-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] HICSS-46 Call for papers for the minitrack on: "CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS" Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 15:02:48 -0600 From: Triparna de Vreede <tdevreede(a)unomaha.edu> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ** HICSS-46 Call for papers for the minitrack on: *"CREATIVITY**AND INNOVATION IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS"* /Part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track/ /of the Forty-Sixth Annual/ /Hawai'i International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS)/ */Maui/*/, HI - January 7-10, 2013/ Papers are invited for the minitrack on "CREATIVITY IN TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS" as part of the Collaboration Systems and Technology Track at the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS). Innovation is a critical force in organizational performance and survival. Changes in technology, globalization, and increased competition have all created an environment in which creativity and innovation are needed in order to cope with situational and economic pressures and frequent changes. Designers and Developers of organizational systems must therefore innovate almost continuously to keep the organization aligned with such changes. Creativity is a critical pre-condition for innovation. Generating novel and creative ideas are the key to innovation and growth in every organization today. Providing employees, customers and partners with tools to think creatively has been proven to increase innovation in organizations. Research shows that organizations which have established skill-bases and tools for creativity outperform the competition in terms of revenue, rolling out new products, innovation and growth. Though organizations deploy groups for most creative processes, there has been little research in the area of group creativity. Most creative research is focused on individual factors affecting creativity. Many challenges that arise from pursuing creativity in teams remain unexplored. This minitrack provides one of the key international platforms on which the following issues can be discussed: 1.Methods & techniques to improve creativity in co-located and distributed groups 2.Design and Evaluation of Systems and technology for enhancing creativity 3. Challenges and opportunities for creativity in teams 4.Theoretical foundations for creativity at individual, group and organizational levels 5.Practical approaches to foster creativity at individual, group and organizational levels 6. The creation and implementation of innovations in teams and organizations 7. Factors affecting creativity in teams and organizations 8. Building team-based organizations 9. Multi-level issues of creativity in teams and organizations 10. Research linking individual creativity to group level creativity and organizational level innovation 11. Multi-disciplinary approaches to creativity 12. Creative collaboration between business partners and customers (e.g. co-creation of products and services) Thus, papers are welcome that contain original ideas on how to improve creativity and innovation through all phases of problem-solving: Understanding a problem, devising potential solutions, evaluating alternatives, making choices, making plans, taking action, and after-action review. We seek papers that suggest methodical, technical, theoretical, or practical improvements for realizing creative ideas in the workforce as innovations, for an organization cannot benefit from its creativity until its ideas are implemented. There are no preferred methodological stances for this minitrack: this minitrack is open to both qualitative and quantitative research, to research from a positivist, interpretivist, or critical perspective, to studies from the lab, from the field, design-oriented or developmental in nature. Themes and topics of relevance to this minitrack include, but are not limited to (related topics not listed are especially welcome): _Creativity techniques and approaches_ ·Creativity methods & techniques to improve creativity in co-located and distributed groups__ ·Measuring the effectiveness of creativity techniques and approaches__ ·Creativity in patterns of collaboration (divergence, convergence, organization, evaluation, and consensus building)__ ·Reusability, trainability, predictability, and transferability of creativity techniques and approaches__ ·Capturing best practices on creativity__ ·Analyzing the nature of the evolving artifacts__ _Tools, technologies, and contexts to support creativity_ ·Theories, guidelines, and strategies for designing creative technologies and systems ·Proof of concepts -- examples of breakthrough technologies and systems supporting creativity ·Use of visualization tools for enhancing creativity ·Role of HCI in creativity processes ·Physical and electronic environments to support creativity ·Idea management tools ·Technologies that support creativity in specific critical collaboration processes, e.g. ·Requirements specification & analysis ·Focus groups ·Delphi processes ·Collaborative planning ·Strategy building ·Collaborative writing ·Communities and Web 2.0 ·Mobile Creativity __ _Creativity in teams and organizations_ ·Analyzing the nature of creative teams and its evolving processes ·Training work group members and work group leaders to think and act creatively ·Innovation management in collaborative contexts ·Success factors for diffusing creativity techniques, approaches, and technologies in organizations · Factors affecting creativity in teams, organizations, and value networks · Building team-based organizations ·Challenges and opportunities for creativity in teams__ ·Practical approaches to foster