Emerging from e-business ideas in the late 1990s, e-government is seen as a concept that is focused on fully exploiting these advancements unlike any other initiative seen before in the public sector. Initially viewed as an alternative service delivery mechanism, e-government is now considered as a key enabler of public sector transformation for effective governance, transparency and accountability and citizen participation in democratic processes and policy making. E-government influences every aspect of daily life and covers a broad range of topics from service delivery to constituent participation and technology adoption to electronic governance. *Mini-Tracks* Success Factors and Enablers for the Adoption and Diffusion of e-Government Services ICT-enabled Crisis Response and Management Social Aspects of Public Sector Information Systems E-Government Trust and Information Security Issues and Concerns E-Government: Past, Present, and Future IT-Shared Services View the mini-track descriptions at http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/index.php/program/tracks-and-minitracks Submit your article at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2012by midnight PST on *March 1, 2012*. *Track Co-Chairs* ** Dr. Lemuria Carter (corresponding co-chair) School of Business and Economics, Department of Accounting, North Carolina A&T State University, 1601 East Market Street, Greensboro, North Carolina 27411, USA Phone: 336-334-7581 ext. 7013 Email: Ldcarte2(a)ncat.edu <mailto:Ldcarte2@ncat.edu> Dr. Yogesh K.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP for AMCIS 2012 Mini-track on "Ethical Issues in Information Systems"
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP for AMCIS 2012 Mini-track on "Ethical Issues in Information Systems" Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:43:42 +1300 From: Alan Litchfield <alan.litchfield(a)aut.ac.nz> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Track: Philosophical Perspectives in IS (SIGPhilosophy) Mini-track: Ethics in Information Systems Mini-track chairs Alan T Litchfield: Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland, New Zealand. Email: alan.litchfield(a)aut.ac.nz Sutirtha Chatterjee: College of Business, Prairie View A& M University, Texas, USA. Email: suchatterjee(a)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: â??A 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.â?? 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. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: â?? Applications of classical ethical theory â?? Computer crime â?? Ethics in research â?? Ethics issues and arguments on IS related phenomena that include security, knowledge management, strategy, information systems development, collaboration, plus others. â?? Ethics issues and arguments that face IS researchers and academics in the preparation and execution of their practice. â?? Ethics of information use and misuse, especially in an increasingly networked world â?? Ethics of professionals and practitioners â?? Globalization of computerization and its effect on society â?? Intellectual property issues â?? Logic versus moral responsibility â?? Matching computer use against human values â?? Pedagogical issues in ethics education â?? Privacy and anonymity issues â?? The encroachment of information technologies into the lives of people â?? The ethics of distance learning in advanced education â?? The impacts of social networking on the work place â?? The use and misuse of computers in the workplace References Moor, J. (1985) â??What Is Computer Ethics?â?? Metaphilosophy, 16(4): 266-75. Chatterjee, S., Sarker, S., and Fuller, M. (2009).

Fwd: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: AMCIS 2012 CFP: Minitrack on Intersectionality of Identities in Information Technology Usage, Participation, and Behavior
by Gustaf Neumann 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: AMCIS 2012 CFP: Minitrack on Intersectionality of Identities in Information Technology Usage, Participation, and Behavior Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 20:27:25 -0500 From: A.J. Morgan <ajmorgan.hu(a)gmail.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Second Call for Papers for AMCIS 2012 Minitrack on Intersectionality of Identities in Information Technology Usage, Participation, and Behavior Track: Social Issues and Social Inclusion Track Description: With the full integration of technology into many aspects of daily life- personal, professional, and social- it is of importance to evaluate the usefulness of this technology from a multitude of perspectives. Increased focus on factors such as globalization, innovation, and diversity are escalating the need for these valuable perspectives. Therefore, it is important to not only investigate how technology is being used, but to understand more deeply who the users of the technology are. In an effort to do so, studies of IT users, workers, and behaviors must expand their examination beyond single-category analyses. Rather than looking at human differences through a single lens (such as race or gender alone), utilizing an intersectional perspective of multiple identities may uncover meaningful realizations about those interacting with technology. Intersectionality, in this context, reflects the position that the experiences of an individual are influenced by a myriad of factors including race, gender, age, socio-economic status, sexuality, geographic location, and education level, among others. These factors may interact in ways which provide a person with added opportunities or obstacles in their interaction with technology. The notion of intersectionality of individuals with respect to IT is a developing research area which examines the complexity of how individual differences may interplay and interact. Studies on the topic have noted that the use of this perspective is critical understanding the ability to attract and retain minority talent in the IT workforce (Yakura, 2006; Kvasny, 2003); Kvasny et al., 2009; Trauth et al., 2008, Gurrier et al., 2009), the experiences of users of health-care IT systems (Warren, 2010; Morgan, 2009), and political participation (Lettis, 2006). In particular, the use of intersectional analyses will help to further the discourse around social inclusion and Information technology by developing an added breadth of knowledge around technology users. This track invites papers that focus on the intersection of identity characteristics and/or human differences with respect to the use of, participation in, or behavior with information technology. I am interested in including papers that are both conceptually and empirically based. Suggested Topics: The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: ? The influence of the intersection of race, gender, and culture on adoption and use of information and communication technologies (ICT) ? Analysis of the digital divide from a multilayered demographic perspective ? Demographic analyses of Information Technology workers and/or the underrepresentation of minority groups in technical work ? The role of intersectionality in health?care IT use and behavior ? How human differences improve or affect the use of or participation with ICT among socially inclusive communities ? The role of multiple user characteristics in information searching, retrieval, or human information behavior ? The analysis of multiple identities in cyberspace or social networking communities ? Use of technology for health, education and economic development for greater social inclusion of individuals and/or organizations References: Guerrier, Y., Evans, C., Glover, J., Wilson, C.

