The social system may comprise individuals or organizations, deal with formal or informal connections, exist for hedonic or instrumental purposes, structured as aristocratic or egalitarian networks, and based on strong or weak ties among members. Communication mechanisms and patterns within such social systems can vary considerably and can significantly affect the diffusion process over time. We solicit theoretical expositions and empirical investigations that deal with the diffusion of IS innovations. Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following: - Types of communication channels for diffusion of IS innovations - Relationship between network characteristics (e.g., network centrality) and diffusion - Speed of diffusion of IS innovations within networks - Effects of organizational (or network level) mechanisms on diffusion - Political moves underlying diffusion of IS innovations - Positive and negative communication regarding IS innovations and diffusion - Patterns of diffusion (e.g., S-shaped curve) within social networks - Modeling diffusion within social networks DATES March 1, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Deadline for paper submissions April 2, 2012: Authors notified of acceptance decisions April 20, 2012: (11:59 PM Pacific time zone): Camera ready copy due for accepted papers SUBMISSIONS: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012 Mini-track Chair: Anand Jeyaraj, Wright State University ================================================= Anand Jeyaraj, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems Department of Information Systems & Operations Management Raj Soin College of Business 251 Rike Hall Wright State University 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway Dayton OH 45435 Voice: 937-775-2189 Fax: 937-775-3533 Web: http://www.wright.edu/~anand.jeyaraj

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP First international workshop on "Mobile Cooperation: Towards mobile, flexible and ubiquitous cooperation processes (Mobile CSCW)" Datum: Thu, 02 Feb 2012 12:50:35 +0100 Von: Michael Prilla <michael.prilla(a)rub.de> Antwort an: Michael Prilla <michael.prilla(a)rub.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de First Call for Papers "Mobile Cooperation / Mobile CSCW" ----- First international workshop on "Mobile Cooperation: Towards mobile, flexible and ubiquitous cooperation processes (Mobile CSCW)" at COOP 2012, Marseille, France, 29 May - 1 June 2012 ----- Date: 29 May 2012 Website: http://imtm-iaw.rub.de/mobilecscw Contact/Submissions: michael.prilla(a)rub.de; carsten.ritterskamp(a)adesso.de ---Organizers--- Michael Prilla; University of Bochum, Germany Carsten Ritterskamp; adesso AG, Germany ---Workshop Content--- The prevalence and maturity of today's mobile technologies allow for a mobilization of cooperative work on a large scale. While there is a plethora of technologies offering mobile cooperation support in the field, there still is a need for a methodological reflection on the mobilization of cooperative processes. The field of CSCW needs to develop a framework for the analysis and practical design of mobile cooperation - the full day workshop on Mobile CSCW at COOP 2012 is intended to be a starting point for this endeavor. Intending to develop a conception of Mobile CSCW that is applicable both for business an research, we will address three pivotal questions from a joint perspective of research and practice: 1) When and how can processes of cooperation be mobilized adequately? 2) which opportunities and barriers arise from current findings and technologies for mobile cooperation support? 3) How does cooperation change through mobile access to cooperation support and how does mobility shape new technologies for cooperation? Aiming at knowledge exchange and co-production, the workshop invites both researchers and practitioners and incorporates presentations of participants' work and interactive sessions. The workshop is held in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on the Design of Cooperative Systems (COOP 2012). ---Topics--- The workshop welcomes different kind of contributions, including the description of case studies and other empirical work on mobile cooperation support, position papers e.g. describing future research and practical experiences with mobile cooperation support. Although we strongly encourage partners or tandems from research and practice (just as the organizers) to present their work of implementing mobile CSCW in real contexts, researchers and practitioners without a partner present are also cordially invited to contribute their work. Topics of the workshop include but are not restricted to the following: Studies on mobile cooperation processes - Analysis of cooperation processes and their (potential for) mobility - Mobile work and its affordances - Mobility of cooperation processes and their parts - Communication in mobile cooperation - Advantages and disadvantages of mobile and mobilization of cooperation Experiences with mobile technologies for cooperation support - Adoption and adaption of mobile technology in cooperation - (Positive and negative) Effects of mobile technology on communication and cooperation - Integration of mobile devices into existing IT and process infrastructures - Usage patterns of mobile cooperation support, including personalization Theories, frameworks and design approaches supporting mobile cooperation support - Constraints, needs and benefits of mobile cooperation - Mappings between technology and mobile needs - Insights into the way (mobile) technologies change (mobile) cooperation - Design of mobile cooperation processes and technologies - Modeling of mobile business processes ñ patterns and procedures to depict mobility, its opportunities and to conduct the necessary steps of transformation. ---Submission--- We will accept contributions in two different formats: - Short papers such as reports of best practices or position papers which may not exceed 3 pages. - Long papers of such as reports of