Thus, ontologies and semantics are being used in different fields such as Semantic Web, e-Business, information integration, data mining, database design, etc. But its use can be extended beyond information systems and can be applied in networked systems. In these systems ontologies can provide the basis for the automation of information exchanges, dynamic configuration of systems, detecting attacks into the systems, reasoning on behaviour and context that allow dynamic and context-aware applications, etc. The purpose of this special collection is to collect innovative and high-quality research contributions regarding the role played by ontologies and semantics in networked systems. This special collection aims to explore the synergies between these technologies and give insights on the recent advances in these topics by soliciting original scientific contributions in the form of theoretical and experimental research and case studies. TOPICS In this special collection we welcome contributions on the following topics (but are not limited to): * Design and modeling of ontologies for different kind of networked systems: - Web services -(Secure) computer networks and distributed systems - Context-aware applications - Architectures of networked services - Online communities - Grid services - E-government/e-business/e-commerce systems - Recommender systems for networked applications * Ontologies for networked system interoperability * Ontology for semantic Web services composition * Applications, evaluations, and experiences with ontologies and semantics in the following kind of networked systems: - E-business systems - E-governement systems - Collaborative systems - Multimedia communications - Secure and private communications - Context-aware systems * Ontological and semantic evaluation of networked systems * Editing tools for ontologies for networked systems * Usability and user interaction with semantic technologies in networked applications IMPORTANT DATES Deadline for submission of papers: 31 October 2012 Authors to receive a 1st decision by: 30 January 2013 Final notification of acceptance: 31 March 2013 On-line and print publication: (subject to JRPIT Schedule) SUBMISSIONS Papers will be evaluated based on their originality, presentation, relevance and contribution to the field of ontologies and semantics in networked systems, as well as their suitability to the special collection, and for their overall quality. Contributions are accepted for review on the understanding that the same work has not been published and that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Substantially revised (minimum 30% of new content) versions of papers published in conference proceedings can also be submitted. In this case, the original paper should also be enclosed.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR)
by Gustaf Neumann 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR) Datum: Mon, 08 Oct 2012 08:41:35 -0500 (CDT) Von: In Lee <I-Lee(a)wiu.edu> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of E-Business Research (IJEBR) Special Issue On: Social Commerce: Development and Management Submission Due Date: 12/31/2012 Introduction Since late 2008, social commerce has emerged as a new model of e-commerce and has provided a new way of accessing customers for merchants. The rapid growth of social commerce is in part driven by Web 2.0, which shifted the business environment from business-oriented to user-oriented. There are many innovative ways to develop social commerce. For example, social commerce intermediaries such as Groupon and LivingSocial not only provide information reach and richness to customers, but also make use of social networking sites (e.g., Facebook and Twitter) and various merchant reputation sites (e.g., Yelp and TripAdvisor). Because social commerce is such a recent development, there is still a paucity of studies on the social, behavioral, economic, and managerial aspects of social commerce. This makes it very challenging for business organizations to make informed decisions in regard to social commerce adoption/implementation. Objective This special issue seeks to foster a scientific understanding of social commerce, provide a timely publication of current research efforts, and forecast future trends in the social commerce area. This special issue is concerned not only with individual customers and customer groups, but also with the social, organizational, and technological aspects of social commerce. Recommended Topics Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: • Conceptual frameworks for understanding social commerce • Design of social commerce networks • Economic, social, and cultural issues of social commerce • Factors influencing adoption of social commerce • Merchant reputation systems and social commerce • Pricing strategies for social commerce intermediaries • Security and privacy in social commerce • Social commerce and advertising • Social commerce and network externalities • Social commerce business models • Social commerce for governments • Social commerce for large enterprises • Social commerce for small and medium-sized enterprises • Social commerce in franchising • Social commerce intermediaries and value networks • Social commerce management • Social mobile services • Social software for social commerce • Strategies for social commerce development • Theories in social commerce • Trends in social commerce • Trust, loyalty, and adoption in social commerce • User generated content Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this fast track special theme issue on Social Commerce: Development and Management on or before December 31, 2012. All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. INTERESTED AUTHORS SHOULD CONSULT THE JOURNAL’S GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS at http://www.igi-global.com/Files/AuthorEditor/guidelinessubmission.pdf.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP Service Engineering and Service Management (ECIS 2013 Track) Datum: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 08:49:35 +0000 Von: Böhmann, Tilo <Tilo.Boehmann(a)uni-hamburg.