A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. 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". Please check further details about position papers submission at the conference website (http://www.iceis.org/SubmissionGuidelines.aspx).

Fast growing emerging economies, including transition economies, are often considered the growth engine of the global economy. Unfortunately, despite the fast growth of emerging economies, the economic gap between emerging economies and the mature, developed countries still exists. It seems that in order to truly close this gap, new management techniques, new business models, and new regulatory policies, among other factors are needed. Moreover, it could be expected that information and communication technologies (ICTs) will play a vital role in this process. Thus, the objective of this conference is to provide a forum for interested researchers and practitioners for exchanging their creative ideas on these issues. Possible contributions regarding the ICT management for global competitiveness and economic growth in emerging economies may include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Social, political and legal frameworks and ICT Management in emerging and transition economies 2. Unique ICT management techniques for emerging and transition economies 3. Methods for measuring the benefits and costs of projects involving the adoption of ICT 4. The role of human and social capital 5. Innovative ways for generating revenues creating commercial knowledge products in emerging and transition economies 6. Educational systems and ICT Management in emerging and transition economies 7. ICT to support small and medium firms in emerging and transition economies 8. ICT management in small businesses as a path to economic growth 9. ICT productivity studies at the country, industry or firm level, with specific reference to the social and business conditions prevalent in emerging or transition economies 10. Global supply chain management and its contribution to emerging and transition economies 11. Country specific case studies, with specific reference to the social and business conditions prevalent in emerging and transition economies 12.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Last Cfp: Pre-ECIS workshop IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Intervention – Extended deadline
by Gustaf Neumann 14 Mar '12

14 Mar '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Last Cfp: Pre-ECIS workshop IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Intervention – Extended deadline Datum: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:56:05 +0100 Von: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> /Last Call for papers / A Pre-ECIS and AIS SIG Prag Workshop on *IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Intervention* June 10, 2012, Barcelona ---------- */Extended time for submission: April 1 /*----------*//* *Invitation* An international workshop for IS scholars interested in one or more of the following related issues: ·design science research ·theorizing the IT artefact ·action research and other intervention strategies ·theorizing practices and work-systems ·the use of action-oriented theories in IS ·practice relevance and usefulness of IS research ·researcher-practitioner collaboration ·engaged scholarship ·practice research ·pragmatist epistemology There is a growing interest in IS research for research strategies aiming for design and change. This can be pursued through design science research (Hevner et al, 2004), action research (Davison et al, 2004) or combinations thereof (Sein et al, 2011). Accompanying an interest for the design of IT artefacts is a quest for theorizing the IT artefact (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001). Improved understanding of IT artefacts is needed in relation to their design, use and evolution. An improved understanding of the context of IT artefacts is needed as well. There is growing interest to theorize the context as practices (Feldman & Orlikowski, 2011; Goldkuhl, 2011) or work-systems (Alter, 2006). This includes an interest for the combined social and material characters of such practices (Orlikowski & Scott, 2008). The interest for design and change follows the claim for relevance and usefulness of IS research (Benbasat & Zmud, 1999) and the importance of researcher-practitioner collaboration (Mathiassen, 2002). This kind of research orientation have been giving different labels like e.g. engaged scholarship (Van de Ven, 2007; Mathiassen & Nielsen, 2008), mode 2 knowledge production (Nowotny et al, 2001), practice research (Mathiassen, 2002; Goldkuhl, 2011) or practical science (Gregor, 2008). Pivotal in this search for more relevant and useful research is the articulation of supportive, prescriptive and normative knowledge. This can take the form of design theory (Gregor & Jones, 2007) or the broader notion of practical theory (Cronen, 2001; Goldkuhl, 2007). In order to bring these different threads together we must turn to pragmatist epistemology. There is a re-introduction of pragmatism as a viable research paradigm in some social sciences (Wicks & Freeman, 1998; Fishman, 1999) including information systems (Goles & Hirschheim, 2000; Ågerfalk, 2010; Goldkuhl, 2012) as manifested by the formation of the AIS Special Interest Group on Pragmatist IS Research (SIGPRag) in 2008 (www.sigprag.org). The pragmatist