Conference Theme Building Sustainable Information Systems Dates Conference dates: 29-31August 2012 Paper submission deadline: 4 May 2012 Venue Prato, Italy Conference Website http://infotech.monash.edu/research/ISD2012/ Some keywords Information Systems, social media, mobile technologies, HCI, ecological systems, social sustainability, developing world, micro businesses. CFP WE INVITE YOU TO SUBMIT PAPERS IN THE AREA OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR ISD2012 (21ST INTERNATIONAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE) TO BE HELD ON 29-31AUGUST 2012 IN PRATO, ITALY. SUSTAINABILITY HAS SEVERAL MEANINGS, WITH THE DOMINANT MEANING REFERRING TO THE NATURAL ECOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL DOMAINS. GREEN IT RELATIVELY RECENTLY BECAME A POPULAR TOPIC AT CONFERENCES AND IN PUBLICATIONS. WHILE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE, SUSTAINABILITY MAY ALSO REFER TO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE COMPLEX WEAVE OF SOCIAL SYSTEMS. AGAIN THERE IS A VERY WIDE RANGE OF MEANINGS OF WHAT "SOCIAL SYSTEMS" MEANS, BUT FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS TRACK, SOCIAL ECOLOGY WOULD BE THE FOCUS. INFORMATION SYSTEMS (IS) THEORY TRADITIONALLY FOCUSES ON IS FOR ORGANIZATIONS, TYPICALLY BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS, ASSUMING ALL OTHER KINDS OF SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS (SUCH AS GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS) TO BE VARIANTS OF BUSINESS SYSTEMS. THE PC ITSELF WAS DEVELOPED AS A BUSINESS TOOL, AND ONLY OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES WITH ITS ABILITY TO HANDLE MULTIMEDIA ALSO BECAME A TOOL FOR ENTERTAINMENT. OVER THE PAST DECADE THE NETWORKED PC BECAME A POWERFUL TOOL ALSO IN PERSONAL COMMUNICATION AND PRIVATE SOCIALIZATION IN THE FORM OF THE SO-CALLED SOCIAL MEDIA. THE RISE INTO PROMINENCE OF THE PC AS A TOOL OF ENTERTAINMENT, COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL MEDIA PUT INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN THE HANDS OF INDIVIDUALS FOR THE USE OF NON-BUSINESS PURPOSES - I.E. FOR NON-STRUCTURED OR SEMI-STRUCTURED SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS AND PERSONAL USE. THE RECENT MOBILIZATION OF NON-STRUCTURED SOCIO-POLITICAL GATHERINGS ON THE MEDITERRANEAN AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST WERE MADE POSSIBLE BY SOCIAL MEDIA TECHNOLOGY; WHILE CITIZEN PRESSURE GROUPS USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO GET THEIR VOICES HEARD, DEMONSTRATED BY THE SEVERAL MILLION OBJECTIONS EARLY IN 2012 AGAINST THE PROPOSED ANTIPIRACY BILLS IN THE USA. WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF SUCH NON-FORMAL SOCIAL GROUPS AND INDIVIDUAL USE ON THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS? SHOULD DESIGN BE ABOUT HUMAN-COMPUTER-INTERFACE (HCI), OR ABOUT HUMAN-HUMAN COMMUNICATION (HHC), FACILITATED BY TECHNOLOGY? SIMILAR QUESTIONS WERE RECENTLY POSED AT OTHER CONFERENCES, EG. THE INTERACTION CONFERENCE - HTTP://WWW.SILICONREPUBLIC.COM/NEW-MEDIA/ITEM/25639-IN-INTERACTION-DESIGN/ THE PC IS NO LONGER THE DOMINANT DEVICE FOR ENTERTAINMENT, PERSONAL COMMUNICATION AND PRIVATE SOCIALIZATION PURPOSES. MOBILE PHONE DISTRIBUTION HAS SURPASSED THE PC IN 2010 IN MARKET-SHARE. THE PROMINENT PAST VIEW OF THE CLIENT-SERVER MODEL, WHERE CLIENT MEANT PC, HAS CHANGED TO A MODEL WHERE CLIENT NOW MEANS MOBILE DEVICE - EITHER MOBILE PHONE OR TABLET. DO THE SAME PRINCIPLES OF IS DEVELOPED FOR THE PC STILL APPLY? ECOLOGICALLY, SUSTAINABILITY HAS GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS. IF SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY ALSO IMPLIES GLOBAL SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY, ALL SOCIETIES AND THE COMPLEX WEB OF INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS (TECHNOLOGICAL AS WELL AS SOCIAL) NEED TO BE CONSIDERED. IS SYSTEMS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD, WHICH MAKES UP THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET, THUS ALSO NEED TO BE CONSIDERED. HOWEVER, DISTRIBUTION OF NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD IS POOR, WHILE MOST COMMERCE TAKES PLACE IN THE INFORMAL BUSINESS SECTOR AND ON THE LEVEL OF MICRO BUSINESSES. IN ADDITION, THE MOBILE MARKET DOMINATES THE PC MARKET BY FAR IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. WITH ITS EMPHASIS ON FORMAL ORGANIZATIONAL IS, WHICH MEANT BUSINESS AND MOSTLY BIG BUSINESS, AND AT BEST MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES, THERE IS NOT MUCH RESEARCH IN IS CIRCLES ON INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR MICRO-ORGANIZATIONS AND MICRO-BUSINESSES. IS RESEARCH ALSO TYPICALLY ASSUMES 24/7 BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY, WHICH IS HARD TO COME BY IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. SO HOW DOES CLOUD COMPUTING APPLY IN THIS ENVIRONMENT? AND HOW SHOULD IS BE DESIGNED FOR THIS ENVIRONMENT? SINCE THE DISCIPLINE OF IS WAS INTRODUCED SOME TIME AGO, THE WORLD HAS CHANGED IN THE WAYS DESCRIBED ABOVE. