-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS: Information Quality and Governance for Business Intelligence Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2012 09:02:19 +0000 From: William Yeoh <william.yeoh(a)deakin.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER PROPOSALS* *Proposal Submission Deadline: October 31, 2012* */Information Quality and Governance for Business Intelligence/* A book edited by Dr. John Talburt (University of Arkansas at Little Rock, USA) Dr. William Yeoh (Deakin University, Australia) Dr. Yinle Zhou (IBM Corporation, USA) To be published by IGI Global: http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/832 *Introduction* Although Business Intelligence (BI) applications have been dominating the technology priority list of many organizations, these efforts often fail to accomplish their objectives. In many cases the reason for the failure is directly attributable to the poor quality of the underlying information. Achieving and sustaining high-levels of information and data quality draws on knowledge and skills across a number of disciplines such as quality management, information technology, project management, and change management. At the same time a typical business intelligence initiative has to address a growing number of data and information quality conundrums including cross-functional information integration of data from disparate sources, the emergence of "big data" with its increasing volume, velocity, and variety, and the lack of effective information quality and governance strategies and policies. Information quality (IQ) is a body of knowledge and practice around realizing the maximum value from an organization's information assets by assuring that the information products produced from that information will meet the expectations of ("are fit for use by") the people and the system using them. Of these information products, perhaps none are more critical than Business intelligence (BI) applications. BI applications must deliver the right information, in the right format, to the right people at the right time for more informed decision making. The quality of BI output is directly related to the quality of the input data. Successful information quality and governance programs are fundamental to the success of any business intelligence initiative, especially those at the enterprise level. Unfortunately the information quality and governance capabilities in many organizations are not up to the levels needed to support their BI applications. Therefore, the goal of this book is to provide a collection of research papers and case studies that provide a road map to the best practices for information quality and governance to support business intelligence applications. *Objective of the Book* The mission of this book is to advance research and practice in the field of business intelligence and information quality. The book is a peer-reviewed publication dedicated to the exchange of the latest academic research on all aspects of practicing and managing information quality and governance for business intelligence in organizations. The book will publish original research and case studies by academic, business, and government contributors on strategies, practices, techniques, and technologies that advance the understanding and practice of information quality in support of business intelligence. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach to the examination of information quality for business intelligence. *Target Audience* The prospective audience of the book can be: ·Researchers interested in business intelligence and data/information quality; ·Business intelligence and information quality practitioners; and ·University students specialising in business intelligence, information quality or information systems. *Recommended topics* This book will focus on the interplay of data quality/information quality (DQ/IQ) and business intelligence (BI). Within the context of business intelligence, suggested topics include, but are not limited to: . Alignment of DQ/IQ with BI strategies . Applications of data quality/cleansing tools .

Please send to interested colleagues and students -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Deadline for submissions (1^st call extension): 30 November 2012 -- *IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE MOBILE LEARNING 2013* Lisbon, Portugal, 14 to 16 March 2013 (http://www.mlearning-conf.org/ <http://c.ss43.shsend.com/sendlink.asp?HitID=1352159734825&StID=1351&SID=0&N…>) ** Conference background and goals* *Free as Birds Learning in the Cloud* Mobile learning is concerned with a society on the move. 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).

