-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP - Information Security Curriculum Development Conference at Kennesaw State University Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2012 15:13:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Humayun Zafar <hzafar(a)kennesaw.edu> To: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> InfoSecCD seeks to give academicians, researchers and practitioners a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of Information Security Curriculum Development. Papers offering novel research contributions in any aspect of information security education are solicited for submission to the 2012 Information Security Curriculum Development Conference. The primary focus is on quality original unpublished research, case studies, and implementation experiences. Papers should have practical relevance to the design, development, implementation and best-practices in information security education -- for the Pedagogy track and for best-practices in the design, implementation and management of information security for the Practices Track. Theoretical papers must make convincing argument for the practical significance of the results. Theory must be justified by compelling examples illustrating its application. The primary criterion for appropriateness is demonstrated practical relevance. The conference will include three tracks: pedagogy, practice, and student. In order to be considered a student paper, and thus eligible for the best student paper award, the paper must be authored *exclusively* by students. Any paper submitted as a student paper with a non-student co-author will be reclassified as either pedagogy or practice and is eligible for the best paper award, but not the best student paper award. Note: Work in Progresses can be accepted if substantial progress and expected completion by conference date is demonstrated. Please note that /*all*/submissions must use the ACM approved format available in the template downloadable from http://infosec.kennesaw.edu/InfoSecCD/InfoSecCD_ACM_Template.docx Note: Please use the conference paper management site https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/INFOSECCD2012/ <https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/InfoSecCD2011/> To submit a paper, go to the CMT Microsoft site, register as an author and upload.

However, because of work dividing, science and technology development, and specialization in the Modern Age, the producers have provided goods and services to the market. However, for some people there is still a dilemma: make or buy. This dilemma allows us to talk about prosumer as an active consumer. In IT sector, the problem of active users and their activities support was known since the beginning of business information systems development. The question concerning the role of end-user in information systems development returns from time to time. Presently, innovations are less dependent on in-house specialized research and development activities. IT companies accept the strategy of openness. Customers play a central role as innovators. The Information Technology is open. The emergence of knowledge markets as mechanisms for enabling, supporting, and facilitating the mobilization, sharing, or exchange of information and knowledge ensures the appropriate conditions for the activation of a wide spectrum of innovators. The book is going to integrate a complexity of issues concerning the development of IT tools and methods which would increase the end-users involvement in IT usage. Objective of the Book This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area of Information Technology prosumption. It will be written by and for professionals who want to improve the general understanding of the strategy of openness of IT firms. The general mission of this book is as follows: Assuming that end-users are involved in information system development process the new methodologies, tools are needed to extend the role of end-user in the development process as well as to create opportunities to develop their own application for their own use. The book aims to mobilize users to more active usage of IT and to stimulate software firms to create new software products for active users. So far, well known information system development methodologies were realized in the producer interests and passively involved the users. However, JAD (Joint Application Development) methods, and lately arrived user experience (UX) approach, user-centered development (UCD) process are going to emphasize the end -user roles. Particularly, in e-business, users behave as prosumers and they are interested in methods and IT tools supporting their activities. Therefore, the potential authors are challenged to reveal the research results of IT user-driven demands as well as IT tools and methods for application development by end-users and for them. Target Audience The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and researchers working in the field of information systems in various disciplines, e.g. computer science and information technology, end-user support management, IPR politics, innovation management and marketing. Academic researchers, students as well as practitioners (IS analysts and designers) will be interested in this book. The book will help them to rethink how end-user could be activated and how IT firms could be encouraged to develop new products for active users. Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: • impact of user innovation on the broad economic environment, by example Web 2.0 initiatives development, Health 2.0, Learning 2.0 Enterprise 2.0 Government 2.0 etc. • openness of Information and IT resources i.e., software, content, maps, economic consequences of access to open information resources, • the legal regulatory environment for open innovativeness, • intellectual property rights management to appropriate the results of the users' intellectual investments, • taxation in an economy having a direct bearing on innovative activity. • the role of lead users in IT systems development and efficiency increase (optimization) • reasons of cooperation with end users in IT governance processes • advantages of customer involvement in the production process, • social network and internet communities expertise in a specific field and their role in innovation development process. • exploring user engagement in user-generated content websites, • co-creation experience between users and software firms, • open business model development, where the absorption of external resources for value creation is permitted. • user-centered development (UCD) process focused on active user involvement, • user experience (UX) approach for end-user activation, • user-driven IT innovation within open innovativeness environment, • Decision Support Systems (DSSs) development methods and tools for end-users Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before July 1st, 2012, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by July 20th, 2012 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by October 31, 2012. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] CFP RFID Web of Things Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:02:13 -0000 From: sender(a)ekimelu.com To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Papers: RFID: towards Ubiquitous Computing & the Web of Things The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research is planning a special issue on RFID: towards Ubiquitous Computing & the web of Things. Guest editors; Ygal Bendavid, Samuel Fosso Wamba, and Joseph Barjis Continuous improvements in technological performance, combined with maturing applications and decreasing prices have contributed to the pervasive adoption of Automated Identification Technology such as bar codes and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. Following its incubation period, today RFID technology adoption can be seen in various domains making its diffusion global and cross industries and national borders. Over the last 10 years, RFID application is witnessing a significant growth in almost each sector. RFID Item-Level Tagging (ILT) initiatives are extensively deployed in sectors such as apparel and footwear - with companies such as Gerry Weber International, American Apparel, Macy, JC Penney, and Wal-Mart leading the movement. Adoption of RFID is closely related to various concepts such as Ubiquitous computing (Ubi-comp), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Web of Things (WoT) or the Web of Things and People (WoTaP), where a tagged object can communicate electronically, in real time, with its environment through the global infrastructure of wireless Internet. As sensors and intelligence are added to physical objects, this opens the way to innovative electronic commerce business models and transformation of modern enterprises and their relationship with their constituencies. Effective application and adoption of these new models and technologies pose a host of research questions requiring scientific intervention. This special issue of JTAER aims to gather new theoretical and/or qualitative-empirical results addressing some of these research questions. While contributions in the domain of e-commerce/e-business are welcome, technical aspects of RFID (e.g., RFID circuit or antennas designs, modulation schemes for RFID, RFID electromagnetic field measurements) are not within the scope. Subject Coverage Relevant topics in the domain of electronic commerce, electronic business, and technology-driven enterprise transformation to be addressed in this issue might include, but are not limited to the following. 1. RFID enabled e-commerce business models • RFID & the EPC Network • RFID & The Internet of Things (IoT) • RFID & Ubiquitous Computing (Ubi-Comp) / Pervasive computing • RFID and the Web of Things (WoT)/ Web of Things and People (WoTaP) 2. RFID-enabled enterprise and network transformation • RFID-enabled electronic business models • RFID-enabled Web Service modeling and management • RFID-enabled e-commerce processes 3. RFID-enabled e-Supply Chain Management (eSCM) • RFID enabled e-logistic management • RFID enabled Tracking & Tracing in the e-supply chain • Real time data capture in the e-supply chain: applications and implications 4. RFID operational business intelligence • RFID data management & analytics for supporting e-commerce practices • RFID and ambient intelligence & distributed computing • RFID Embedded Smart Objects 5. Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and e-commerce applications. • NFC e-commerce adoption • NFC e-commerce & M-commerce based applications 6. Focused empirical studies, on specific topics within the field of RFID • Empirical studies of adopters using RFID to support B2B e-commerce transactions • Case Studies of RFID e-commerce enabled applications and implications Notes for Intending Authors Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas. Papers should not be previously published, or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Accepted manuscripts must conform to the journal format (see http://www.jtaer.com/).

To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of the congress 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.