empirical studies or research in progress which may not exceed 6 pages. All contributions have to be formatted according to the COOP formatting instructions and must be submitted in PDF format via eMail to the organizers. Author kits and paper templates are available at the COOP 2012 website (http://coop-2012.grenoble-inp.fr). For more information on the workshop please visit: http://imtm-iaw.rub.de/mobilecscw ---Important Dates--- 02.04. Abstract submission 09.04. Full paper submission 23.04. Acceptance notification ---Program committee--- Michael Prilla, University of Bochum, Germany Carsten Ritterskamp, adesso AG, Germany Volker Gruhn, University of Duisburg-Essen / adesso AG, Germany Thomas Herrmann, University of Bochum, Germany ---Venue--- The 10th International Conference on the Design of Cooperative Systems (COOP 2012) will be held in Marseille, France from 29 May to 1 June 2012. COOP 2012 will be the tenth COOP conference and twenty years on from the first conference in 1992 we are asking practitioners to reflect on what have been the successes and the failures, and what are the remaining challenges in our relevant domains. The conference aims at bringing together researchers who contribute to the analysis and design of cooperative systems and their integration in organizational unity, public and other settings, and their implications for policy and decision-making. The COOP conferences suggest that cooperative systems design requires deep understanding of collective activities, involving both artifacts and social practices. Contributions are solicited from a wide range of domains contributing to the fields of cooperative systems design and evaluation: CSCW, HCI, Information Systems, Knowledge Engineering, Multi-agents, organizational and management sciences, sociology, psychology, anthropology, ergonomics, linguistics, etc. -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-admin(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Calls for papers, posters, tutorials and workshops at the 6th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Datum: Thu, 2 Feb 2012 13:53:54 +0100 (CET) Von: SASO 2012 Publicity Chair <SASO2012-Publicity(a)iiia.csic.es> An: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at Kopie (CC): SASO 2012 Publicity Chair <saso2012-publicity(a)iiia.csic.es> Dear colleague, as a researcher active in the field of Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems, we would like to ask you to consider participating in the 6th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2012) that will be held from the 10th to the 14th of September in Lyon, France. Please, find any relevant information in the different calls for papers, posters, tutorials and workshops reported below, and feel free to ask any question if needed. Best Regards Zhang Jie, Sam Malek, Jose Luis Fernandez-Marquez SASO 2012 Publicity Chair --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SASO 2012 - Call for Papers, Poster, Tutorials and Workshops 6th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems Lyon, France; 10-14 September 2012 --- http://saso2012.univ-lyon1.fr/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The aim of the SASO conference series is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. To this end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications. The complexity of current and emerging computing systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated facets of a paradigm shift. Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems are particularly encouraged. --------------- Call for Papers --------------- The aim of the SASO conference series is to provide a forum for presenting the latest results about self-adaptive and self-organizing systems, networks and services. To this end, the meeting aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications, and to identify new challenges. The complexity of current and emerging computing systems has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, biology, etc.) to find new ways of designing and managing networks, systems and services. In this endeavor, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated facets of a paradigm shift. Self-adaptive systems work in a top down manner. They evaluate their own global behavior and change it when the evaluation indicates that they are not accomplishing what they were intended to do, or when better function or performance is possible. A challenge is often to identify how to change specific behaviors to achieve the desired improvement. Self-organizing systems work bottom up. They are composed of a large number of components that interact locally according to typically simple rules. The global behavior of the system emerges from these local interactions. Here, a challenge is often to predict and control the resulting global behavior. Important Dates --------------- Abstract submission: April 23rd, 2012 Full paper submission: April 30rd, 2012 Notification of acceptance: June 20th, 2012 Camera-ready version of accepted papers: July 18th, 2012 Early registration: August 20th, 2012 All deadlines are at 11:59 PM American Samoa Time (UTC-11). Topics of Interest ------------------ The SASO conference is interested in both theoretical and practical aspects of systems exhibiting self-* characteristics. A particular focus is the modeling of natural, man-made and social systems that exhibit self-adaptation and self-organization characteristics as well as the constructive use of the underlying basic principles in technical systems. The sixth edition of SASO particularly encourages submissions from the following, non-exclusive list of topic areas: - Principles, Theory, Methods and Architectures for SASO Systems - Robustness, Resilience and Fault-Tolerance in/with Self-* Systems - Self-* Behavior in Communication Networks - (Self-)Control, (Self-)Observation, (Self-)Monitoring of Engineered Systems - Collective Phenomena in Social and Socio-Technical Systems - Self-Organization and Self-Adaptation in Biological/Natural Systems - Applications of Spatial and Physics-Inspired Self-Organization - SASO Principles in Cyber-Security - SASO Principles in Collective Robotic Systems - SASO Principles in Cyber-Physical Systems - Real-World Experience with Engineered Systems Exhibiting Self-* Properties All contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems and applications. Contributions that contrast "conventional" engineering principles with novel approaches making use of SASO principles are especially welcome. Submissions Instructions All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in PDF format. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2012 conference management system. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE digital library. Note that a separate call for poster and demo submissions has also been issued. Emerging Topic Papers --------------------- In addition to regular papers, SASO also encourages the submission of papers on emerging topics. These submissions should be clearly marked as such (indicating "Emerging Topic:" in the title) and should provide a well-rounded survey of novel questions, methods and abstractions that are relevant for the design of SASO systems along with a clear indication of the possible impact on the SASO community. In this category we particularly encourage submissions that present innovative applications of methodological frameworks being used in other fields of science that study SASO related phenomena, thus highlighting connections and potential for collaboration between different scientific communities. Program Chairs -------------- Anwitaman Datta, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Marie-Pierre Gleizes, IRIT- University of Toulouse, France Ingo Scholtes, Chair of Systems Design, ETH Zurich, Switzerland ---------------- Call for Posters ---------------- The sixth SASO conference continues its tradition of offering poster sessions, a great opportunity for interactive presentation of diverse research. Poster sessions are informal and highly interactive, and allow authors and participants to engage in in-depth discussions about the presented work. Posters are an ideal format in which to present late-breaking results, innovations in their initial stages, and speculative/provocative ideas. Posters should cover the same key areas as Research Papers. Submissions in the following areas are particularly encouraged: - Principles, theory, and architectures for SASO systems - Building trustworthy SASO Systems - Self-* behavior in communication networks - Design& engineering of SASO Systems / SASO principles in design automation - (Self-)Control, (self-)observation, (self-)monitoring of engineered SASO systems - Robustness, resilience, fault-tolerance in/with self-* systems - Complex collective phenomena in social and socio-technical systems - Self-organization and self-adaptation in biological/natural systems - Applications of spatial and physics-inspired self-organization - SASO principles in cyber-security - SASO principles in robotic systems - SASO principles for ambient systems and context-awareness - Real-world experience with engineered systems exhibiting self-* properties Important Dates --------------- Deadline for submission: May 30, 2012 Notification of acceptance or rejection: June 20, 2012 Camera ready poster abstract due: July 18, 2012 Poster session date: September 12, 2012 Submission Process ------------------ For evaluation and selection, authors should submit a two-page extended abstract of their poster. The format of this extended abstract must comply with the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and it shall be submitted electronically in PDF format. Templates for Word and LaTeX are available here. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2012 conference management system: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=saso2012 Poster authors should use the poster track for their submissions. Accepted Posters ---------------- If selected, authors shall prepare a final, camera ready version of the extended abstract, taking into account all feedback from reviewers, and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide. Posters will be advertised in the final program, and authors' two-page extended abstracts will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press as part of the conference proceedings. Abstracts will also be available as part of the IEEE Digital Library. Poster Content -------------- All posters should include the following information: - The purpose and goals of the work. - Any background and motivation needed to understand the work. - Any critical hypotheses and assumptions that underlie the work. - A clear summary of the contribution and/or results, in sufficient detail for a (re)viewer to understand the work and its relevance. If the work is at an initial stage, it is especially important to state clearly the anticipated contributions and any early results towards them. - The relationship to other related efforts, where appropriate. Authors of accepted posters may be asked to point out relationships to work represented by other accepted posters. - Where to find additional information. This should include but is not restricted to: a web site where viewers can go to find additional information about the work how to contact the authors, including email addresses citations for any papers, books, or other materials that provide additional information. Poster Layout Guidelines ------------------------ The format of posters and the nature of poster sessions require authors to capture the viewers' attention effectively, and present core concepts so as to clearly position the context of their research work. For this reason, graphic representations, figures, and screen shots are typically the main medium of communication in successful posters. Few attendees will stop to read a large poster with dense text. If screen shots are used, please ensure that they print legibly and that the fonts are large enough to be read easily once printed.

