-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2013 CFP: IT Project Management Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 12:31:30 -0500 (EST) From: Michael A Chilton <mchilton(a)ksu.edu> Reply-To: Michael A. Chilton <mchilton(a)ksu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *AMERICAS CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS - AMCIS 2013* August 15-17, 2013 Chicago, Illinois *TRACK* - IT Project Management *MINI-TRACK - _Resource Leveling: Problems and Solutions_* *Call for Papers* One factor that affects all project management endeavors is the constraint imposed by limited resources.Extensive research in the past 10 to 15 years has been devoted to this problem and a plethora of software tools are available with features devoted to resource leveling, but scheduling projects under the condition of limited resources is still a huge problem.Scholars have devise algorithms and heuristics to assist the problem of scheduling under the constraint of limited resources, but many of these studies apply only to simple projects that are restricted by a number of simplifying assumptions.PERT/CPM techniques identify a critical pathâ??a set of tasks that if any single task is delayed will delay the entire project.But is the critical path worthy assumes that unlimited resources are available.And so, is it worthy of the attention it has been given?According to Herroelen and Leus (2005, p. 102), perhaps not: â??This â??critical pathâ?? notion indeed invites project managers to become trapped in the erroneous belief that the critical path determines the duration of the project, the misconception that the critical path activities are always the ones that require the most attention during planning and that effective project control implies that management should invariably concentrate their control efforts especially on the critical path activities during project execution.â?? To address this problem, the critical chain was developed, based on the Theory of Constraints, which states that a system must have at least one constraint affecting its throughput.Still falling short of expectations, especially where determination of slack is concerned, the critical sequence was developed to help identify those activities that were critical and calculate exactly which activities had slack and how much. Research is needed in this area to find solutions that practitioners can use to better estimate and (hopefully) to shorten project duration, and to make changes along the way as needs and the availability of resources change during the life of a project.This is even more important given that most IT shops are involved in several projects simultaneously. We solicit papers that deal with these and other topics of project management as they relate to resource leveling, assignment and scheduling.The focus of this mini-track is on the allocation and scheduling of resources to tasks within a multi-project IT shop. *Suggested Topics* * The effects of changing resource availability * Resource conflict resolution * Comparison of scheduling methods: o Critical Path Method (CPM) o Critical Chain o Critical Sequence * Scheduling algorithms and/or optimization routines * Unpublished heuristics * Using simulation to replicate the effects of scheduling and schedule changes * Software tools & resource allocation/leveling * Handling under- or over-allocated resources * The effect of prioritizing on resource allocation * Resource allocation in small & medium businesses * Decisions regarding resource allocation when scheduling serial or parallel tasks * Other topics as appropriate *Submisssions* Manuscripts to be submitted through the Bepress system at http://amcis2013.aisnet.org <http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/> *Important Dates* â?¢ February 22, 2013: Paper Submission Deadline 11:59 PM CST â?¢ April 22, 2013: Program Chairs Notify Authors of Paper Acceptance â?¢ May 9, 2013: Camera-ready Copy of Accepted Papers Due *Mini-track Chair:* Michael A.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Volume 4, Issue 4 of AIS Transactions on HCI Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:39:12 -0500 From: Galletta, Dennis <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Announcing the Publication of Volume 4 Issue 4 of /AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction/ (http://thci.aisnet.org) We proudly announce the current issue of /AIS Transactions on HCI, /which completes the fourth volume. THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library (*_http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci_*). To increase awareness and readership, /THCI/ is still freely available to everyone during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website, <http://aisel.aisnet.org/> including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS <http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the journal. We are also pleased to announce that we are continuing in our efforts to obtain indexing for our journal. Indexing a journal provides many benefits and recognizes the ability of the journal to attract good work from authors for a sustained period of time, and the quantity of submissions has enabled us to publish on time for all 16 issues. ================== In this issue ================== Paper #1: Audience Gatekeeping in the Twitter Service: An Investigation of Tweets about the 2009 Gaza Conflict /K. Hazel Kwon, Onook Oh, Manish Agarwal, and H. Raghav Rao/ There are few papers that are more timely than this one that involves social networking, news propagation, and social change. The study examines the information dispersed on Twitter during the 2009 Israel-Gaza conflict, and explores the impacts of pre-existing hyperlinks on Twitter users' information selection. The findings revealed the importance of a small number of prominent websites, high importance of existing hyperlinks, and high importance of social media channels, which grew as the conflict entered later stages. An important implication is that the power of Twitter users' gatekeeping "may diminish the authority of traditional organizations...as a primary information delivery system" (p. 224). Also, it appears that rather than media fragmentation, social media seems to lead to media concentration. Paper #2: Augmented Sustainability Reports: A Design Science Approach Michael Freundlieb and Frank Teuteberg Another very timely concern of firms is that of sustainability. At the same time, MIS people have a unique perspective on a firm, and are quite likely to be one of the few units that can examine how the very disparate economic, social, and ecological goals are addressed and balanced by management. This paper examines how to augment sustainability reports with multimedia contextual information that changes depending on the position that captures a user's attention (indicated by mouse position). The researchers developed and tested a prototype, and found that their prototype was strongly preferred by subjects to the conventional PDF-based report, even though the content was equivalent in each format. ================== Call for Papers ================== /THCI/is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. As an AIS journal, /THCI/ is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities. Topics of interest to /THCI/ include but are not limited to the following: * The behavioral, cognitive, motivational and affective aspects of human and technology interaction * User task analysis and modeling; fit between representations and task types * Digital documents/genres; human information seeking and web navigation behaviors; human information interaction; information visualization * Social media; social computing; virtual communities * Behavioral information security and information assurance; privacy and trust in human technology interaction * User interface design and evaluation for various applications in business, managerial, organizational, educational, social, cultural, non-work, and other domains * Integrated and/or innovative approaches, guidelines, and standards or metrics for human centered analysis, design, construction, evaluation, and use of interactive devices and information systems * Information systems usability engineering; universal usability * The impact of interfaces/information technology on people's attitude, behavior, performance, perception, and productivity * Implications and consequences of technological change on individuals, groups, society, and socio-technical units * Software learning and training issues such as perceptual, cognitive, and motivational aspects of learning * Gender and information technology * The elderly, the young, and special needs populations for new applications, modalities, and multimedia interaction * Issues in HCI education The language for the journal is English. The audience includes international scholars and practitioners who conduct research on issues related to the objectives of the journal. The publication frequency is quarterly: 4 issues per year to be published in March, June, September, and December. The AIS Special Interest Group on Human-Computer Interaction (SIGHCI, http://sigs.aisnet.org/SIGHCI/) is the official sponsor for /THCI/. ==================================================================== Please visit the links above or the links from our AIS THCI page <http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci/> for details on any emerging special issue calls that will be announced in the future.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Contents of Vol. 10, No. 4 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI journal) Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2012 11:22:24 +0800 From: Maiga Chang <maiga.igibook(a)gmail.com> Reply-To: Maiga Chang <Maiga.IGIBook(a)gmail.com> To: <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> [Apologies if you receive multiple times, please circulate this to your colleagues who might be interested, thank you so much.] [This email includes the table of contents of Vol. 10, No. 4 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI journal) and the general call for papers of IJDET] ------- Annoucement of the publication of Vol. 10, No. 4 of IJDET (an EI journal)----------- http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-distance-education-… We are glad to announce the publication of Vol. 10, No. 4 of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET, an EI journal). In this issue, eight papers are included: Improving Learning Object Quality: Moodle HEODAR Implementation (pages 1-16) Carlos Muñoz, Francisco J. García-Peñalvo, Erla Mariela Morales, Miguel Ángel Conde, and Antonio M. Seoane Automation toward efficiency is the aim of most intelligent systems in an educational context in which results calculation automation that allows experts to spend most of their time on important tasks, not on retrieving, ordering, and interpreting information. In this paper, the authors provide a tool that easily evaluates Learning Objects quality by students and teachers and calculate a set of relevant information which main objective is to improve the contents. The job focuses on the definition, implementation, and installation of a Learning Object evaluation tool in a LMS environment. Firstly other similar tools are analyzed and the best theoretical evaluation method to be used in the tool is selected. In this case, an evaluation model called HEODAR (Herramienta de Evaluación de Objetos de Aprendizaje) is implemented. Finally, the produced tool is installed in Studium, the University of Salamanca official campus, based on Moodle. Test results are populated to clarify and confirm the consecution of tool implementation objectives, facing a new approach for the tool including intelligent capabilities to improve tool characteristics. http://www.igi-global.com/article/improving-learning-object-quality/73930 Integrating an Educational Game in Moodle LMS (pages 17-25) Miroslav Minovic, Miloš Milovanovic, Jelena Minovic, and Dušan Starcevic The authors present a learning platform based on a computer game. Learning games combine two