-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2012 Mini-Track: Socio-Technical Aspects of Information Systems Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:57:09 +0000 From: Laurence Brooks <Laurence.Brooks(a)brunel.ac.uk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, UKAIS-NOTICES(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK <UKAIS-NOTICES(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 TRACK: Philosophical Perspectives in IS MINI-TRACK: Socio-Technical Aspects of Information Systems Description: The traditional view of information systems (IS) and their development (ISD) has progressed significantly since the early information systems developed under the technology-centric view; the hardware and its 'user'. There is growing acceptance that it is not solely the technical issues which are the major factor in their successful development and use, but the other relevant (non-technical) human and social factors. These combine with technologies to create the informated contexts in which IS are developed and operate; effectively or otherwise. Within the IS field the 'socio-technical' movement (Mumford, {1995, 2003}) can be seen to provide insights into this complex relationship between the technological artefact and the social aspects in which they are situated (Avgerou et. al., 2004). As such they may be understood independently of the actors that produced them in the first place but intimately situated within their contemporary contexts. In doing so these technologies and their functionality may be seen to combine with humans and their actions to constitute informated 'socio-technical ensemble' (Bijker and Law 1995) that exhibit a concerted agency. How such ensembles may be effectively created, maintained and changed -- locally and globally- incrementally and radically - is the subject of this mini-track. Suggested topics: . Social informatics . The application of social theory to information systems (eg. Structuration Theory, Actor-Network Theory, StructurANTion Theory) . Human and organisational aspects of information systems . Balancing of social and technical factors in information systems development and information systems . Critiques of the socio-technical approach . Case studies of socio-technical analysis of information systems . Socio-materiality and its implications for our understanding of information systems . Comparative studies (ie. between sectors, countries, cultures, etc.) of socio-technical analyses of information systems . Comparative analyses of socio-technical change and information systems . Global/local (or 'glocal') balance of information systems within a socio-technical context Mini-track chairs: Laurence Brooks Email: Laurence.Brooks(a)brunel.ac.uk School of Information Systems Computing and Mathematics, Brunel University, UK Phone: +44 (0) 1895 266010 David Wainwright Email: david.wainwright(a)northumbria.ac.uk School of Computing, Engineering & Information Sciences, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK Phone: +44 (0) 191 2437634 Submission Procedure: Submit your manuscript using the manuscript central system at - http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Important Dates * January 3, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions * March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions * April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date * April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due _______________________________________________________ Laurence Brooks Past President, UK Academy for Information Systems (UKAIS) President, UK Systems Society (UKSS) Course Director, MSc Information Systems Management (ISM) (http://www.brunel.ac.uk/siscm/disc/postgraduates/masters/information-system…) Lecturer, Department of Information Systems and Computing School of Information Systems, Computing and Mathematics Brunel University Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB8 3PH, UK.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: ICTM-2012 Wroclaw, Poland Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:34:32 -0500 (EST) From: Narcyz Roztocki <roztockn(a)newpaltz.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS ICT Management for Global Competitiveness and Economic Growth in Emerging Economies Wroclaw, Poland, September 17-18, 2012 Sponsored by AIS Special Interest Group on ICT and Global Development (SIG GlobDev) CONFERENCE CO-CHAIRS Jolanta Kowal, College of Management EDUKACJA, Wroclaw, Poland Narcyz Roztocki, SUNY at New Paltz, U.S.A. Conference website: http://www.ictm2012.edukacja.wroc.pl/ Fast growing emerging economies, including transition economies, are often considered the growth engine of the global economy. Unfortunately, despite the fast growth of emerging economies, the economic gap between emerging economies and the mature, developed countries still exists. It seems that in order to truly close this gap, new management techniques, new business models, and new regulatory policies, among other factors are needed. Moreover, it could be expected that information and communication