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS TREND FOR FUTURE IS RESEARCH AND FOR PRINCIPLES TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE IS? DO WE NEED DIFFERENT THEORIES AND MODELS FOR MOBILE SYSTEMS, MICRO-ORGANIZATIONS, INDIVIDUALS, SOCIAL GROUPS, AND THE DEVELOPING WORLD? DOES STATUS QUO IS HOLD? THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS TO BE ADDRESSED IN THIS TRACK. BRIEFLY THEN, WHAT ARE THE DESIGN IMPLICATIONS FOR IS IN THE LONG-TERM OUTCOME OF THESE TRENDS AND EVENTS? SHOULD INFORMATION SYSTEMS CONSIDER EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF THE FIELD, OR CAN THE EXISTING IS CONCEPTUAL TOOLS DEAL WITH THIS? SUGGESTED TOPICS: A SHORT LIST TO INDICATE THE TYPE OF ISSUES OF INTEREST TO THE TRACK  NON-FORMAL ORGANIZATIONAL IS IS FOR MICRO BUSINESSES SOCIAL ECOLOGY OF IS  SOCIAL MEDIA AND IS MOBILE PHONES AND IS IS IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD IS FOR PRIVATE USE SOCIAL ACTIVISM AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS THE IMPACT OF ICT RIGHTS ON IS ALTERNATIVE METAPHORS FOR INTERFACE DESIGN THE FUTURE OF IS PUBLICATION SELECTED PAPERS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A BOOK.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] BIRTE@ VLDB2012- Real-Time Business Intelligence Date: Fri, 4 May 2012 02:33:07 +0000 From: Castellanos, Malu G <malu.castellanos(a)hp.com> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL FOR PAPERS BIRTE 2012 Sixth International Workshop on Real-Time Business Intelligence http://BIRTE2012.cs.wpi.edu/ August 27, 2012 In conjunction with VLDB 2012 August 27-31, 2012 Istanbul, Turkey IMPORTANT DATES * Abstracts due: May 30, 2012 * Papers due: June 3, 2012 * Notification: June 20, 2012 * Camera-ready copies: August 1, 2012 DESCRIPTION In today's competitive and highly dynamic environment, analyzing data to understand how the business is performing and to predict outcomes and trends has become critical. The traditional approach to reporting is no longer adequate. Instead users now demand easy-to-use intelligent platforms and applications capable of analyzing real-time data to provide insight and actionable information at the right time. The end goal is to support better and timelier decision making, enabled by the availability of up-to-date, high quality information. Although there has been progress in this direction and many companies are introducing products towards meeting this goal, there is still a long way to go. In particular, the whole lifecycle of business intelligence requires innovative techniques and methodologies capable of dealing with the requirements imposed by these new generation of BI applications. From the capture of real-time business data to the transformation and delivery of actionable information, all the stages of the Business Intelligence (BI) cycle call for new algorithms and paradigms to support value-added functionalities. These functionalities include dynamic integration of real-time data feeds from operational sources, optimization and evolution of ETL transformations and analytical models, and dynamic generation of adaptive real-time dashboards, just to name a few. The series of BIRTE workshops, starting in 2006, have always been held in conjunction with VLDB. The series aims to provide a forum to discuss topics related to this emerging field and set research directions towards making business intelligence more real-time. Following the success of previous BIRTE editions (2006, 2008-2011) submissions for research, industrial and position papers on relevant topics are encouraged. TOPICS OF INTEREST Models, Architectures and Technologies for Real-time Enterprise Business Intelligence - Metadata management - Data quality and cleansing - BI over streaming data - Data capture in real-time - Performance and scalability - Real-time decision support - Tuning and management of the real-time data warehouse - Data warehouse evolution - ETL optimization - ETL for the real-time data warehouse - Data mining and data analysis in real-time - Complex event analytics for business intelligence - Real-time Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) - Real-time OLAP - Visualization - Streaming text analytics - Business decision making in the cloud Applications of Real-time Business Intelligence - Novel applications - Case studies - Pitfalls in applying BI tools to real-life problems - Lessons learned from large practical applications of real-time BI - Industrial experiences and challenges SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Papers should follow the LNCS format (see http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-791344-0l for details).The first page must contain an abstract, a classification of the topic covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/industry paper).
