-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS mini-track: ICT in emerging markets Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 11:08:24 -0600 (CST) From: Shana Ponelis <ponelis(a)uwm.edu> To: aisworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> AMCIS 2012 Seattle, Washington August 9-12, 2012 Track: ICTs in Global Development (SIGGlobDev) Mini-track: ICT IN EMERGING MARKETS Emerging markets, which include BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), Mexico, Argentina, South Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and Turkey, have been long overlooked but are poised for explosive growth and opportunity: although these markets currently account for approximately 20 percent of the world's economy, Van Agtmael (2007) predicts that this figure will grow to 50 percent within 25 years. These countries are embracing ICT for socio-economic development and yet mainstream IS research remains focused on the issues related to ICT in developed, mature economies in North America and Europe (Roztocki and Weistroffer, 2008). Increasing our understanding of the possibilities and limitations of ICT and how to promote its adoption and use in emerging markets is therefore of vital interest to information systems researchers and practitioners. The objective of this mini-track is to encourage reflection and redefinition of emerging market countriesâ?? digital future by providing a forum for interested authors to disseminate their research, compare results, and exchange ideas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Drivers and barriers for ICT adoption in emerging markets * E-government, e-health, or e-learning applications in emerging markets * Innovative applications of ICTs emerging market countries, including mobile applications * Acceptance and use of cloud computing in emerging market contexts * User interfaces, information presentation and local language adaptation * Research frameworks to study ICT in emerging market countries * Impact of emerging markets on the ICT industry * ICT for socio-economic development in emerging markets * ICT infrastructure in emerging market countries * ICT policy in in emerging market countries * Strategies for addressing the digital divide and information poverty * Information and computer literacy in emerging market countries * Indigenous knowledge systems and ICT in emerging market countries * ICT and social entrepreneurship in emerging market countries * Ethical aspects of ICTs in emerging markets, including e-waste * Country-specific case studies of ICT adoption or use IMPORTANT DATES: 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 June 12, 2012: Last day for AMCIS 2012 early registration July 13, 2012: Deadline for making hotel room reservations July 24, 2012: Last day for AMCIS 2012 regular registration Instructions for authors and more information about the conference at: http://amcis2012.aisnet.org/ MINI-TRACK CHAIRS: Marlene Holmner, University of Pretoria, South Africa, marlene.holmner(a)up.ac.za Neels Kruger, University of Pretoria, South Africa, neels.kruger(a)up.ac.za Shana Ponelis, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA, ponelis(a)uwm.edu <mailto:ponelis@uwm.edu> References: Roztocki, N. and Weistroffer, H.R. 2008.

In formal and applied ontology, modularity is central to reducing the complexity of designing and understanding ontologies, and to facilitating ontology verification, reasoning, development, maintenance and integration. Recent research on ontology modularity shows substantial progress in foundations of modularity, techniques of modularization and modular development, distributed reasoning and empirical evaluation. These results provide a solid foundation and exciting prospects for further research and development. The workshop continues a series of successful events that have been an excellent venue for practitioners and researchers to discuss latest and current work; the most recent WoMOs were held at FOIS 2010 and ESSLLI 2011. TOPICS include, but are not limited to: - What is modularity?: kinds of modules and their properties; modules vs. contexts; design patterns; granularity of representation; - Logical/foundational studies: conservativity; modular ontology languages; reconciling inconsistencies across modules; formal structuring of modules; heterogeneity; - Algorithmic approaches: distributed and incremental reasoning; modularization and module extraction; sharing, linking, reuse; privacy; evaluation of modularization approaches; complexity of reasoning; implemented systems; - Applications: semantic web; life sciences; bio-ontologies; natural language processing; space and time; ambient intelligence; social intelligence; collaborative ontology development and ontology versioning. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: May 11, 2012 Notification: June 12, 2012 Camera ready: July 1, 2012 Workshop: July 24, 2012 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: We welcome submissions on modularity in a broad sense.