industries: education and entertainment, which is often called “Edutainment.” The game is realized as a strategic game (similar to Risk™), implemented as a module for Moodle CMS, utilizing Java Applet technology. Moodle is an open-source course management system (CMS), which is widely used among universities as an eLearning platform. Java Applet enables development of rich-client applications which are executed in web browser environment. During the game, players receive questions from specified Moodle quiz, and all answers are stored back into Moodle system. Students can later verify their score and answers, and examine the test that they actually worked on during the game. This system supports synchronous as well as asynchronous interaction between players. http://www.igi-global.com/article/integrating-educational-game-moodle-lms/7… Using Simulation for Enhanced Accounting Learning: A Case Study (pages 26-43) Pedro Sá Silva, António Trigo, and João Varajão The increasing focus of government institutions, such as the Tax Administration or Social Security, e-government has introduced a new paradigm that is the obligation of fulfilling obligations to these institutions through online channels. In the case of tax compliance by businesses, there is another requirement, only authorized persons, such as chartered certified accountants, can interact with the system of e-government. The latter requirement precludes the students of accounting and business management, some of them future chartered certified accountants, to get to know the system. This inability lead to the idea of ??creating applications (simulators) that mimic the official e-government applications for use in educational environment. This paper presents the developed VAT form submission process simulator and a case study of its application in Coimbra Institute of Accounting and Administration (ISCAC) to assess its effectiveness in practice. The results of experimentation show that simulators of official e-government applications, such as VAT Simulator, are extremely helpful in the process of learning e-government official tools, without taking risks. http://www.igi-global.com/article/using-simulation-enhanced-accounting-lear… Higher Education Scenario from a Cross-Cultural Perspective: eLearning Implications (pages 44-55) Enric Serradell-López, Pablo Lara-Navarra, and Cristina Casado-Lumbreras Higher education institutions are crucial in the present. Universities play a role that varies with time and evolves with society. Globalization is changing the world and affecting higher education institutions in all their intrinsic characteristics: personnel, programs, infrastructures and students. Analyzed is the relevant research on cultural dimensions and applies it to higher education institutions focusing the analysis of the impact on eLearning setups. To do so, variables related to organizational strategy, design of curricula and teaching tools are proposed and analyzed from a set of cultural dimensions. Results show that higher education institutions are facing big challenges in their adaptation to multi-cultural arrangements. http://www.igi-global.com/article/higher-education-scenario-cross-cultural/… Adaptive Assessments using Open Specifications (pages 56-71) Héctor Barbosa León, Francisco J. García-Peñalvo, María José Rodriguez-Conde, Erla M. Morales, and Patricia Ordóñez de Pablos Evaluation is a key element in formal education processes; it must be constructed in a way that the item questions within help students understand by adapting them to the learning style as well. The focus of the present research work specifically in the convenience to adapt an associated multimedia material in each single question besides the traditional adaptation process based on the level of difficulty established for an item; all this in order to increase the final test score of the student. The proposed approach tries to solve this by designing and constructing an authoring tool to construct adaptive objective tests and an a prototype test to evaluate if a test that looks to adapt a multimedia content to the learning style could help to increase cited score of the student. The results are significant because it is able to conclude that adapted test based on the student´s learning style slightly increased the final score. http://www.igi-global.com/article/adaptive-assessments-using-open-specifica… Wikis in Collaborative Educational Scenarios: Integrated in LMS or Standalone Wikis? (pages 72-81) Marc Alier Forment, Xavier De Pedro, Maria Jose Casañ, Jordi Piguillem, and Nikolas Galanis This article outlines a set of features that wiki engines require to successfully host collaborative educational scenarios. The authors explore multiple issues that deal with the use wikis with learning activities. One of the first issues to solve is software support for assessment methodologies. The second is choosing between using an integrated wiki engine inside the Learning Management System (LMS) or an external standalone wiki engine. Advantages and disadvantages from both options of this second issue are discussed. The different implications of each option as far as individual student assessment, feedback, and grading are concerned are also analyzed. Among the expected results, the most notable are incentives to incorporate wikis in the teaching process, significant enhancements in usability, as well as allowing teachers to provide more timely written feedback on their students’ individual contributions on wiki based activities, on top of the usual numerical grading. This paper presents the conclusions of 5 years of experience of work in the field of wikis in education, development of improvements on open source wiki engines and thus, building from scratch accordingly the new wiki engine for the LMS Moodle 2.0. http://www.igi-global.com/article/wikis-collaborative-educational-scenarios… A System for Governmental Virtual Institutions based on Ontologies and Interaction Protocols (pages 82-95) Cláudia J. Abrão de Araújo, and Flávio S. Corrêa da Silva The authors believe that