Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Minitrack: Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning Through Technology
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Minitrack: Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning Through Technology Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:13:14 +0100 From: jorge.marx.gomez(a)uni-oldenburg.de To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CC: Carsten.Brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de, "Prof. Dr. Karl Kurbel" <kurbel.bi(a)europa-uni.de> CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 Minitrack: Advancing Enterprise Resource Planning Through Technology Description: Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic systems to more and more fragmented systems distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. This change has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and more business functionality into ERP. Starting from material requirements planning (MRP) and manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), the financial and human resources functions as well as executive information systems and eventually long-term strategic planning support for senior management have been included. These developments have made an ERP system "the" core information system of an organization â?? and the technological backbone that other information systems need to collaborate with. ERP related functionality such as supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM) and supplier relationship management (SRM) is either integrated, embedded or closely coupled with an ERP system. Software, hardware and networking technology has enabled the increased importance of ERP systems, but it also posed technological and managerial challenges. In contrast to the early ERP monoliths, we nowadays have distributed architectures â?? both conventional in-house architectures such as client-server and service oriented architectures (SOA) as well as externally hosted architectures used by application-service-providing (ASP) and software-on-demand solutions. With the appearance of mobile commerce, software-as-a-service (SaaS) approaches and cloud computing, additional challenges have emerged. Technologies such as radio frequency identification (RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and react in real-time. RFID, smart items and the "Internet of things" impose new requirements on ERP systems, such as being capable of context-aware information processing. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented, security issues need to be resolved and a satisfactory level of trust in the technologies has to be created. Organizations seem to be hesitant about having their mission-critical business processes run somewhere out in a "cloud" and maintaining their core business data in a nirvana. Nevertheless, cloud computing is rapidly gaining pace. In the past, the vendors of software-on-demand solutions have not been able to generate significant revenue from this type of solution. This is about to change, as cloud computing is penetrating every branch of business information processing. The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning. We invite papers that pursue a constructionist approach to information systems development, following an engineering-like or design-science research style. Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business value of the proposed approaches or solutions. Suggested Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Architectures for ERP and related business information systems - ERP systems based on service oriented architectures (SOA) - Software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP and related areas - Orchestrating an ERP system from web services/enterprise services - ERP on demand for small and medium-size enterprises - Federated ERP systems, standardization and collaboration issues - ERP and cloud computing - Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP - Integrating RFID solutions with ERP - Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems - Integrating legacy ERP systems with new components using state-of-the-art technologies - Mobile ERP and related areas such as mobile SCM, mobile CRM and mobile SRM - Security issues and trust in new technologies for enterprise resource planning Submission Procedure Submit your manuscript using the manuscript central system at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Important Dates â?¢ January 3, 2012: Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions â?¢ March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions â?¢ April 2, 20012: Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date â?¢ April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): For accepted papers, camera ready copy due Minitrack Chairs: Karl Kurbel, Jorge Marx GÃ³mez Prof. Dr. Karl Kurbel Business Informatics European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) Germany kurbel.BI(a)uni-ffo.de; www.wiwi.uni-ffo.de/bi ph +49 335 5534 2320, fax +49 335 5534 2321 Prof. Dr.-Ing.

