Fwd: [AISWorld] CONFENIS 2012 - Ghent Belgium
by Gustaf Neumann 06 Feb '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CONFENIS 2012 - Ghent Belgium Datum: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 14:43:10 +0100 Von: Devos Jan <Jan.Devos(a)howest.be> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL for PAPERS CONFENIS 2012, 19 -- 21 September 2012, Ghent Belgium ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SYSTEMS OF THE FUTURE EVOLVING TOWARDS MORE PERFORMANCE THROUGH TRANSPARENCY AND AGILITY Enterprise information systems (EIS) are large-scale modular software systems, such as ERP, that support and integrate process information flows, information reporting and business analytics within and between complex organizations. They provide a technology platform that enables organizations to integrate their information assets and coordinate their business processes. As the central nervous system of the organization, they ensure that information can be shared across all functional departments and managerial levels. EIS are invaluable because they eliminate the problem of information fragmentation caused by multiple information systems in an organization. The CONFENIS series of conferences offers an annual opportunity to EIS researchers and practitioners to present recent research or application experiences, to provide feedback to peers, to set out the vision for future research and developments in the field, and to create or confirm long-lasting and fruitful collaborations. With the theme of CONFENIS 2012 we wish to emphasize two evolutions in the science and practice of EIS. The first evolution is the development of more open systems, for instance, the creation of interoperation between systems from collaborating organizations or the composition of systems from standard modules and packages offered by different vendors. The second evolution is the move towards more flexible systems, meaning easily configurable and adaptable systems based on service-oriented software architectures, the software as a service business model, cloud computing infrastructures, and software product line approaches. We therefore especially welcome Design Science research and technical or evaluation papers on methods, techniques and technologies to make EIS more transparent, e.g. research on enterprise modelling, ontology and architecture that would 'open up' the structure and behaviour of enterprise systems, as well as empirically-driven research and theoretical, conceptual or even visionary papers on how flexible EIS solutions can foster business agility and innovation. Apart from research papers, the call for papers is also open to practice-driven experience reports that reflect upon openness and flexibility in the context of the acquisition, implementation, use and management of EIS in organizations. The conference is hosting an industry & service track aimed at exploring emerging topics in depth. We therefore particularly welcome contributions from starters, SME's, social profit organizations, organizations within non-business sectors or any other kind of organization that was not targeted by the standard monolithic enterprise system software packages of the past. Accepted papers will be published as full or short papers in a Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing (LNBIP) volume by Springer. ** *Topics of interest * Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: . Enterprise Information System (EIS): evolution in concept, technology, and application . EIS classifications and typologies . Design of EIS: approaches to variability, adaptability and flexibility . Acquiring, implementing and managing EIS: approaches, experiences, lessons learned . Success of EIS: satisfaction, acceptance, adoption . Integration and interoperability of enterprise systems . Enterprise modelling, ontology, architecture, and engineering . Business process management and service-oriented architecture for enterprise systems . New platforms for EIS: Web-based EIS, cloud computing for enterprise systems, platform/infrastructure as a service . New EIS delivery and commercial models, e.g., Software as a Service (SaaS), software on demand, from proprietary to open source in enterprise system packages . IT governance and EIS: trust, security and privacy issues in EIS, compliance issues, risk management, value delivery, alignment of business and enterprise systems . Quality assurance of enterprise systems and enterprise information . ERP and social media (social ERP): integration of social media software in EIS, sense-making of enterprise information via social media . Market trends, opportunities, and future strategies for EIS software vendors, integrators and implementers . Making sense of EIS: application of theories used in organization studies and the social sciences . Behavioural and social studies of the impact of EIS on individuals, teams, and organizations . Economic studies of EIS: benefits, costs and risks, productivity studies, impact on organizational performance . The art of researching EIS: research methodologies and paradigms . EIS best practices and use cases . EIS and more specifically ERP in sme's and start-ups: needs, thresholds, lessons learned, opportunities and visionary trends . EIS in social profit organisations, in healthcare, in other economic domains: media, accounting,.. . ERP and cloud computing (cloud ERP) . ERP and open source *Four types of papers, two different tracks * We are soliciting four types of papers for two different tracks: an *academic track *that is mainly focused on research issues in EIS and an *industry & service track *that is mainly focused on practical issues in EIS. 1. *Regular research papers *(academic track) report on completed EIS research that complies with rigorous scientific standards. These papers present original results of completed research studies with the aim of obtaining feedback from fellow researchers. The ambition level for these papers, after revision incorporating the expert feedback, is a publication in an academic journal or as a book chapter published by an internationally recognized publisher. 2. *Work-in-progress papers *(academic track) are short papers that present the design and preliminary results of ongoing EIS research studies with the aim of obtaining early feedback and further guidance from experts and peers. Work-in-progress papers will be evaluated using the same academic standards as regular research papers (except for completeness requirements). 