foundations of design science research (Lee & Nickerson, 2010) and action research (Baskerville & Myers, 2004) have also been acknowledged. Pragmatist epistemology joins together the different threads described above: ·Knowledge in the making ·Relevant and useful knowledge ·Knowledge of actions and practices The purpose of this workshop is to bring together scholars interested in one or more of these pragmatist threads. This is done in order to weave a pragmatist web to be more powerful in its knowledge generation and use. Theoretical reflections and concrete examples are demanded! *Dates and submission details * /Submissions/: April 1, 2012 (Extended time!) /Notification/: April 30, 2012 /Final manuscripts/: May 25, 2012 /Workshop/: June 10, 2012, Barcelona, Spain (just before the 20^th European Conference on Information Systems, ECIS-2012) The workshop website is www.vits.org/adwi/.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP (Deadline extended) Special Issue on the Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Modelling Tools (EMISA - An Int'l Journal) Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 22:06:45 +0000 From: Strecker, Stefan <Stefan.Strecker(a)FernUni-Hagen.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISA) An International Journal Call for Papers for the Special Issue on the 'Design, Implementation and Evaluation of Modelling Tools' Deadline for submission of an extended abstract: April 16, 2012 Deadline for submission of the final manuscript: June 4, 2012 Editors of the Special Issue Ulrich Frank, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Andreas Oberweis, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Stefan Strecker, University of Hagen, Germany http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/MobisPortal/pages/specialissues/CfP… Description of Special Issue The effective and efficient use of conceptual modelling methods and modelling languages presupposes the availability of corresponding modelling tools. Modelling tools represent a class of software systems aimed at supporting modellers in constructing, documenting and maintaining conceptual (meta) models and, at the same time, at fostering integrity of models. Particularly with regard to domain-specific modelling (DSM) approaches, the development of graphical modelling tools has gained importance to support model-based analyses and to realise a model-driven software development cycle. The design, implementation and evaluation of modelling tools raises particular software engineering and modelling challenges pertaining, for instance, to model and diagram management, consistency and syntax checking, synchronous and asynchronous collaborative modelling, inter-tool diagram exchange, and model version control. Users of modelling tools are faced by particular challenges resulting, for instance, from partly subtle interdependencies between modelling tool, its meta modelling environment, and the specification as well as application of modelling languages. This Special Issue is dedicated to capturing the current state-of-the art in the area of modelling tool research with a focus on methodical development of modelling tools. We strongly encourage submissions that go beyond 'yet another modelling tool' and invite submissions that address research challenges and direct further research. It is expected that the submissions are based on sound methodical, theoretical, conceptual-analytical and, where appropriate, hermeneutic and/or behaviouristic approaches (e. g. case study-based research). Submissions may not have been submitted or be under consideration elsewhere and must constitute original work. It is possible to submit a major revision of a manuscript already published in workshop or conference proceedings given that the earlier publication is properly referenced. In addition, it must be clearly described and/or marked which parts of the manuscript have been revised and of what nature the changes are. Topics of interests to this Special Issue include but are not limited to: Software development methods dedicated to the development of modelling tools, Systems architectures and architecture modelling for modelling tools, Automated modelling tool generation and corresponding theoretical, technical and practical challenges, Interdependencies between modelling tool, its meta modelling environment, and the specification of modelling languages, Approaches to bridge the gap between modelling languages and implementation languages, Modelling tools for collaborative modelling and solutions to corresponding software development challenges, Design patterns and rules with respect to modelling tool development, Economic analysis of modelling tools and their development, especially under consideration of free and open source software frameworks and platforms, Challenges in modelling tool development and potential solution candidates (e.g., layout algorithms, model versioning, distributed modelling, tool usability), Evaluation and critical review of modelling tools, their architectures, underlying frameworks and platforms, The use of modelling tools in organizations. Experience reports and case studies on modelling tool development, evaluation, and use in practical applications are encouraged as well and will be considered for the special EMISA category of articles, 'Guidelines for Successful Practice', intended to foster the application of modelling methods and languages in organizations. Important dates: 2012-03-31: Optional submission of an extended abstract (max. 4 pages; motivation of research, research method, related work, key results). Submissions of an extended abstract is strongly recommended. 