-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: EC-TEL 2013 -- 8th European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning Datum: Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:23:41 +0100 Von: <derntl(a)dbis.rwth-aachen.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-posting) ======================================================================== Call for Papers: EC-TEL 2013: Eighth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning "Scaling Up Learning for Sustained Impact" 17-21 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus http://ec-tel.eu/ ======================================================================== The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) is a unique opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field. Through EC-TEL, established and emerging researchers as well as practitioners, entrepreneurs, and technology developers explore new collaborations, strengthen networks, and complement their core experience. While Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has created enormous changes in schools, universities and at the workplaces, innovations have tended to be unsustainable. Too often, initiatives need a high degree of effort to be sustained, and are consequently endangered when funding stops. Many initiatives now focus on scaling up bottom-up initiatives to create higher and more sustainable impact. These initiatives require an interdisciplinary perspective in TEL research and development, drawing on core disciplines of Computer Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social Science. This blend of research traditions has always been a strength of EC-TEL and its vibrant community. We invite contributions for demonstrations, workshops and project meetings, as well as original research papers. A doctoral consortium will also be organized concurrently with the workshops. See the website for more details: http://ec-tel.eu/ Note: the European Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (eCSCW) conference will be hosted from 21-25 September at the same location as EC-TEL 2013. So there is a good opportunity to visit both conferences at the same time. IMPORTANT DATES * Papers, posters, demonstrations abstracts: 25 March 2013 * Papers, posters, demonstrations full submissions: 2 April 2013 * Papers, posters, demonstrations acceptance notifications: 4 June 2013 * Camera ready versions: 28 June 2013 * Room reservation deadline for project meetings: 15 June 2013 (On-site meeting rooms available 16-18 & 21 September 2013) * Workshop proposals: 2 April 2013 * Workshop acceptance notification: 30 April 2013 * Workshops: 17, 18, 21 September 2013 * Main conference: 18-20 September 2013 SUBMISSION FORMATS Submissions will be handled through EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ectel2013). All papers will be reviewed through a non-blind review process. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Proceedings will be published by Springer within their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series which is ranked in the ISI Web of Knowledge.

All accepted demonstrations will be invited to participate in the EC-TEL 2013 Demo SLAM session. The audience will vote for the best EC-TEL prototype in this session and the winner will be awarded. We encourage demonstration submissions that complement an EC-TEL research paper submission. POSTERS Posters report on significant work in progress. We are planning an interactive poster and demonstration session in which you can present your work and elicit feedback from EC-TEL participants. WORKSHOPS EC-TEL 2013 offers the opportunity to host several workshops. Parties interested to organize a workshop are asked to submit a proposal of maximum 4 pages long outlining the theme of the workshop, workshop format, expected participants and domains addressed, dissemination activities, workshop organizing committee, and organizational requirements. Proposals should be submitted via the EasyChair system of EC-TEL. We are exploring possibilities for arranging publication of all workshop papers in a post-conference proceedings volume to be published by Springer. Workshop organizers should indicate in their proposals whether they would like to contribute to such a post-conference proceedings volume, or whether they are targeting other high-quality publication outlets such as international peer-reviewed journals. PROJECT MEETINGS In addition to the regular sessions and workshops, EC-TEL offers a unique opportunity for European Projects in TEL to hold face-to-face meetings. Please contact the local organization chair at your earliest convenience to book meeting rooms. DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM In contrast to regular conference papers, doctoral consortium submissions should address specifically PhD student work. All submissions will be reviewed after acceptance by at least two senior researchers and one of the accepted doctoral candidates. Additionally, two discussants, members of the doctoral consortium committee, will be appointed to each paper. Discussant comments will be followed by a plenary discussion of the paper.

Information systems have been described as a panopticon - a mechanism of surveillance that exposes the most minute details of people's actions and achievements at work. People are said to react to such a level of surveillance through anticipatory conformity, whereby ?the behavioural expectations of [managers] can be so keenly anticipated by [employees] that the foreknowledge of visibility is enough to induce conformity to [?] normative standards?{Zuboff, 1988 #209: 345}. In many cases this is an all too accurate description of the challenges of working in jobs where information systems are at the same time the means that people use to work and the means that managers use to monitor that work. However, the theories that have been used to specify the role of information systems as mechanisms of control has emphasized the agency of employees in reproducing the conditions necessary to make their work visible. Foucault wrote that, "He who is subjected to a field of visibility, and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the constraints of power; he makes them play spontaneously upon himself; he inscribed in himself the power relation in which he simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the principle of his own subjection." Giddens argued that "all forms of dependence offer some resources whereby those who are subordinate can influence the activities of their superiors" {Giddens, 1989: 16}. Introducing technology between controller and controlled occasions the emergence of behaviours for the different stakeholders that go beyond our normal understanding of and expectations for the role of managers and employees. Research has emphasized the extent to which people are capable of improvising with and around information systems. However, there are still few explorations and explanations of the implications for surveillance and control of people's disposition and ability to adapt technology to suit their own interests. This track invites papers that theorize and research control mediated by IT by taking into account the active role that employees, managers and stakeholders in general, play in this process. We invite papers that focus on topics such as:. 1.How does improvisation with and around information technology affect computer-mediated control? 2. How does computer-mediated control affect people's ability and willingness to adapt IT to their everyday challenges? 3. What distinguishes effective and ineffective attempts to limit computer-mediated control over work? 4. What are the organizational consequences of employees' attempts to limit computer-mediated control over their own work? 5. How do managers cope with the effect on control of employees' adaptation of IT? 6. How do external and internal stakeholders design organizational computer-mediated control Andrea Carugati, Ph.D, Associate Professor Head of Information Systems Research Group Aarhus University, Business and Social Sciences Department of Business Administration Office 232, Building 1325 Bartholins Allé 10 DK-8000 Aarhus C T: +45 87164945 M: andreac(a)asb.dk <mailto:andreac@asb.dk> W: http://au.dk/en/andreac@asb.dk

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] cfp: The 12th Annual Security Conference (Las Vegas) Datum: Wed, 5 Dec 2012 05:30:22 -0500 Von: Gurpreet Dhillon <gdhillon(a)vcu.edu> An: AISWorld_List_Serv <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> The 12th Annual Security Conference Discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy April 10-12, 2013 The Orleans Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, Nevada, USA www.security-conference.org CALL FOR PAPERS Submissions OPEN (Jan 15, 2013. 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. Further details and submission instructions can be found at: www.security-conference.org General Chair Gurpreet Dhillon, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA Co-Conference Chairs Steve Furnell, University of Plymouth, UK Mark Weiser, Oklahoma State University, USA Program Chair Janine Spears, DePaul University, USA Mark Harris, University of South Carolina, USA International Liaison Chair Armindo Macedo, ISEG Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal Ella Kolkowska, Orbero University, Sweden International Program Committee Atif Ahmad, University of Melbourne, Australia Filipe de S√°-Soares, University of Minho, Portugal James Backhouse, London School of Economics, UK Jean-Henry Morin, University of Geneva, Switzerland Jean-Noel Ezingeard, Kingston University, UK John D'Arcy, Notre Dame University, USA Karin Hedstr√∂m, Swedish Business School, Sweden Krish Muralidhar, University of Kentucky, USA Meledath Damodaran,¬†University of Houston-Victoria, USA Michael Lapke, Rhode Island College, USA Nancy Pouloudi, Athens University of Economics & Business, Greece Nathan Clarke, University of Plymouth, UK Rathindra Sarathy, Oklahoma State University, USA Reijo Savola, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Oulu, Finland Richard S.