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> * Apologies for cross-posting * Call for Papers Service Engineering and Service Management (ECIS 2013 Track) Sponsored by AIS SIG Services Track Chairs Tilo Böhmann, University of Hamburg, Germany, tilo.boehmann(a)uni-hamburg.de <mailto:tilo.boehmann@uni-hamburg.de> Tuure Tuunanen, University of Jyväskylä, Finland, tuure(a)tuunanen.fi <mailto:tuure@tuunanen.fi> Description An increasing number of activities of public and private organizations are engineered and managed as services, often creating a new potential for economic growth and welfare through innovation and productivity gains. This development is mirrored in the domain of information systems. This becomes evident in developments to use service as the organizing logic for providing IS, in the use of service as an architectural paradigm (SOA), and in the development of internet-based service infrastructure for processes, applications, and infrastructure. Moreover, the increasing amalgamation of IS-enabled corporate and consumer services create substantial opportunities to create novel IS-enabled business services. The information systems discipline thus needs to advance research on phenomena related to IS as a service and IS-based services. Researchers and practioners alike suffer from a lack of theory-rooted knowledge for developing, engineering and managing such services as well as leveraging IS for business service innovation. At the same time, the success of services challenge established concepts of the IS discipline, such as the clear separation between corporate IS and consumer IS or internal IS and external services. Service-focused research in IS thus need to create and refine concepts, models, methods, and systems to reflect these developments. Service research and service science span several disciplines, such as marketing, operations management, innovation management, engineering, computer science, and IS. Research on service engineering and management thus learns from and contributes to a wider research discourse. Moreover, the move into services is a global phenomenon and increasingly a global marketplace that calls for relevant and rigorous research that reaches across geographical and disciplinary boundaries. The track welcomes empirical, theoretical and design work on IT-enabled services as full research papers and research in progress papers. Methodologically and epistemologically, the track is open to all approaches and perspectives. Topics of interest The track seeks to attract research from a diversity of research paradigms in three areas: 1) Rethinking IS as service: - IT service management and service capability management - Service governance, risk, and compliance - Service architecture and modularity - Service lifecycle management - Service portfolio management - Service requirements management - User-generated services 2) Leveraging IS for value creation with service: - IS and service business model innovation - Data-driven services - (Consumer) information services - Mobile services 3) Theorizing service beyond IS: - Contributions to interdisciplinary service science research from an IS vantage point - Service systems - Reference models / meta models of service(s) / Service ontologies - IS and value co-creation/resource integration Associate Editors Angela Lin, University of Sheffield, UK Anu Bask, Aalto University, Finland Axel Korthaus, Victoria University, Australia Babis Theodoulidis, Manchester Business School, UK Christoph Riedl, Harvard University, USA Daniel Beverungen, ERCIS Münster, Germany David Tilson, Rochester University, USA Eusebio Scornavacca, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Fons Wijnhoven, University of Twente, Netherlands Fu-Ren Lin, National Tsinghua University, Taiwan Jan Marco Leimeister, University of Kassel, Germany Jorge Cardoso, University of Coimbra, Portugal Kathrin Möslein, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany Rikard Lindgren, Chalmers University, Sweden Roman Beck, University of Frankfurt, Germany Stephen Kwan, University of San Jose, USA Virpi Tuunainen, Aalto University, Finland Yong Jin Kim, Sogang University, South Korea Important dates (in line with all ECIS tracks) - Submissions open: October 1, 2012 - Submission deadline: December 7, 2012 (strict and only deadline!) - Notification of acceptance: February 28, 2013 - Conference: June 5-8, 2013, Utrecht, The Netherlands Formatting and Submission Authors should submit to the track that best fits the research.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] SmartGridSec12 - First Open EIT ICT Labs Workshop on Smart Grid Security Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2012 19:00:04 +0200 From: NICS Lab <nicscfp(a)gmail.com> To: IEEE ComSoc Internet Technical Committee <itc(a)comsoc.org>, IETF Internet Privacy Discussion List <ietf-privacy(a)ietf.org>, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org First Open EIT ICT Labs Workshop on Smart Grid Security SmartGridSec12 Berlin, December 3rd, 2012 Call for Contributions (Talks and Poster Presentations) >> Forward to colleagues who may be interested. << General Information The First Open EIT ICT Labs Workshop on Smart Grid Security, an activity of the action line smart energy systems of the EIT ICT Labs, will be held at the EIT ICT Co-Location Centre Node Berlin, alongside the 2012 Berlin IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Conference, on December 3rd, 2012. The Co-location Centre (CLC) is inside the campus of TU Berlin, in the heart of the city's west - a hotspot where education, research and industry, see http://eit.ictlabs.eu/ictlabs/ nodes-co-location-centres/berlin/. SmartGridSec12 is also co-sponsored by the Network of Excellence on Engineering Secure Future Internet SW, NESSoS, www.nessos-project.eu/ Context and Motivation The need for a reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy supply is steadily increasing. The Smart Grid is proposed as an innovative, flexible, adaptable system which revolutionizes the current interconnection architecture and creates new services and offering new management and business opportunities for many stakeholders. Real-time communication between the consumer and the utility will allow the consumer to optimize local energy production, storage and