technologies (ICTs) will play a vital role in this process. Thus, the objective of this conference is to provide a forum for interested researchers and practitioners for exchanging their creative ideas on these issues. Possible contributions regarding the ICT management for global competitiveness and economic growth in emerging economies may include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Social, political and legal frameworks and ICT Management in emerging and transition economies 2. Unique ICT management techniques for emerging and transition economies 3. Methods for measuring the benefits and costs of projects involving the adoption of ICT 4. The role of human and social capital 5. Innovative ways for generating revenues creating commercial knowledge products in emerging and transition economies 6. Educational systems and ICT Management in emerging and transition economies 7. ICT to support small and medium firms in emerging and transition economies 8. ICT management in small businesses as a path to economic growth 9. ICT productivity studies at the country, industry or firm level, with specific reference to the social and business conditions prevalent in emerging or transition economies 10. Global supply chain management and its contribution to emerging and transition economies 11. Country specific case studies, with specific reference to the social and business conditions prevalent in emerging and transition economies 12. IT off-shoring / IT outsourcing into emerging and transition economies 13. International ICT project management, with specific reference to the social and business conditions in emerging or transition economies 14. Digital divide in emerging and transition economies 15. E-commerce effect on emerging or transition economies 16. E-government in emerging or transition economies CONFERENCE COMMITTEE Mito Akiyoshi Senshu University Japan Nabeel Al-Qirim United Arab Emirates University United Arab Emirates Francis Andoh-Baidoo The University of Texas-Pan American USA Anton Arapetyan Lviv Business School UCU Ukraine David Bennett Chalmers University of Technology Sweden Svein Bergum Lillehammer University College Norway Edward Bernroider Vienna University of Economics and Business Austria Wojciech Bozejko Wroclaw University of Technology and College of Management Edukacja Poland Carsten Brockmann UniversitÃ¤t Potsdam Germany Sergey Butakov SolBridge International School of Business South Korea Narciso Cerpa Universidad de Talca Chile Daniele Chauvel SKEMA Business School, Sophia-Antipolis France Alina Chircu Bentley University USA Robert Davison City University of Hong Kong Hong Kong Cesar Alexandre de Souza FEA-USP Brazil Gert-Jan de Vreede University of Nebraska at Omaha USA Radoslav Delina Technical University of Kosice Slovakia Kathy Dhanda DePaul University USA Antonio Diaz Andrade AUT University New Zeland Tagelsir Gasmelseid King Faisal University Saudi Arabia Walid Ghodbane University of Manouba Tunisia Biswadip Ghosh Metropolitan State College of Denver USA Ake Gronlund Orebro University Sweden Angappa Gunasekaran University of Massachusetts Dartmouth USA G.

The conference will take place this Summer in Rome, Italy, on July 24-27. ICSOFT 2012 aims at bringing together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information technology and software development. This seventh edition will focus on the four main paradigms that have been intensively studied during the last decade for software and system design, namely: Models, Aspects, Services and Context. These four paradigms will drive the design and development of future software systems encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from programming issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of software engineering; from models and services to the most complex management information systems; Distributed systems, ubiquity, data interoperability; context understanding and many other topics are included in the scope of ICSOFT. The conference will feature four Keynote Lectures delivered by distinguished world-class researchers: Stephen Mellor (Freeter, U.K.), Daniela Nicklas (Carl von Ossietzky Universitaet Oldenburg, Germany), Fabio Casati (University of Trento, Italy) and Jan Dietz (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands). The Program Committee (check the website for a detailed list) includes internationally distinguished experts in the conference topic areas. Last year's ICSOFT received 220 paper submissions, of which 12% were selected to be published and presented as full papers (10 pages / 30' oral presentation). Additionally, 28% were accepted as short papers (20' oral presentation) and 15% as posters. ICSOFT 2012 intends to reinforce this high level of quality. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. BXDY A short list of presented papers will be selected for publication of extended and revised versions by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and Elsevier Index (EI). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SciTePress is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.icsoft.org/BestPaperAward.aspx). Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials and Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged: companies and researchers interested in presenting their products/methodologies/results in a dedicated satellite event are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from several types of support, including logistics, secretariat and financial, to facilitate the development of a valid idea. ICSOFT 2012 will be held in conjunction with ICETE (9th International Joint Conference on e-Business and Telecommunications - http://www.icete.org) and DATA (International Conference on Data Technologies and Applications - http://www.dataconference.org).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] ICCBR 2012 Call for Papers (Paper submission deadline April 9th, 2012) Datum: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:47:08 +0100 Von: Belén Díaz <belend(a)sip.ucm.es> Antwort an: Belén Díaz <belend(a)sip.ucm.es> An: belend(a)sip.ucm.es Call for Papers The 20th International Conference on Case-Based Reasoning Lyon, France 3 - 6 September 2012 http://www.iccbr.org/iccbr12 The ICCBR 2012 Program Committee invites submissions of original theoretical research, applied research and deployed application papers on all aspects of Case-Based Reasoning for the main technical program. ICCBR is the leading international meeting on case-based reasoning (CBR). In order to expand the frontiers of CBR as a scientific field, we would like to (1) emphasize the connections between CBR and related areas, and (2) explore new problems and industrial solutions. Another primary objective of ICCBR 2012 is to encourage new members to join the CBR community and regularly attend / participate in this premier CBR conference. Thus, the ICCBR 2012 program will include several new ideas along with the regular keynote addresses, technical program, applications track and workshop sessions. Details on these elements of the program can be found on the ICCBR 2012 web site. ICCBR 2012 Program Highlights Doctoral Consortium ICCBR 2012 will hold the 4th CBR Doctoral Consortium (DC) with the following objectives: (1) To provide a supportive setting for feedback on students' current research and guidance on future research directions, (2) To offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from faculty and students outside their own institution, and (3) To promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research. The DC gives early stage postgraduate students the important opportunity to discuss their research ideas and get very valuable feedback. Computer Cooking Contest The 5th Computer Cooking Contest (CCC) aims to attract new people to deal with AI technologies such as case-based reasoning, semantic technologies, search and information extraction. It is sponsored by Attensity and includes a travel bursary for its finalists. The CCC is an open competition. Any individual, student, research group and professional is invited to submit software that creates a recipe, such as for a single dish or even a three course menu, i.e., recipes for a starter, a main dish and a dessert. The input will be a database of basic recipes from which appropriate recipes must be selected, modified or even combined. The queries to the system consist of a number of desired ingredients and other requirements for the dish or menu. Industry / Applications Track Presentations ICCBR 2012 invites submissions for a special presentation-only track of deployed applications on all aspects of Case-Based Reasoning. The applications track provides an opportunity for both industry and academic application developers to showcase their work in 20-30 minute high-quality presentations, without the need to write a paper. This event takes place on one day and is an excellent way for industry members to interact with students and academic researchers. Presenters can express interest with a short (one paragraph) description of their work. Opportunities are also available to sponsor ICCBR 2012 and have an official conference presence. Workshops ICCBR 2012 invites proposals for full day or half day workshops as part of the Workshop Program. ICCBR 2012 workshops provide an informal setting in which participants wll have the opportunity to meet and discuss topics with a selected CBR focus in an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas. Recent ICCBR workshops have included: WebCBR, health care, textual CBR, computer gaming, process-oriented CBR, context awareness, and human-centered and cognitive approaches to CBR, uncertainty, and knowledge discovery.