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: FOIS Workshop on Ontology Driven IS Engineering

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: FOIS Workshop on Ontology Driven IS Engineering Datum: Wed, 1 Feb 2012 14:16:18 +0000 Von: Sergio de Cesare <sergio.decesare(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** 4th International Workshop on Ontology Driven IS Engineering (ODISE) URL: http://people.brunel.ac.uk/~cssrssc/events/odise2012/ co-located with Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS) 2012 - http://www.kr-med.org/icbofois2012/fois.htm Graz, Austria - 24-27 July 2012 *** Theme *** Ontologies are becoming increasingly popular in the development of information systems. Their use however is mainly limited to either the initial or end phases of the lifecycle, namely business modelling and implementation, and their adoption is normally not characterised by an integrated and coherent end to end approach which systematically discovers the real-world semantics of business requirements, represents such semantics in formal ontologies and subsequently grounds the software design and implementation ontologically. What is also lacking is a sound approach to ontological reuse such that existing ontological patterns be used to drive the discovery of system requirements with the potential to more easily identifying previously developed software components which can be semantically mapped to those ontological patterns. Ontology-Driven Information Systems Engineering (ODISE, pronounced odyssey) concerns the practical and formal application of ontologies to all phases of the software development lifecycle. Contributions in the form of research, research-in-progress papers and practitioner reports are welcome. Of particular interest to the workshop are contributions that emphasise formal ontologies and real world semantics in improving IS engineering and contributing toward developing software that is more adaptive and responsive to changing business requirements. This workshop is aimed at discussing the above themes and to bring together academics, researchers and practitioners (with a background in IS engineering and/or ontology development) in order to develop an agenda of future collaborations that combine research and industrial expertise. Topics for contributions include, but are not limited to: - Ontology as a means to inform the process of gathering requirements. - Ontology as a means to inform architecture development directly from requirements specifications. - Ontology as a means to inform the software design directly from the architecture specification. - Ontology as a means to model the software development process and the software product itself. - Ontologies as run-time artefacts or to inform the design of run-time artefacts. - The role of ontology reasoning in the software engineering process. - The role of ontologies in model-driven development. - Philosophical ontologies (3D vs. 4D) and their role in IS development - Comparison of different ODISE mechanisms (e.g. domain-specific modelling, profiling, etc.). - Comparison of the role of foundational ontologies vs. domain ontologies in ODISE. - Ontology driven development of service software. - Methodological issues for ODISE. - Problems of semantic mismatch between traditional IS modelling paradigms, approaches, techniques, etc. and ontological modelling. - Ontology-based development/modelling/programming languages. *** Important Dates and Submission *** Authors are invited to submit papers via EasyChair. Please check the workshop Web site for further instructions. Deadlines are as follows: 30 April 2012: Submission deadline for ODISE paper 31 May 2012: Notification of acceptance 21 June 2012: Revisions due 24 July 2012: Workshop *** Organisers *** Sergio de Cesare (Brunel University, U.K.) Frederik Gailly (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium) Grant Holland (Organic Complex Systems Institute, U.S.A.)

Munoz (NSF Program Director and Consultant), Prof. Jun Liu (pioneer, Broad Institute of MIT& Harvard U.), Prof. Lotfi A. Zadeh (Father of Fuzzy Logic), Dr. Firouz Naderi (Head, NASA Mars Exploration Program/2000-2005 and Associate Director, Project Formulation& Strategy, Jet Propulsion Lab, CalTech/NASA; Director, NASA's JPL Solar System Exploration), Prof. David Lorge Parnas (Fellow of IEEE, ACM, RSC, CAE, GI; Dr.h.c.: ETH Zurich, Prof. Emeritus, McMaster U. and U. of Limerick), Prof. Eugene H. Spafford (Executive Director, CERIAS and Professor, Purdue University), Dr. Sandeep Chatterjee (Vice President& Chief Technology Officer, SourceTrace Systems, Inc.), and many other distinguished speakers. To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 67969 MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF WORLDCOMP: As of November 23, 2011, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of proceedings have received 15,860 citations. In recent months (March to November 2011), there had been 1,475 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 164 citations per month). The above record is significant (thanks to the authors). As the result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the congress among its compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of WORLDCOMP set of proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many reputable journals in computer science and computer engineering. (The above citation data does not include citations to WORLDCOMP papers published in 2011; thus, it is highly probable that the actual number of citations is higher; citation data was obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ ) USEFUL WEB LINKS: Web site of PDPTA'12: http://www.world-academy-of-science.org/ The Table of Contents of last offering of PDPTA (2011) appears at: http://world-comp.org/proc2011/pdpta/contents-vol-i.pdf CONTACT: Inquiries should be sent to: editor(a)world-comp.org =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This email was sent to: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at To opt out of this email list: http://world-comp.org/cgi-bin/rm/full.cgi?60DD6214-5F75-11DE-8C2B-D40E0F3C4…