creativity at individual, group and organizational levels ·Theories on collaborative and organizational creativity __ ·Studies on the efficacy of interventions intended to introduce creativity approaches and technologies in an organization ·Personal and group traits affecting creativity ·Enhancing creativity by appropriate knowledge management ·Creativity in communities and user-generated content ·Creativity in the "enterprise 2.0" ·Creativity in ad-hoc-groups ·Creativity in distributed work groups and processes _Theoretical issues in creativity and innovation_ ·Theories of creative problem solving ·Theories of creative decision making ·Creativity in different socio-cultural environments ·Effects of organizational culture on creativity ·Frameworks for evaluating creativity in the field and in the lab ·Theoretical approaches to understand the effect of individuals, teams, organizations, and the broader environment on creativity ·Instruments and measurements for creativity and innovation ·Group tasks to study creativity ·Theoretical relationships between creativity and organizational productivity MINITRACK COORDINATORS: Roni Reiter-Palmon University of Nebraska at Omaha Department of Psychology Director of Research, The Center for Collaboration Science 1110 South 67^th street, Omaha, NE 68182-0116 USA Phone: (402) 554-4081 E-mail: rreiter-palmon(a)mail.unomaha.edu <mailto:rreiter-palmon@mail.unomaha.edu> Triparna de Vreede *(primary contact)* University of Nebraska at Omaha Department of Psychology Research Associate, The Center for Collaboration Science 1110 South 67^th street, Omaha, NE 68182-0116 USA Phone: (402) 554-2557 E-mail: tdevreede(a)mail.unomaha.edu <mailto:tdevreede@mail.unomaha.edu> Ginamarie Ligon, Ph.D. Mammel Hall, 311 College of Business Administration University of Nebraska at Omaha Visiting Professor, the Center for Collaboration Science 6708 Pine Street Phone: 402-554-2972 Omaha, NE 68182-0048 Email: gligon(a)mail.unomaha.edu <mailto:gligon@mail.unomaha.edu> The purpose of HICSS is to provide a forum for the interchange of ideas, research results, development activities, and applications among academicians and practitioners in computer-based systems sciences.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Semantic Web Journal: Special Call for Surveys on Application Areas of Semantic Technologies Date: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 21:29:45 -0500 From: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> Reply-To: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> To: Pascal Hitzler <pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de> Semantic Web journal Special Call for Surveys on Application Areas of Semantic Technologies <http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/semantic-web-journal-special-call-…> Semantic Web technologies are currently in a transition from research to practice. The amount of progress made in different application areas, however, differs significantly, as do the challenges which lie ahead. The Semantic Web journal calls for survey papers on the state of the art in research, development, and deployment of Semantic Web technologies in specific application areas and domains. Surveys should focus on one specific application area and discuss in a comprehensive way * its importance, * the particular (past, present, and future) challenges faced in applying Semantic technologies in this area, and * the state of the art in developing foundational principles and practical solutions related to this area. Application areas covered may range from those where commercial solutions have already been deployed, to areas where basic research is still under way. They may address very specific needs, e.g., mobile recommender systems, or span broader scientific domains, e.g., the life sciences. Survey articles should have the potential to become well-known introductory and overview texts. They will be reviewed along the following dimensions: (1) Suitability as introductory text, targeted at researchers, students, or practitioners, to get started on the covered topic. (2) How comprehensive and how balanced is the presentation and coverage. (3) Readability and clarity of the presentation. (4) Importance of the covered material to the broader Semantic Web community. Prospective authors must take notice of the submission guidelines posted at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors Authors must submit an intention to contribute, consisting of (tentative) list of authors, (tentative) title, and a short abstract, by March 15th. The reason for this requirement is to avoid that multiple surveys are written on very similar topics. Deadlines: Intention to contribute: March 15th, 2012 Paper submission: May 15th, 2012 First notification: Usually within 8 weeks of submission In case of questions, please contact the Editors-in-chief: Pascal Hitzler Krzysztof Janowicz contact(a)semantic-web-journal.net -- Prof. Dr. Pascal Hitzler Dept. of Computer Science, Wright State University, Dayton, OH pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de http://www.knoesis.org/pascal/ Semantic Web Textbook: http://www.semantic-web-book.org Semantic Web Journal: http://www.semantic-web-journal.net -- 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 Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Special Issue on SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING – International Journal of Social Ecology and Sustainable Development (IJSESD) Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:19:59 +0100 From: Tim A. Majchrzak <tima(a)ercis.de> Reply-To: Tim A. Majchrzak <tima(a)ercis.