Fwd: [AISWorld] GRCIS'12 CfP - 4th International Workshop on Governance, Risk and Compliance @ CAiSE2010
by Gustaf Neumann 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] GRCIS'12 CfP - 4th International Workshop on Governance, Risk and Compliance @ CAiSE2010 Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:19:51 +1000 From: Marta Indulska <m.indulska(a)business.uq.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 4th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON GOVERNANCE, RISK AND COMPLIANCE - APPLICATIONS IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GRCIS'12) http://www.grcis.com 26 June, 2012 Gdansk, Poland In conjunction with CAiSE'12 (http://www.caise2012.univ.gda.pl/) *********************************** Paper Submission: February 28, 2012 *********************************** BACKGROUND The importance of governance and associated issues of compliance and risk management is well recognized in enterprise systems. This importance has dramatically increased over the last few years as a result of numerous events that led to some of the largest scandals in corporate history. The governance, risk and compliance market is estimated to be worth over $32 billion. Tool support for governance, risk and compliance related initiatives is provided by over 100 software vendors, however, while the tools have on average tripled in price since 2003, they are often insufficient to meet organizational needs. At the same time, there is an increasing complexity in the facilitation of compliant business processes, which stems from an increasing number of regulations, frequent and dynamic changes, as well as shared processes and services executing in highly decentralized environments. In the age of outsourcing, dynamic business networks, and global commerce, it is inevitable that organizations will need to develop methods, tools and techniques to design, engineer, and assess processes and services that meet regulatory, standard and contractual obligations. Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) can be expected to play a significant part in several applications. This area is emerging as a critical and challenging area of research and innovation. It introduces, among others, the need for new or adapted modeling approaches for compliance requirements, extension of process and service modeling and execution frameworks for compliance and risk management, and detection of policy violations. In addition, it introduces questions relating specifically to the use of technology to support compliance management. For example, how auditors and regulators can put into use techniques like continuous monitoring and data analysis to assess whether an organization complies with relevant rules and regulations, or how technology can be used to support assessment of design and operational effectiveness of controls. This workshop will provide, for the fourth year running, a forum for researchers from diverse areas and make a consolidated contribution in the form of new and extended methods that address the challenges of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. Industry papers are also encouraged at this workshop. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics covered by the workshop will include at least the following: *Policy definition and enforcement *Smart auditing *Compliant service and process design *Noncompliant process identification *ICT-enabled risk management *Visualization and simulation of risk in process models *Governance processes *Integration and effectuation of multiple regulatory standards *Compliance, risk and tolerance metrics *Organizational structures to support compliance *Requirements engineering for compliant information systems *Implementations of compliance technologies *Separation of duties/Separation of rights *Decision tracing *Data provenance and lineage *Work tracking *Violation detection *Applications of RuleML, SBVR, and other rule modeling approaches *Technologies for compliance assurance *Applications, case studies and use cases Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Accepted papers will be published in a printed Springer LNBIP proceedings. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution, and relation to previous research. Position, survey and industry papers are also welcome. Authors of the best workshop paper will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to International Journal of Information System Modeling an Design. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: February 28, 2012 Notification of acceptance: March 16, 2012 Camera ready: March 23, 2012 Workshop: June 26, 2012 SUBMISSION DETAILS Papers should be submitted in PDF format and must not exceed 14 pages.

Email:alan.litchfield@aut.ac.nz <mailto:alan.litchfield@aut.ac.nz> Sutirtha Chatterjee: College of Business, Prairie View A & M University, Texas, USA. Email:suchatterjee@pvamu.edu <mailto:suchatterjee@pvamu.edu> * * *Mini-track Description* For research and professional practice in the field of Information Systems, ethics maintains a broad range of concerns that impact the work of professionals, academics and researchers, and the work and lives of those who are dependent upon the successful and appropriate deployment of information systems (for example, Chatterjee, Sarker & Fuller, 2009; Mingers and Walsham, 2010). Recent world events reported in the media highlight the need for a constant review of ethics, both in application and theory, through sociopolitical and sociotechnical lenses. The use and application of computing technologies typically derives positive and negative influences for humanity. Accounts exist of the negative impacts of unforeseen events, the misuse of technologies, or the corruption of otherwise well-intentioned technologies, as well as being part of a wider negative impact on the environment. It is when such events occur that the role that practitioners and researcher play is brought into question. Typically, ethics in computing and information technology has concentrated on certain specific areas such as whether ethics in computing is a unique field, how ethics is treated pedagogically, issues of logic versus moral responsibility, matching computer use against human values, the ethics of professionals and practitioners, and so on. However, some of the debates regarding ethics have been renewed in light of recent advances in technology and the uses to which technology is applied. Moor (1985, p. 266) says: $B!H(BA typical problem in computer ethics arises because there is a policy vacuum about how computer technology should be used. Computers provide us with new capabilities and these in turn give us new choices for action. Often, either no policies for conduct in these situations exist or existing policies seem inadequate. A central task of computer ethics is to determine what we should do in such cases, that is, formulate policies to guide our actions.$B!I(B This mini-track provides a forum for the expression of debates and arguments surrounding these and other issues. Authors can present cases that have arisen out of present and past researches, and events that clarify ethical dimensions. Papers should be of a standard where specific issues are identified and questions or solutions presented.