the adoption of virtual worlds is suitable for electronic government applications as it can increase the capillarity of public services, facilitate the access to government services and provide citizens with a natural and immersive experience. They present a Government Virtual Institution Model (GVI) for the provision of public services that satisfies relevant issues such as: adaptability to different citizen education level and to heterogeneous government systems; alignment with government services requirements related to security, privacy, reliability and scalability; and government interoperability requirements. The model of the GVI, the government services and the information flow across the GVI are formally described using the JamSession platform (Correa da Silva, 2011). The model of the GVI uses an architecture based on governmental patterns (including ontologies for information representation) to deal with the connections to the governmental systems, and 3D virtual world simulation systems to interact with citizens. http://www.igi-global.com/article/system-governmental-virtual-institutions-… The Effects of Online Interactive Games on High School Students' Achievement and Motivation in History Learning (pages 96-105) Kuan-Cheng Lin, Yu-Che Wei, and Jason C. Hung Many studies demonstrate that Digital Game Based Learning (DGBL) can foster learning effect. The purpose of this study is to survey whether the online game in junior high school students can encourage learning effect in Taiwan's History. So, the research applied Interactive Game-based Learning System (IGLS) to junior high history teaching as an ancillary tool to enhance users' learning motivation and academic performance. After a four-week experiment conducted on eleven students, the paired sample t test analysis considerably impact on experimental group to significance .05, and one-way ANCOVA showed login IGLS the number of days every week more learning effect to be better. Besides, questionnaires exhibited that IGLS not only magnetized over ninety percent of students’ participation but invigorated their learning will. The research presents positive result on enhancing students’ learning motivation and academic performance. http://www.igi-global.com/article/effects-online-interactive-games-high/739… ------- General Call for Papers for IJDET (an EI journal)----------- The electronic version of this cfp can be seen at http://maiga.athabascau.ca/editors/IJDET-Call_for_Papers-General.pdf International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET) (http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-distance-education-…) The International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET) is a forum for researchers and practitioners to disseminate practical solutions to the automation of open and distance learning.

Reviews completed on a rolling basis) The nature and scope of the Information Security field has evolved over the past several years. No longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic and we tend to consider all aspects of information protection as central to the field of security. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues. Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals and case studies are invited. All submissions are peer reviewed and automatically considered for publication in the Journal of Information System Security (http://www.jissec.org) and in special issues of other major publications. Editors/AEs of other major journals are also in attendance to advise authors as to how their papers could be formulated for possible submission to any of the basket of AIS journals (European Journal of Information Systems, Information Systems Journal, Information Systems Research, Journal of AIS, Journal of MIS, MIS Quarterly, Journal of Strategic Information Systems, Journal of Information Technology) among others.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP AMCIS 2013 Minitrack "Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements" Datum: Sat, 22 Dec 2012 18:12:08 +0100 Von: Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 19th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2013) Minitrack: "Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements" (http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62…) August 15-17, 2013, Chicago, Illinois, USA (http://amcis2013.aisnet.org <http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/>) ************************************************ *************************** Deadline for paper submissions: February 22, 2013 ============================================ More information: http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=84… Minitrack Description ================== Research into knowledge management (KM), organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in todayâ??s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and thus are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiativesâ?? success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measure this success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring KM, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based initiatives. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ======================================= * Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems * Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance * Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success * Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives * Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements * Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge management/organizational memory systems * Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge management performance * Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success * Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their theoretical basis to facilitate the value of knowledge-based initiatives * Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing knowledge-based initiatives Minitrack Co-Chairs ================= Murray E.