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ********************* (Second) CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* SUBMISSION DUE DATE: April 30, 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE ON Sustainability Reporting International Journal of Social Ecology and Sustainable Development (IJSESD) Guest Editors: Tim A. Majchrzak and Imke Wasner (University of Münster, Germany) INTRODUCTION: This issue will be devoted to sustainability reporting. Supply chains of multinational corporations often span across several countries, including lower developed countries in which no adequate background institutions have been established. Stakeholders increasingly demand products that have been manufactured responsibly. They have various reasons such as ecological ideals, the ethical obligation, or economic motives. In recent years, reports that shed light onto a company´s performance regarding a sustainable economic behavior have become popular. These reports are expected to also include information on how companies use their power to influence their supply chain. Whether seen as an expected necessity or used for purposes of marketing, the number of filed reports is rapidly increasing. At the same time, standards still emerge and reports not necessarily draw an objective - or the whole - picture. OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: To scientifically asses the recent development, we solicit articles that concern sustainability reporting in all facets as well as its impact on neighboring fields. Additionally, requirements regarding affected activities as well as organizational and technological preconditions are within the scope. We welcome both empirical and theoretical papers that advance the understanding of what sustainability reports are used for, how they are used, what impact they have, and how reporting can be improved. Case studies are welcomed but should provide a methodical sound generalization of findings. Position papers might be accepted if they provide scientific merit; checking back with the editors is recommend. Reports from practitioners are welcomed, particularly if they provide multiple views. RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: o Business intelligence to support report generation o Case studies of companies´ sustainability progress o Data collection and scrubbing for sustainability reporting o Differences between sectors o Global Reporting Initiative o Information systems support for the achievement of sustainability goals o Qualitative and/or quantitative studies of reporting activities o Reporting and controlling o Reporting and marketing activities o Reporting impact on customers o Sector-specific reporting activities or comparisons of companies´ performance o Sustainability and corporate responsibility o Sustainability and stakeholder relationship o Sustainability and Supply Chain Management o Sustainability management and reporting o Sustainability reporting frameworks SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on Sustainability Reporting on or before April 30, 2012.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] AWS'20112 (Adaptation of Web Services): Final extension Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 19:44:33 +0100 From: Walid Chainbi <walid.chainbi(a)gmail.com> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ***************************************************************** FINAL DEADLINE EXTENSION **************************************************************************** International Workshop on the Adaptation of Web Services (AWS'2012) August 27-29, 2012, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada http://www.uc.rnu.tn/aws2012.html in conjunction with ANT’2012 conference AIMS AND SCOPE *********************** Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm that utilizes Web services as the basic constructs to support the development of rapid, low-cost and easy composition of distributed applications even in heterogeneous environments. With the advent of SOC, computing environments have become open, and components are no longer under a single organization’s control. Consequently, Web services based applications are becoming difficult to adapt. Moreover, with the rapid growth of communication and information technologies, adaptation has gained a significant attention as it becomes a key feature of Web services allowing them to operate and evolve in highly dynamic environments. Adaptation mechanisms refer to different instantiations including configuration, healing, optimization, and protection. The primary objective of this workshop is to investigate ideas that may contribute to the adaptation of Web services. Theoretical as well as practical aspects are welcome. The workshop organizer welcomes participation and contributions from those working or interested in the intersection of technologies such as agent technology and autonomic computing with SOC. TOPICS OF INTEREST *************************** The topics of interest for AWS’2012 include, but are not limited to: • Adaptation solutions to Web services • Applications of adaptive Web services • Engineering of adaptive Web services • Optimization of Web services • Configuration of Web services • Healing of Web services • Protection of Web Services • Self-* Web services • Agents vs. Web services • Agents for Web services • Design and management of self-* Web services. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE AND FORMATTING GUIDELINES ************************************************************************* Authors should submit their contributions electronically in PDF format by the deadline given below. Please use AWS 2012 online submission system ( https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aws2012 ) and register as a new member: You just need to click on "I have no EasyChair Account" and complete the registration form.