As knowledge workers, people use information and IT in creative, innovative and productive ways in order to create value through the exploitation of understanding. Extending the level of analysis from the individual to the group or society we find new forms of creating, sharing and using knowledge, such as crowdsourcing and cloud wisdom. To perform their activities, knowledge workers depend on information, IT and information systems. This reliance is extensive to organizations and society. The computerization of work brings new challenges and opportunities, as well as new threats. The knowledge society might also be labeled the risk society. Adverse events such as human errors, uncontrolled complexity, ineffective governance, analysis and design faults in information systems, violations of safeguards by trusted personnel, system intruders, malware, environmental damage and offensive information warfare may endanger individual, organizational and social well-being. A security breach or a privacy violation may expose the vulnerability of the fabric of our society, woven of a myriad of personal, organizational and inter-organizational information systems and public and private information services. This track provides a forum for the discussion and exchange of relevant findings and promising ideas on information risk, security and privacy. The track welcomes theoretical and empirical submissions and is particularly looking for contributions which discuss the results of interdisciplinary research on information risk, security and privacy grounded on the intersection of theory, methods and empirical findings. The submissions may consider technical, formal, informal or regulatory issues, focusing on technological, organizational or social aspects of information risk, security and privacy. The track aims to attract rigorous research that may prove useful for the effective and efficient management of information risk, security and privacy. In addition, it also aims to motivate the exploitation of new or alternative research paths in the realm of information risk, security and privacy contemporary issues. List of Relevant Topics Relevant topics include, but are not limited, to: - Information Risks of Emergent Technologies - Information Risk Management - Economics of Information Risk, Security and Privacy - Governance of Information Risk, Security and Privacy - Information Risk, Security and Privacy Evaluation and Metrics - Security Planning and Architecture - Security and Privacy Strategies, Policies and Procedures - Security and Privacy Roles and Responsibilities - Security and Privacy Analysis and Design - Security and Privacy Implementation - Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery - Information Security and Usability - Human Behavior on Information Security and Privacy - Risk, Security and Privacy Culture - Security and Privacy Standards - Security and Privacy Legislation - Security and Privacy Compliance - Security and Privacy Ethical Challenges - Cybercrime and Information Warfare - Information Risk, Security and Privacy Assurance and Certification - Epistemology and Methodology of Risk, Security and Privacy Research Types of Accepted Contributions Full research papers (7ñ12 pages) Research-in-progress papers (3ñ7 pages) Research and teaching case studies (7ñ12 pages) Posters (A2) Submissions All submissions in English, via the EasyChair Submission System http://www.mcis2012.org/index.php/submissions MCIS paper template available Accepted full papers will be published in the Springer LNBIP series "Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing" (ISI and Scopus proceedings indexed).

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: â?¢Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems â?¢Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance â?¢Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success â?¢Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use â?¢Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics â?¢Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators â?¢Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives â?¢Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements â?¢Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities â?¢Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge management/organizational memory systems â?¢Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge management performance â?¢Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success â?¢Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their theoretical basis to facilitate the value of knowledge-based initiatives â?¢Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing knowledge-based initiatives IMPORTANT DATES January 2, 2012 Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions March 1, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://3/> Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://4/> Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date April 20, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://5/> For accepted papers, camera-ready copy due SUBMISSION SITE http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 CHAIRS' CONTACT INFORMATION Murray E.
