilization for policy-making and scientific purposes ? Visionary ideas on open data utilization within society ? Metadata schemas for open and linked data management ? Methods and tools for open data acquisition, curation, management and publication ? Methods and tools for integrating and combining open data from distributed heterogeneous sources ? Methods and tools for combining linked open data with in-house or open structured information systems in the ‘deep web’ ? Information systems and services for open data gathering and provision ? New approaches for public sector information visualization ? Collaborative governance approaches involving the use of open data ? Open data and citizen participation in information gathering / crowdsourcing ? New governance and business models for open data “ecosystems” ? Legal provisions and open issues at national and European level, regarding re-use of governmental data ?

I apologize for any cross-postings. Best regards, Erwin Folmer University of Twente ===================================================================== Call for Papers ===================================================================== International IFIP Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability IWEI 2013 27-28 March 2013, Enschede, The Netherlands http://www.iwei.eu Organised by IFIP Working Group 5.8 on Enterprise Interoperability In cooperation with INTEROP-VLab ===================================================================== THEME "Information, Services and Processes for the Interoperable Economy and Society" The ability to collaborate becomes increasingly a critical success factor for a sustainable economy and society. Therefore, information, services and processes of enterprises should be designed and implemented accordingly, to enable easy and flexible interoperability. This poses important challenges, including achieving societal acceptance, embedding in real-world practices, overcoming differences between collaboration partners, exploiting opportunities, adapting to change, and providing open solutions on top of various technologies. The IFIP International Working Conference on Enterprise Interoperability (IWEI) is part of a series of conferences, which are organized by the IFIP TC5 Working Group 5.8 on Enterprise Interoperability. The IWEI series of conferences aim at identifying and discussing challenges and solutions with respect to enterprise interoperability, both at the business and the technical level. Since 2007, three IWEI conferences have been held in Munich (2007), Valencia (2009) and Stockholm (2011), and a next one is planned to take place in September 2012, in Harbin, China. IWEI 2013 is the 5th IWEI conference, this time organized in Enschede, The Netherlands. This conference focuses on information, services and processes for the interoperable economy and society, and the corresponding enterprise interoperability challenges in the light of technology developments including the Future Internet. The conference seeks to promote the development of a scientific foundation for enterprise collaboration and interoperability; an architectural and methodological framework for addressing interoper-ability challenges from different viewpoints and at different levels of abstraction; new business and IT approaches for enterprise interoperability; methods and models to evaluate interoperability solutions; and practical solutions of enterprise interoperability. ===================================================================== TOPICS OF INTEREST Original submissions, with explicit contributions to enterprise interoperability, are invited from both researchers and practitioners in the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics: - Knowledge-oriented business collaboration; - Interoperability service utility; - Science base for enterprise interoperability; - Future Internet enterprise systems; - Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and enterprise interoperability; - Interoperability through service discovery and composition; - Orchestration of services; - Mediation between services; - Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and enterprise interoperability; - Model Driven Interoperability (MDI); - Computation-independent interoperability models; - Platform-independent interoperability models; - Model-to-model transformations; - Cloud Computing; - Other reference models and architecture approaches; - Open Distributed Processing (ODP) and enterprise interoperability; - Enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling; - Business ecosystem modeling & simulation - Middleware and infrastructure approaches to facilitate and enhance interoperability; - Business-IT alignment for interoperability; - Reference ontology and mapping mechanisms; - Self-organisation and adaptation for interoperability; - Semantic annotations for information interoperability; - Coordination and negotiation in networks of businesses; - Cross-organizational business processes; - Maturity models and quality criteria for evaluating interoperability solutions; - Modelling, analysis and validation of interoperability; - Non-functional aspects of interoperability, such as privacy, QoS, and reputation; - Interoperability requirements, approaches and solutions in specific sectors; - Case studies and experience reports on interoperability solutions. ===================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission due: November 2, 2012 Notification to authors: December 14, 2012 Camera ready due: January 4, 2013 Conference: March 27-28, 2013 ===================================================================== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The conference welcomes submissions of full papers (8 to 14 pages long) and position papers (around 4 pages).