Due to their complex requirements the design of WIS is not a trivial task. Design methodologies provide guidelines for the creation of WIS so that the complexity of this process becomes manageable. Based on the separation-of-concerns principle some of these methodologies propose models to specify different aspects of WIS design like data integration, navigation structure, user interface, user interaction, presentation personalization, etc. Recent advances in networking technologies enabled WIS access via different devices (e.g., PDA, Smart phone, PC, BlackBerry, etc.). In addition to this device heterogeneity there is also a heterogeneous audience (e.g., different backgrounds, different goals, etc.) that wants to access the same system. In order to improve the user experience, these systems often need to personalize the content and its presentation based on the current user needs (e.g., user’s browsing platform or user preferences). Another aspect that can influence the behaviour of a WIS is the context of use (e.g., the geographical position, the temporal information, the weather conditions, etc.). Systems that are able to exploit this kind of information will further improve the application usefulness for their users. Integrating such information is possibly made available by specialized services and the need to seamlessly integrate these services into a WIS is therefore an important part of WIS development research. As the Web data is very diverse, WIS are seeking efficient and flexible approaches to provide integrated views over heterogeneous data sources. These data sources are usually autonomous (maintained by different organizations), overlapping, frequently changing, and distributed. All these characteristics make the data integration on the Web a very challenging research topic. The increased use of rich-clients applications (e.g., AJAX, OpenLaszlo, etc.) poses new demands to WIS design. The design of these applications needs to go beyond the server roundtrip paradigm by considering the new functionality added to clients, an intelligent data-push communication with the server, interactive-rich graphical interfaces, etc. Also, with the current emergence of social Web applications (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc.) there is a need to properly model the highly dynamic aspects of these systems. In addition, WIS can tap into the data made available by these systems to provide for previously unforeseen functionalities. Making use of rich clients and allowing users to establish social networks are some of the features that need to be considered when developing Web 2.0 applications. Semantic Web (also known as Web 3.0) technologies (e.g., RDF(S), OWL, etc.) can help in the representation and processing of the different WIS design models aiming for an improved interoperability. One example of such a model is the user profile which is often described using a CC/PP vocabulary. Due to their focus on distribution over the Web, Semantic Web representation languages prove to be useful also for specifying the semantics of data and the semantics of interfaces in order to facilitate the integration of heterogeneous databases and Web services, respectively. The best practice recommendation of Linked Data allows Web applications to seamlessly publish, interconnect, and access information on the Semantic Web. The inference mechanisms of the Semantic Web (captured in the semantics of the representation language or in rule-based languages like RuleML and SWRL) can be used for deriving new information or building intelligent services on the Web. Over the last few years, Web services have offered new opportunities to deploy WIS. Web services are independent from specific platforms and computing paradigms, and have the capacity to form composed processes, referred to as composite Web services. Web services composition fulfils user requests that require the participation of several component Web services. Several composition languages are now available (e.g., BPEL, WSFL, etc.). Semantic descriptions of Web services are also proposed for automating composition (e.g., OWL-S, WSMO, WSDL-S, etc.). A research topic that is worth pursuing is the modeling of these composite Web services. Goal of the Workshop -------------------- The aim of the workshop is to provide a platform for bringing together researchers, practitioners, designers, and users of WIS and discuss how specific issues of Web Information Systems (WIS) design can be addressed by means of modeling. Specifically, we will discuss how the influence of Semantic Web technology can help in a model-driven WIS development. Thus, the workshop should enable a fruitful exchange of ideas in the state-of-the-art of WIS modeling. Topics of Interest ------------------ The workshop topics include but are not limited to: * Methodologies for WIS Design * WIS Architectures * WIS Adaptability * WIS Personalization * WIS Evolution * Semistructured Data in WIS * Data Models in WIS * Query Languages in WIS * Integration of WIS * Optimization Techniques for WIS * Security in WIS * Business Rules in WIS * Web Services in WIS * WIS Ubiquity * Social WIS * Rich Client WIS * Web Metadata in WIS * Ontologies in WIS * Linked Data in WIS * Semantic Web Information Systems Paper Submission ---------------- Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a paper related to one (or more) of the workshop topics. The page limit for workshop papers is 10 pages. Papers should be formatted according to Springer LNCS style http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The organizers will oversee a peer-review process for the submitted papers. Manuscripts not submitted in the LNCS style or having more than 10 pages will not be reviewed and thus automatically rejected. The papers need to be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference, or journal. Papers should be submitted to wism2012(a)ese.eur.nl in PDF format.