Socially intelligent computational systems bring together people and computers, support the creation of radically new forms of collaboration, communication and intelligence and allow the generation of new, emergent behaviors. Socially Intelligent Computing research is closely related to two other areas of research: "social computing", i.e. the design and use of information and communication technologies that consider social context; and to the field of "collective intelligence", i.e. systems that facilitate the collective behavior of groups of individual actors - people, computational agents, and organizations - and exhibit intelligent characteristics such as perception, learning, judgment, or problem solving. The International Workshop on Socially Intelligent Computing (SINCOM) addresses all technological aspects of socially intelligent computing, that span a variety of issues from advanced collaborative systems to using semantic technologies and the web of linked open data to support sociality in computational systems. The workshop aims to attract research that addresses either intra- and cross-enterprise settings or uses intelligent computing infrastructures that exploit social media on the web. There is no restriction in the application focus of work to be submitted: papers from different domains ranging from e.g. corporate idea management to citizen engagement are welcome. The objective of the 1st International Workshop on Socially Intelligent Computing is to bring together researchers, developers and practitioners to discuss research issues and experiences in the study, development and deployment of Socially Intelligent Computing concepts, applications, and systems. The workshop will provide an international forum for the presentation of both theoretical and practical results aiming at the identification of items for a research agenda. TOPICS OF INTEREST --------------------- Topics that are addressed by SINCOM'12 include but are not limited to the following: Socially Intelligent Computing principles and approaches * Theories and Methodologies for Socially Intelligent Computing * Modeling of Social Behavior in Social Computational Systems * Architectures and Design of Socially Intelligent Computational Systems Social Media Management within Social Computational Systems * Social Media Analytics and Monitoring * Using Social Media to Predict the Future * Sentiment Analysis and Opinion Mining * Stream Processing of Social Data and Social Activities Semantic Web and Linked Data for Social Computational Systems * Ontologies for Socially Intelligent Computing * Integration of heterogeneous social data * Merging social data and Linked Open Data Leveraging Social Networks for Socially Intelligent Computing * Discovery, Collection, and Extraction of Social Network Data * Privacy Policies for Social Networks * Privacy and Security Tradeoffs in Social Networks * Visualization of Social Networks * Services in Social Networks Information Retrieval and Recommendations for Socially Intelligent Computing * Social Recommender Systems * Machine Learning Methods for Socially Intelligent Computing Social Intelligence within and across Enterprises * Human Computation and Crowdsourcing * Wisdom of crowds applications (e.g., prediction markets) * Crowdsourcing in Enterprises Management IMPORTANT DATES --------------------- Abstract Submission deadline: May 18, 2012 Paper Submission deadline: May 25, 2012 Acceptance Notification: July 2, 2012 Camera-Ready due: July 16, 2012 Author Registration due: July 16, 2012 SINCOM'12 Workshop: September 13 - 14, 2012 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES --------------------- Papers submitted to SINCOM'12 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Papers RIGiM'12 Workshop, in Conjunction with ER'12 Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:23:17 -0500 From: Jennifer Horkoff <jenhork(a)cs.utoronto.ca> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ** Call for Papers RIGiM'12** 4th International Workshop on Requirements, Intentions and Goals in Conceptual Modeling (RIGiM'12) in Conjunction with the 31st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER'12) Florence, Italy 15-18th October, 2012 Paper submission deadline: April 23th, 2012 Web site: https://sites.google.com/site/rigim12/ ** Organizers ** * Colette Rolland - Universite Paris 1 Pantheon - Sorbonne, France. * Jaelson Castro - Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Brazil. * Camille Salinesi - Universite Paris 1 Pantheon - Sorbonne, France. * Eric Yu - University of Toronto, Canada. * Jennifer Horkoff - University of Toronto, Canada. ** Scope and Topics *** The use of intentional concepts, the notion of "goal" in particular, has been prominent in recent approaches to requirements engineering. Goal-oriented frameworks and methods for requirements engineering (GORE) have been keynote topics at requirements engineering conferences, and at major software engineering conferences. What are the conceptual modelling foundations in these approaches? Traditionally information system engineering has made the assumption that an information system captures some excerpt of world history and hence has concentrated on modeling information about the Universe of Discourse. This is done through conceptual modeling that aims at abstracting the specification of the required information system, i.e., the conceptual schema, from an analysis of the relevant aspects of the Universe of Discourse about which the user community needs information. This specification concentrates on what the system should do, that is, on its functionality, serving as a prescription for system construction. Whereas conceptual modelling allowed system developers to understand the semantic of information and led to a large number of semantically powerful conceptual models, experience demonstrates that it often fails in supporting the delivery of systems that were accepted by the community of users. Indeed, a number of studies have shown that many systems fail due to an inadequate understanding of the requirements they seek to address. Furthermore, the amount of effort needed to fix these systems has been found to be very high. To correct this situation, it is necessary to view information systems as fulfilling some purpose in an organisation. Understanding purpose, goals, and intentions is a necessary condition for the design of successful systems. Conceptual modelling therefore