3. *Conceptual or visionary papers *(industry & service track) are papers that may target practitioners, researchers, or both. Their aim is to convey a clear message based on well-founded arguments, though not necessarily based on the results of specific scientific studies. The ideas expressed may be driven by experience with the practice of EIS or research in EIS. These papers will be evaluated mainly for their readability, innovativeness, and soundness of the ideas expressed. 4. *Experience reports *(industry & service track) describe real-life experiences with EIS that authors wish to share with fellow practitioners and EIS researchers. They focus on specific problems and solutions in specific contexts. Their aim may be to help other practitioners facing similar problems or to solicit help and possible solutions from other practitioners (or EIS researchers). We especially welcome papers aiming at following domains: healthcare IT, sme's and ERP: from design for large enterprises towards adaptation for smaller organizations (sme's) and social profit organisations, from transactional systems to decision-making systems, from ERP and SCM over CRM, Office Systems towards Business Intelligence and Web 2.0, approaches for training and communication when implementing ERP, change management in the context of planning and/or implementing ERP, sources of success and failure when selecting, planning, implementing ERP, evaluation and benefits management of EIS projects, characteristics, skills and competencies of planning and/or implementation teams The evaluation of these papers will be based mainly on readability, relevance to the conference, and potential interest to the conference participants. The submission process will be handled by the EasyChair conference management system. Only submission of electronic manuscripts via EasyChair is allowed. The submission guidelines provide further information on the submission requirements for these different tracks and types of paper. *Important dates * EasyChair submission system open: 1 February 2012 Abstract submission deadline: 15 April 2012 Paper submission deadline: 1 May 2012 Notification of acceptance: 15 June 2012 Camera-ready version deadline: 1 August 2012 Conference: 19-21 September 2012 Revised paper submission deadline: 1 November 2012 (TBC) Publication post-conference proceedings: end 2012 -- early 2013 *More information * www.confenis2012.be or LinkedIn group: CONFENIS 2012 ** *Academic track and papers *Prof. dr.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS2012 CFP: Customer Engagement in Virtual Communities and Virtual Worlds Datum: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 16:56:58 +0800 Von: Christy Cheung <ccheung(a)hkbu.edu.hk> Organisation: Hong Kong Baptist University An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *AMCIS **2012*** *Track: Virtual Communities and Virtual Worlds* *Mini-track**: Customer Engagement in Virtual Communities and Virtual Worlds* 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS2012) 09 - 12 August 2011, Seattle, Washington, USA,http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ *Introduction:* The rise of new media channels during the last few years has changed the way consumers communicate and exchange information. Most major companies now build virtual communities and virtual worlds on blogs, Facebook Fan Pages, Twitter, Second Life, and the like in an attempt to manage customer relationships through consumer engagement and participation in these online social platforms. Customers can easily communicate their opinions, exchange product information, and rate companies and their offerings on online product-review communities. They can freely join their favorite online brand communities and engage in those communities through dynamic communication processes (e.g., providing comments on pictures and videos related to the brand or company).

In particular, they provide a cost efficient solution for provisioning a wide range of computing resources in diverse environments such as business, scientific, or mobile. Due to the rapid growth of user- defined and user-generated programs, applications and content, the complexity of deploying and operating data centers is expected to increase. Considering the high volume of mixed workloads, the diversity of services offered, and the increasing mobility of users across geographically distributed areas, the performance optimization of data centers has become ever more necessary and challenging, especially concerning criteria such as scalability, reliability, manageability, power efficiency, area density, and operating costs. As a result, adaptive and autonomic optimization strategies are essential in managing the multi-dimensional complexity of data center performance. The goal of this workshop is to promote a community-wide discussion to find and identify suitable strategies to enable effective and scalable data center performance optimizations. We are looking for papers that present new techniques, introduce new methodologies, propose new research directions, or discuss strategies for resolving open performance problems at all layers of a data center. Topics of interest include: (but are not limited to) - Data Center Communication - Intra/Inter DC Communication - Network Protocols - Security - Data Center Performance - Power/Reliability - Performance Evaluation/Modeling - Data Center Systems - DC Architectures - Resource Allocation - Content Distribution - Empirical Studies - Data Center Virtualization - Hardware Support - Hypervisors - Virtualized Storage - Data Center Applications - Cloud Computing - Content Distribution - Hadoop Applications Important dates: - Paper Registration and Submission: February 10th, 2012 (Extended) - Notification of Acceptance: March 7th, 2012 - Final Manuscript Due: March 30th, 2012 - Conference: June 21th, 2012 Submission Guidelines: Manuscripts must be limited to 6 pages plus up to 2 over-length pages in IEEE 8.5x11 format.

Datum: Mon, 6 Feb 2012 02:41:55 -0500 (EST) Von: MurphJen(a)aol.com An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington <x-apple-data-detectors://0/>, August 9-12, 2012 <x-apple-data-detectors://1/> Track: Decision Support, Data Management Systems, Knowledge Management, and Business Intelligence (SIGDSS) Minitrack: Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements 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: 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.