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] [Deadline extended to 2/6/2012] CFP Agent-Directed Simulation, March 26-29, 2012, Orlando, FL, USA Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 16:05:19 -0600 (CST) From: Yu Zhang <yzhang(a)CS.Trinity.Edu> Reply-To: Yu Zhang <yzhang(a)CS.Trinity.Edu> To: Agent-Directed Simulation <yzhang(a)trinity.edu> [Note that the deadline has been extended to 2/6/2012] =============================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS and POSTERS Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium (ADS'12) Florida Hotel and Conference Center, Orlando, FL, USA March 26-29, 2012 http://www.scs.org/springsim/2012?q=node/205 Manuscript Submission: February 6, 2012. Sponsored by The Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). Co-located with the 2012 SISO Spring Simulation Interoperability Workshop (SIW) ============================================================== As part of the 2012 Spring Simulation Multi-conference (SpringSim'12) http://www.scs.org/springsim/2012 the 2012 Agent-Directed Simulation Symposium is a premier platform to explore all three aspects of the synergy of simulation and agent technologies. Hence, it has a special place within simulation and agent conferences, including agent-based (social) simulation conferences. Therefore the ADS symposium fills a gap in the agent community as well as the simulation community. The purpose of the ADS symposium is to facilitate dissemination of the most recent advancements in the theory, methodology, application, and toolkits of agent-directed simulation. Agent-directed simulation is comprehensive in the integration of agent and simulation technologies, by including models that use agents to develop domain-specific simulations, i.e., agent simulation (this is often referred to as agent-based simulation -when other two important aspects are not considered), and by also including the use of agent technology to develop simulation techniques and toolkits that are subsequently applied, either with or without agents. Hence, agent-directed simulation consists of three distinct, yet related areas that can be grouped under two categories as follows: 1. Simulation for Agents (agent simulation): simulation of agent systems in engineering, human and social dynamics, military applications etc. 2. Agents for Simulation (which has two aspects): agent-supported simulation deals with the use of agents as a support facility to enable computer assistance in problem solving or enhancing cognitive capabilities; and agent-based simulation that focuses on the use of agents for the generation of model behavior in a simulation study. Through the theme of agent-directed simulation, the symposium will bring together agent technologies, tools, toolkits, platforms, languages, methodologies, and applications in a pragmatic manner. In this symposium, established researchers, educators, and students are encouraged to come together and discuss the benefits of agent technology in their use and application for simulation. It is a way for people to discuss why and how they have used agent technology in their simulations, and describe the benefit of having done so. The theme of ADS'12 is based on the observation of the following premises. * The growth of new advanced distributed computing standards along with the rapid rise of e-commerce are providing a new context that acts as a critical driver for the development of next generation systems. These standards revolve around service-oriented technologies, pervasive computing, web-services, Grid, autonomic computing, ambient intelligence etc. The supporting role that intelligent agents play in the development of such systems is becoming pervasive, and simulation plays a critical role in the analysis and design of such systems. * The use of emergent agent technologies at the organization, interaction (e.g., coordination, negotiation, communication) and agent levels (i.e. reasoning, autonomy) are expected to advance the state of the art in various application technologies is difficult. Using agent-supported simulation techniques for testing complex agent systems is up and coming field. * To facilitate bridging the gap between research and application, there is a need for tools, agent programming languages, and methodologies to analyze, design, and implement complex, non-trivial agent-based simulations. Existing agent-based simulation tools are still not mature enough to enable developing agents with varying degrees cognitive and reasoning capabilities. ADS 2012 will provide a leading forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse simulation societies within computer science, social sciences, engineering, business, education, human factors, and systems engineering. The involvement of various agent-directed simulation groups will enable the cross-fertilization of ideas and development of new perspectives by fostering novel advanced solutions, as well as enabling technologies for agent-directed simulation AUTHOR GUIDELINES * Technical papers provide a longer format for presenting experience reports, research results, or descriptions of "work in progress". They are limited to 8 pages. * Short position papers are targeted at raising a question or framing an issue for discussion during the symposium. Position papers are limited to 3 pages. * Poster presentations present an opportunity to present work in progress and receive feedback from colleagues. A one page write-up of the poster presentations will be included in the proceedings. Formatting guidelines and author instructions are available at http://www.scs.org/conferences . Papers should be submitted electronically to http://www.softconf.com/scs/ADS12 . All papers will be subject to a peer-reviewing process by three program committee members. (Please see the key dates listed below) FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES All prospective authors, whose papers are accepted for inclusion in the program, will be invited to submit their position or technical papers to ADS'12. Accepted and registered papers will be published in the conference proceedings by the SCS. The committee will select a set of best papers. Authors of these papers will be encouraged to submit appropriately expanded versions of these papers for journal publication.