usage; power will flow in different directions, depending on where generation takes place; buildings will actively participate of in the grid as consumers, producers, and energy storage facilities; electro-cars can be charged during low-demand periods and used as short-term energy storage. Components will communicate with each other and will provide operational and nonoperational information to users and administrators. This will require the use of global communication networks, like the Internet, and will open the door to conventional hacking and to cyber attacks. Not only will it be necessary to carefully assess the threads and risks, but also to have a consensus on the definition and implementation of measures and mechanisms to cope with them, or to recover from them. The infrastructure, workflows, processes and systems must be protected against unauthorized modification, required information should be accessible in the right place at the right time, the sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) related to the consumption of energy, the location of the electric car, but also confidential business information etc must remain secure from unauthorized access. There is a clear need in Europe to integrate the fragmented research and development efforts in securing the Smart Grid. This workshop will be a venue to share and consolidate results, plan joint work, and create networks to accomplish these ambitioned goals. Program Committee welcomes proposals for contributions on any topics related to: - Attackers, Threats, Risk Analysis - Security of Smart Grid protocols - IDS / IPS / SIEM for Smart Grids / SCADA systems - Security related Smart Grid test beds and simulators - Security for long term deployment - Securing the Smart Grids from the business and market perspective: Products, Stakeholders, Models - Cross organizational security aspects - Real-time monitoring and recovery - Privacy issues - Standardization - Certification, Regulatory issues Program Chairs: Joël Chinnow (DAI) Jorge Cuellar (Siemens) Program Committee: James Weimer (KTH) Matthias Hollick (TU Darmstadt) Steffen Fries (Siemens) Karsten Bsufka (DAI) Submissions Full paper submissions, extended abstracts and short papers are welcome. Full papers are limited to 5-10 pages, while extended abstracts and short papers should be 2-5 pages long. The authors of extended abstracts should submit a full version to be published in the postproceedings. Short papers can be presented as poster presentations.

In particular, with the study of “…how the mobility of learners augmented by personal and public technology can contribute to the process of gaining new knowledge, skills and experience” (Sharples et al. 2007). A growing understanding of the learning and instructional affordances of mobile technologies (alongside technological developments), have enabled the design and investigation of mobile learning experiences across contexts and dimensions of mobile learning. For instance, the literature in the field is rich in studies which investigate how learners move physical locations, utilising several devices/technologies, interacting with various social networks (perhaps across formal and informal learning settings), as they pursuit a learning path or event. There is much appreciation of learning principles, such as contextual, situated, augmented and collaborative among others, particularly suited to mobile learning. There is a well of studies reporting on how these principles can be best applied in the field. There are also always new technologies being implemented in the context of mobile learning for example, ‘smarter’ phones, e-readers, tablet and augmented reality applications. However, the evaluation of mobile learning is an area that has lagged behind. The mobile nature of mobile learners and the application of traditional evaluation strategies and tools, have often limited the scope of investigation to what can be observed by researchers or captured by external recording devices (such as video or sound). Thus, a challenge remains to understand what happens while learners are on the move. The advent of cloud computing and learning analytics offer potential for exploring innovative mobile learning experiences and alternative evaluation strategies which may in turn, shade light into what learning happens in the move. The IADIS Mobile Learning 2013 International Conference seeks to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of mobile learning research which illustrate developments in the field. ** Format of the Conference *The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book and CD-ROM with ISBN, and will be available also in the IADIS Digital Library (accessible on-line). Authors of the best published papers in the Mobile Learning 2013 proceedings will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in the "International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (ISSN: 1941-8647)"and also in other selected Journals. The conference proceedings will be submitted for indexing to INSPEC, EI Compendex, Thomson ISI, ISTP and other indexing services. ** Types of submissions* Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. ** Topics* We invite researchers, practitioners, developers and all those working in the mobile learning arena to submit work under the following topics: •Learning analytics and mobile learning •Cloud computing and mobile learning •Pedagogical approaches, modelsand theories for mLearning •mLearning in and across formal and informal settings •Strategies and challenges for integrating mLearning in broader educational scenarios •User Studies in mLearning •Learner mobility and transitions afforded by mlearning ·Socio-cultural context and implications of mLearning ·Mobile social media and user generated content •Enabling mLearning technologies, applications and uses •Evaluation and assessment of mLearning •Research methods, ethics and implementation of mLearning •Innovative mLearning approaches •Tools, technologies and platforms for mLearning •mlearning: where to next and how? ** Important Dates:* - Submission Deadline: 29 October 2012 - Notification to Authors: 28 November 2012 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration: Until 21 December 2012 - Late Registration: After 21 December 2012 - Conference: Lisbon, Portugal, 14 to 16 March 2013 ** Conference Location* The conference will be held in Lisbon, Portugal. ** Secretariat* IADIS Secretariat - IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE MOBILE LEARNING 2013 Rua Sao Sebastiao da Pedreira, 100, 3 1050-209 Lisbon, Portugal E-mail: secretariat(a)mlearning-conf.org <mailto:secretariat@mlearning-conf.org> Web site: http://www.mlearning-conf.org/ ** Program Committee* Mobile Learning 2013 Program Chair Inmaculada Arnedillo Sánchez, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Mobile Learning 2013 Conference Chair Pedro Isaías, Universidade Aberta (Portuguese Open University), Portugal Committee Members: * * for committee list please refer to http://www.mlearning-conf.org/committees ** Co-located events* Please also check the co-located events: e-Society 2013 (http://www.esociety-conf.org/) - 13-16 March 2013 Information Systems 2013 (http://www.is-conf.org/) - 13-15 March 2013 * Registered participants in the Mobile Learning’ conference may attend e-Society and Information Systems conferences’ sessions free of charge. powered by <http://c.ss40.shsend.com//home/r.asp?SID=0&G=2> subscribe <http://c.ss40.shsend.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&HitID=13492…> forward forward <http://c.ss40.shsend.com/forward.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&EmailID=1033291&HitI…> unsubscribe <http://c.ss40.shsend.com/RWCode/subscribe.asp?SiteID=1351&SID=0&Email=neuma…> This mailing system may only be used for sending permission based email.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for minitrack proposals for the IS Philosophy Track at AMCIS 2013 Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2012 17:49:19 -0500 From: Nik R Hassan <nhassan(a)d.umn.edu> To: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> IS Philosophy Track AMCIS 2013 Philosophy for a Hyperconnected World Â The IS Philosophy track at AMCIS has always been a popular track for attendees. The IS Philosophy track is accepting proposals for Minitracks. The theme for AMCIS 2013 is *Hyperconnected World: Anything Anywhere Anytime*. Â Following the spirit of the theme, it would not be too difficult to imagine the opportunities and philosophical problems a hyperconnected world presents. To submit a minitrack proposal,*Â *you must send in a) minitrack chairs (names, emails, affiliation); b) minitrack title; c) short description of minitrack for the AMCIS 2013 website (up to 150 words); d) call for papers for your minitrack to: http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013_minitracks/. The deadline for proposal submissions is October 18, 2012. THAT'S ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY! Information about minitracks is available at http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=84…. Â The IS Philosophy track description is provided below Track Chairs: Â Nik Hassan, University of Minnesota Duluth,Â nhassan(a)d.umn.edu <mailto:nhassan@d.umn.edu> Â Alan Litchfield, Auckland University of Technology,Â alan.litchfield(a)aut.ac.nz <mailto:alan.litchfield@aut.ac.nz> Track Description: Â As a field of research, Information Systems (IS) can no longer be regarded as a fresh poppy in the domain of scientific research, and the time has passed where IS ought to have built a solid core of theory (Litchfield, 2012). This stance is supported by Lakatos (1970) who says: in any field of research, terms must be agreed to from a hardened core around which theories can be established, providing a buffer against attack and where weak theories are tested and fail without harming the field itself. For example, Schneberger and Wade (2010) list some 74 theories that have their roots in human related activities from sociology, economics, and politics, to computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics. Of those, what are the criteria for determining core theory? Â The Philosophical Perspectives in IS track provides a forum for scholars to discuss and reflect on the present state of IS research and its future prospects. We invite papers that discuss philosophical aspects of the IS field from all IS domains, and from all angles and levels of inquiry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * The relevance of philosophy to the IS field * Reviews and redefinitions of philosophy in specific domains (e.g. philosophy of IS education, philosophy of human computer interaction, philosophy of IS development, philosophy of IS security, etc.) * Critical evaluations of the metaphysical, ontological, epistemological and axiological foundations of IS research methods * Identifying novel research philosophies and thus research approaches, methods and perspectives for the IS field * In the age of the global village, hyperconnected, socially-networked society, and organizations without boundaries, what shape will the IS field take and how will its status as a reference discipline shift? * How might we approach both information sharing and data protection from a variety of philosophical approaches? For example, is the disruptive force of WikiLeaks more beneficial or harmful to societies as a whole? * Applications of specific philosophical theories or methods (such as phenomenology, hermeneutics, critical realism, and others) * Sociomaterial philosophy and methodology * Philosophical issues in quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods * Ethical and normative issues * New approaches to advance IS identity and relevance *Important Dates* October 1, 2012: Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Submit minitrack proposals to Bepress (submission system)â?¨ October 18, 2012: Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Minitrack proposals dueâ?¨ November 19, 2012: Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Revised Minitrack proposal dueâ?¨ January 4, 2013: Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2013 beginâ?¨ To view the full schedule of activities for minitrack chairs, visit: http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53… <https://owa.northumbria.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://amcis2013.ai…> -- Nik R.