needs to go beyond functionality requirements that specify the 'what', to encompass the deeper contextual understanding of the 'whys'. The 'why' questions are answered in terms of organisational objectives and the desires and motivations of stakeholders and participants. Modelling the 'whys' helps focus requirements elicitation, validation, and specification. Goal-oriented approaches in requirements engineering have emerged to meet this expectation. The Workshop aims to provide a forum for discussing the interplay between requirements engineering and conceptual modeling, and in particular, to investigate how goal- and intention-driven approaches help in conceptualising purposeful systems. What are the fundamental objectives and premises of requirements engineering and conceptual modelling respectively, and how can they complement each other? What are the demands on conceptual modelling from the standpoint of requirements engineering? What conceptual modelling techniques can be further taken advantage of in requirements engineering? What are the upcoming modelling challenges and issues in GORE? What are the unresolved open questions? What lessons are there to be learnt from industrial experiences? What empirical data are there to support the cost-benefit analysis when adopting GORE methods? Are there applications domains or types of project settings for which goals and intentional approaches are particularly suitable or not suitable? What degree of formalization and automation or interactivity are feasible and appropriate for what types of participants during requirements engineering? e.g., business domain stakeholders, requirements modelers, ontology engineers, etc. **Topics** Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * modeling and semantics in GORE frameworks * analysis and reasoning with intentions and goals * ontological and epistemological foundations * cognitive, behavioral, and sociological perspectives * goals, scenarios, and business process modeling * goals and viewpoints, management of conflicts and inconsistencies * goals in requirements and design patterns * goals in reuse * goals and traceability * goals and aspects * change management, versioning and view management for GORE * visualization and tool support for GORE * software engineering process and organization for GORE * GORE and agile methods * GORE in distributed software development * GORE for COTS system development and selection * GORE for product families and high-variability software * GORE for adaptive systems and agile enterprise * comparison and evaluation of GORE approaches * industrial experiences and empirical studies * GORE for services design and engineering * GORE and business modeling and strategy reasoning * goal-oriented conceptual modeling for security, privacy, and trust * goal-oriented modeling for user experience and interaction design * goal-oriented modeling of system architecture * interaction and integration with other conceptual modeling paradigms, e.g., object-oriented and agent-oriented models * goal-oriented modeling for specific application domains - e.g., healthcare, e-government, mobile commerce, ambient intelligence, social media and networks ** Format and Duration ** We aim for a highly interactive forum.

Fwd: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Call for Papers: Enterprise Architecture & Organizational Success minitrack

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2012 Call for Papers: Enterprise Architecture & Organizational Success minitrack Datum: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 13:32:59 -0500 Von: Alberto Espinosa <alberto(a)american.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2012 - Call for Papers Mini-Track: Enterprise Architecture & Organizational Success Enterprise Architecting (EA) is the process of developing an enterprise Information Technology architecture -- both its description and its implementation. An EA description focuses on a holistic and integrated view of the why, where, and who uses IT systems and how and what they are used for within an organization. An enterprise architect (and his/her team) develops the strategy and enables the decisions for designing, developing, and deploying IT systems to support the business operations as well as to assess, select, and integrate the technology into the organization's infrastructure. Alignment between business and IT has remained one of the top three issues for CIOs and IS managers for several years as reported by CIO magazine. An EA implementation focuses on remediating, renovating, or replacing IT systems in compliance with the EA description to achieve the proposed benefits. EA is central to the execution of business strategies. Organizations vary in their degree of EA maturity. While the research literature has devoted substantial attention to the development of effective EA frameworks and the alignment of business and IT, there is very little empirical evidence about the organizational benefits of EA. For example, we know very little about which processes, approaches or coordination practices lead to an effective architecting effort or whether this effort leads to measurable organizational benefits. Consequently, we are soliciting paper submissions that: advance our knowledge of EA; help us learn about effective processes and approaches to effectively manage the EA; and begin to identify ways to measure the organizational benefits derived from EA. Papers will be solicited in several areas, including, but not limited to the following: . Architecting Processes, Methodologies and Practices . Architectural Frameworks and Theory . Business Process Architecture . Tools and Techniques Supporting Architecting . Service-Oriented Architectures (including Web Services) . System versus Software Architectures . Addressing EA Challenges . Integration of EA with IT Governance and SOA . Surveys and Case Studies . EA and Organizational Success Important dates: March 1st. 2012 Deadline for paper submissions April 6, 2012 Notification of acceptance April 25, 2012 Final copy due Instructions for authors: The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references. All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2010. For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2010 website at http://www.amcis2010.org <http://www.amcis2010.org/> Mini-Track Co-Chairs Frank Armour, Kogod School of Business, American University, farmour(a)american.edu J.