All submissions should be appropriately anonymized (i.e., papers should not contain author names or affiliations, or obvious citations). Submissions are to be made to the submission web site at http://www.insticc.org/Primoris. Two categories of papers can be submitted: - Full Paper: A full paper presents a work where the research is completed or almost finished. Authors of regular submitted papers will indicate at the time of submission whether they would like their paper to also be considered for publication as a position paper. - Position Paper: A position paper presents results that are preliminary or that simply require few pages to describe. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures, or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics. The acceptance of a position paper is restricted to the categories of "short paper" or "poster". Submitted papers must be formatted according to the SECRYPT format (with the exception that authors should be blinded in the submission), which is described at http://secrypt.icete.org/paper_formats.asp. Submission page limit is 10 pages for full paper and 6 pages for position papers. Accepted papers will be subject to the limit of: 10 pages (for full papers), 6 pages (for short papers), and 4 pages (for posters). Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All submissions should be anonymized. All accepted papers/posters will be published in the conference proceedings. A short list of presented papers will be selected so that revised and extended versions of these papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in a CCIS Series book. Authors of accepted papers/posters must guarantee that their papers/posters will be presented at the conference. IMPORTANT DATES Full Paper submission: March 5, 2012 Authors Notification (full papers): May 4, 2012 Final Full Paper Submission and Registration: May 14, 2012 CONFERENCE CHAIR Mohammad S.

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: AMCIS 2012 Minitrack "IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement"

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: AMCIS 2012 Minitrack "IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement" Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 21:48:10 +0100 From: Nils.Urbach(a)ebs.edu To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ************************************************* CALL FOR PAPERS 18th Americas Conference on Information Systems Seattle, Washington, August 9-12, 2012 (http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/) Track: Strategic Use of Information Technology Mini-Track Title: IT/IS Evaluation & Performance Measurement ************************************************* DESCRIPTION Annual worldwide spending on information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) has been increasing for many years. For 2011, Gartner expects, for example, the total expenditure on IT to reach 2.5 trillion US dollars (Gartner 2010). Simultaneously, however, a greater number of IS failures are still emerging. A questionnaire-based survey, carried out in 2006 in the USA, had indicated that only 62% of software projects were considered successful (Verner et al. 2006). The paradox of high investments and low productivity returns has, therefore, remains a top concern for both practitioners and researchers (Brynjolfsson 1993). During the last two and a half decades, research on measuring IS success has been a popular stream of research. A number of models have been proposed in attempts to define IS success ( DeLone and McLean 1992, 1993) and identify various causes of success or failure, mostly from an individual perspective. Complementary, the research stream on the business value of IT (e.g., Kohli and Grover 2008, Melville et al. 2004) has focused on the benefits from a broader â?? in most cases the organizational â?? perspective. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this minitrack are encouraged to present their research into strategies, methodologies, tools, and stories that relate to the evaluation of IT/IS and IS/IT performance measurement. SUGGESTED TOPICS Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to, the following: o Strategies, methodologies, tools, and case studies that relate to the evaluation of IT/IS and IS/IT performance measurement. o Frameworks and models for assessing IS success/effectiveness and IT business value o Measuring IS success/IT business value in global organizations and globally dispersed communities o Impact of strategic, organizational, process-related, cultural, and other issues on IS success/IT business value o Critical discussion of existing approaches o IS success factors and key performance indicators o Qualitative and quantitative evaluation techniques o Benefits management/measurement o Benchmarking initiatives comparing IS across different organizations and industries o Empirical studies are also solicited that evaluate specific types of IS such as: - Customer Relationship Management Systems - Project (Portfolio) Management Systems - Knowledge Management Systems - Decision Support Systems - Collaborative Systems - Enterprise Systems - IT service management frameworks o Case studies of IS success and performance evaluation IMPORTANT DATES January 2, 2012 Submission opens March 1, 2012 Submission deadline April 2, 2012 Notification of acceptance April 20, 2012 Final camera-ready copy due INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012.