2012-05-01: Deadline for submission of manuscripts. Instructions for authors including guidelines for manuscript preparation are available online. Authors are asked for electronic submissions via the submission management system available at http://www.wi-inf.uni-duisburg-essen.de/ojs/. In case of multiple authors, it is required to name one author who uploads the submission. The submission should include a cover page with the paper's title and the names, affiliations and e-mail addresses of all authors. The first page of the paper starts with the title and does not carry the authors' names. Submissions must be completely anonymous (including document metadata). Submitted manuscripts are accepted either in MS-Word or PDF format. A LaTeX template is available. Submissions should not exceed 7.000 words. In addition to the paper, an abstract (around 150 words) has to be provided. Submitted papers will be reviewed within no more than two months. The review process is double blind. Authors who submit a manuscript guarantee that it has not been published elsewhere, nor is intended to be published elsewhere. Papers that were accepted for publication must be written according to the style defined for the journal. Please keep in mind that the journal EMISA uses British English.

This year CAF is organized in cooperation with the European funded project ALICE (Adaptive Learning via Intuitive/Interactive, Collaborative and Emotional System), http://www.aliceproject.eu. The /International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL)/ is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in interactive computer aided learning. *Background* Our modern life at the beginning of the 21st century is strongly influenced by effects such as rapidly changing and developing information, technology-enhanced communication and information access, and new forms of production and services in a globalized world. This situation requires individuals to adapt their skills and competencies. Consequently, educational objectives and societal expectations have changed significantly in recent years. Modern learning settings must consider learning community aspects as well as learner-centered, knowledge-centered and assessment-centered aspects. By focusing on the assessment, this concept can be further distinguished in (1) summative assessment, performed at the end of a set of learning activities, and (2) formative assessment, which is intended to give continuous feedback to students and teachers. The latter mentioned formative assessment gives information about the current state of knowledge and/or the degree of knowledge acquisition within learning activities. Assessment is an important component of modern teaching and learning processes in face-to-face courses as well as in e-learning environments; it provides valuable feedback to teachers and students which allows the revision and adaptation of teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, assessment activities and results can also be utilized for building and strengthening metacognitive skills. However, continuous and frequent assessment in learning processes may cause excessive efforts and costs. Therefore, computer-assisted assessment systems (CaAS) and computer-based assessment systems (CbAS) have become of increasing interest over the years. Assessment systems may support parts or the entire chain of the assessment lifecycle. This lifecycle includes authoring and management of assessment items, compilation of specific tests, performance of assessments, and compilation and management results. Additionally, emerging interest in the sharing and re-use of assessment items or compiled assessment tests and the exchangeability of assessment outcomes has resulted in standardization efforts, such as the IMS Question & Test Interoperability Specification (IMS QTI). The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organisations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. CAF is interested in novel scientific research, findings from experiments and results from real-life applications. We invite submissions that deal with issues including, but not limited to: * Aspects of formative and summative assessment * History and challenges of e-assessment * Computer-supported assessment rubric * Computer-based knowledge & skill assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported peer assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported self-assessment and group assessment * Computer-based student and teacher feedback about knowledge state and acquisition * Computer-based assessment in adaptive e-learning * Web 2.0 and assessment & feedback for individual and group learning * Assessment in Immersive Educational Environments * Automated essay grading * Natural short answer assessment * Assessment and feedback in computer-based simulations * Assessment and feedback in game-based learning settings * Test & training data and evaluation procedures * Reuse, Interoperability and Standardization * Security and Privacy *Important Dates* * 23 April 2012: Submission of full papers (8 pages) * 28 May 2012: Notification of acceptance * 31 Aug. 2012: Camera ready version (8 pages) * 26.-28.