Please send to interested colleagues and students.** -- CALL FOR PAPERS - Submission Deadline (1^st call extension): 30 November 2012 ************************************************************* *IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS 2013* March 13-15, 2013 – Lisbon, Portugal (http://www.is-conf.org/) ************************************************************* ** Keynote Speaker (confirmed):* Professor Richard Vidgen, Professor of Systems Thinking, Department of Management Systems, Hull University Business School, UK ** Conference background and goals * A new paradigm is sweeping the society, organisations and the business environment. In fact, society and business world alike are moving from its tangible bases to intangible ones based on knowledge and information systems (IS) to support its management, use and sharing. In this emerging paradigm, terms like information, communication, knowledge, and learning have acquired a critical relevance to the understanding of the nature of contemporary business. This led authors such as Drucker (1993) to state that “we are entering the knowledge society in which the basic economic resource… is knowledge”. In fact, since the mid-1980s, there has been a sudden avalanche of a new kind of vocabulary. Corporations, which so far had been economic entities, are being described as ‘information-based organizations’, ‘learning organizations’, ‘knowledge-creating companies’ or knowledge intensive organisations. Instead of product-market strategies, the fashionable business discourse invokes core competencies, intangible assets, knowledge-based capabilities, intellectual capital, knowledge management etc. Consequently, in this 21st century of ours, terms such as intellectual capital, knowledge management, and knowledge mapping have increasingly become part of the corporate landscape. However, none of this apparent revolution would be possible without the underlying technological support provided by IS. The IADIS Information Systems Conference (IS 2013) aims to provide a forum for the discussion of IS taking a socio-technological perspective. It aims to address the issues related to design, development and use of IS in organisations from a socio-technological perspective, as well as to discuss IS professional practice, research and teaching. ** Format of the Conference * The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in specific journals, and in the IADIS International Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems.

Fwd: [AISWorld] IT Artefact & practice theorizing – pragmatic perspectives (Sysiac Special Issue)
by Gustaf Neumann 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] IT Artefact & practice theorizing – pragmatic perspectives (Sysiac Special Issue) Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2012 09:14:36 +0000 From: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *IT Artefact & practice theorizing ? pragmatic perspectives*** */Last Call for papers to a Special Issue in Systems, Signs & Actions/* *Theme*** There is a growing recognition among information systems scholars that IT artefacts should not be black-boxed as mere technical objects (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001). IT artefactsare instruments for work and communication embedded in their social context. The social, organisational and linguistic characteristics of IT artefacts should be acknowledged as well as their technical and material nature. In their seminal article, Orlikowski & Iacono (2001) raised a call for theorizing the IT artefact. They outlined alternative views of the IT artefact and proposed an ensemble view. As responses to their call, several views of the IT artefact have been presented (e.g. Ågerfalk, 2003; Sein & Harindranath, 2004; Alter, 2006; Markus & Silver, 2008; Matook & Brown, 2008; Sjöström, 2010; Strong & Volkoff, 2010). An improved understanding of IT artefacts is needed in relation to their design, use and evolution. The importance of IT artefact theorizing for design is shown by Sein et al (2011). They build their method for Action Design Research explicitly on the ensemble view from Orlikowski & Iacono (2001). An improved understanding of the context of IT artefacts is needed as well. There is a growing interest to theorize the context as practices (Feldman & Orlikowski, 2011; Goldkuhl, 2011) or work-systems (Alter, 2006). This includes an interest in the combined social and material characteristics of such practices (Orlikowski & Scott, 2008). The orientation of practice theorizing in IS follows a general ?practice turn? in social science (e.g. Schatzki et al, 2001; Reckwitz, 2002; Whittington, 2006; Miettinen et al, 2009; Gherardi, 2009). The claims for theorizing IT artefacts as socially embedded instruments for work and communication and for theorizing the artefact?s context as practices can be seen as elements of a pragmatic re-orientation in IS. Statements for such a pragmatic re-orientation can be found in Goles & Hirschheim (2000), Baskerville & Myers (2004), Ågerfalk (2010) and Goldkuhl (2012). This special issue is based on the International workshop on IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Intervention (www.vits.org/?pageId=381 <http://www.vits.org/?pageId=381>) held in Barcelona on June 10, 2012. Papers from this workshop as well as other papers that address the theme of this special issue are welcome. Inquiries and submissions should be sent to the editors of this special issue. *Special Issue Editors * Brian Donnellan, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Ireland (Brian.Donnellan(a)nuim.ie) Göran Goldkuhl, Linköping University (goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se <mailto:goran.goldkuhl@liu.se>) *Systems, Signs & Actions* Systems, Signs & Actions (www.sysiac.org) is an open access journal in information systems especially devoted to the study of information technology, action, communication and workpractices. *Schedule* Submissions are expected not later than November 30, 2012.