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: Special Issue on Cloud Computing: International Journal of Electronic Business Management Datum: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:47:48 +0000 Von: Catarina Ferreira da Silva <cferr(a)dei.uc.pt> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *A Special Issue on Cloud Computing* *In* */International Journal of Electronic Business Management (IJEBM)/* http://ijebm.ie.nthu.edu.tw <http://ijebm.ie.nthu.edu.tw/> http://ijebm-ojs.ie.nthu.edu.tw/IJEBM_OJS/index.php/IJEBM/index Special Issue Editors: Catarina Ferreira da Silva, Parisa Ghodous, Mahmoud Barhamgi** *_Aim and scope_* Cloud Computing is an emerging paradigm shift in management of computing resources for provisioning of services with enhanced capabilities. These capabilities pertain to non-functional (such as elasticity, reliability, availability and interoperability), economic (such as cost reduction, pay per use and improved time to market) and technological (such as virtualization, security, privacy, data management and resources metering) aspects. The groundings of Cloud Computing include the "as-a-Service" usage model, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and resources Virtualization. The goal of Cloud Computing is to reinforce infrastructure, and share resources among the cloud stakeholders in the cloud value chain. The NIST (USA National Institute of Standards and Technology <http://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/>) identifies cloud computing as a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Relevant progress has already been made on both the commercial and the academic side of cloud systems. However several challenges persist and new ones arise in the design, implementation, and deployment of virtualized clouds. These challenges include but are not limited to automated service provisioning, service monitoring and management, resource elasticity, cloud programming models and economic models. The circumstances under which companies choose to build their own value-producing private cloud computing networks are a related opportunity for service science research. There will be significant interest in conducting service science research on how cloud computing affects relationships among stakeholders in specific industry contexts, how the stakeholders will interact, and how their roles may shift, where the extent of economic value produced should be unique. Authors are invited to submit high quality papers. The submission of papers describing novel research directions are encouraged, as well as those by leading researchers and industry experts describing practical experiences in these areas. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: * New applications in Cloud * Case studies of application of Cloud in private and public sectors * Cloud computing types, such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) * Cloud usage types, such as private, public, hybrid and community cloudsSemantic web services in Cloud * Business and transactional models in Cloud * Service level agreements * Privacy, security, governance and legal issues in Cloud * New architectures and design methods for developing cloud services * Tools and techniques for developing and managing applications in cloud * Legacy systems and interoperability with Cloud * Data management * How Services Science can provide theory, methods and techniques to design, analyze, manage and market Cloud Computing *_Paper Submission Instructions and Procedure_* Full papers should not exceed 10 pages (including all figures, tables, and references), and must adhere to the formattingrules <http://ijebm-ojs.ie.nthu.edu.tw/IJEBM_OJS/index.php/IJEBM/information/autho…>(http://ijebm.ie.nthu.edu.tw/IJEBM_Web/IJEBM_static/00Intro/03InsForAuth.htm) of the IJEBM.Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit by January 31, 2012.Authors of papers will be notified by April 15, 2012 about the status of their submission.

Selected high-quality papers will be invited to be published, after revision and extension, in special issues of international journals and in a book in the Book Series: Atlantis Ambient and Pervasive Intelligence published by Springer. **** Scope ***** WWW has been driving global information integration. In spite of the many applications in all domains of our societies: e-business, e-commerce, e-learning, e-science, and e-government, for instance, as well as the tremendous advances by engineers and scientists, the seamless integration of information and services remains a major challenge. The current shared vision for the future is one of semantically rich information and service oriented architectures for global information systems. This vision is at the convergence of progress in technologies such as XML, Web services, RDF, OWL, of multimedia, multimodal, and multilingual information retrieval, and of distributed, mobile and ubiquitous computing. iiWAS2012 is the 14th in the series of the highly successful International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications& Systems. Recently, iiWAS has been held in Ho Chi Minh City (2011), Paris (2010), Kuala Lumpur (2009), and Linz (2008). This year Bali will host iiWAS2012. The iiWAS conference series have provided opportunities to researchers, graduate students, and industry practitioners to address recent research results and current industry practices in the area of information integration and web-based applications. We invite two types of submissions: Full Technical Papers and Short Position Papers.
