-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Papers: ECIS 2013 Track "Cloud Computing and Services in Global Settings" Datum: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:07:38 +0000 Von: Alexander Benlian <benlian(a)ise.tu-darmstadt.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> --------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Track "Cloud Computing and Services in Global Settings" https://sites.google.com/site/ecis2013nl/the-conference/tracks-and-keynotes… at the 21th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013) June 5-8, 2013, Utrecht University, Netherlands *** Deadline for paper submission: December 7th, 2012 *** --- THEME AND TOPICS More and more companies use cloud computing solutions for their business applications and its impact is indisputable. Several predictions indicate that cloud computing will grow in the following years: IDC predicts that by 2013 10% of all IT purchases will be cloud computing related; Gartner predicts that in end of 2016, more than 50% of Global 1000 companies will have stored customer-sensitive data in the public cloud; and KPMG reports that 81% of all businesses are either planning, starting or already working with cloud computing implementations. Although the estimates differ, the main trend is undeniable: the use of cloud computing solutions is quickly gaining ground. The shift towards the cloud has enormous impact on how companies utilize software. We can make an analogy with electricity here: in the nineteenth century, factories had to build their own dedicated power generator capabilities in order to get their machines running. Nowadays, many firms have to make large up-front investments for their IT applications and infrastructure. Just as electricity utilities removed the entry barriers for industries, cloud computing removes entry barriers for companies that use IT. Computing is now offered as utility. Despite many advantages of cloud computing, such as low entry barriers, more scalability, faster implementation times and more business agility, there are also challenges, such as managing organizational change, adapting (IT) governance processes, trusting third parties with secure data, making strategic sourcing decisions, and dealing with new pricing and licensing models. As a specific focus, we address globalization and internationalization aspects: cloud computing, service-oriented architectures and corresponding concepts are by nature distributed and in most cases global. The research focus of these concepts has primarily been on technology solutions. However, the organizational and human aspects, especially with regard global challenges to these technologies, are more and more explored. Outsourcing and offshoring solutions have been discussed frequently, in both research and in industry. As more and more organizations apply outsourcing and offshoring practices, new ways have to be found to compete in this rapidly changing environment. Key topics in this field are the organization of offshore processes, work and support of global (virtual) teams as well as specific aspects such as trust, or coordination across time zones. To be successful in a global service infrastructure from a human perspective, stakeholders need to be enabled to successfully deploy and adapt services as well as coordinate and communicate with related organizations on a global level. This includes new key competencies for individuals and organizations, such as intercultural management / communication. Moreover, organizations and individuals need support to acquire and continuously enhance those skills. Furthermore, other technological innovations, cultural awareness and competencies are key success factors for the future. This track wishes to explore these challenges and other issues relating to the adoption and use of cloud computing solutions in organizations, and its influence on process organization and design. The scope includes Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), as well as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solutions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Cloud computing adoption, diffusion and implementation - Business impact of changing to cloud solutions - Cloud computing and organizational change - Cloud computing, organizational learning and absorptive capacity - Consequences of cloud computing for the IT profession - Licensing, pricing, monitoring and billing in cloud computing - Cloud computing economics - Cloud sourcing, make or buy decision processes - Risks and benefits of using cloud computing - Trust, security and reliability in cloud computing - Audits and certification processes and standards in cloud computing - Changing IT usage patterns - Cloud computing and start-ups - Cloud computing and IT governance - Service visualization - Cloud federations, service marketplaces and ecosystems - Cloud computing in developing countries - Cloud computing and sustainability TRACK CHAIRS Alexander Benlian, TU Darmstadt, Germany, benlian(a)ise.tu-darmstadt.de <mailto:benlian@ise.tu-darmstadt.de> Jan M.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wkwi] 1st Call for Papers: ECIS 2013 Track "Business Process Management" Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2012 08:18:01 +0200 (CEST) From: Maximilian Roeglinger <maximilian.roeglinger(a)wiwi.uni-augsburg.de> Reply-To: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de 1st CALL FOR PAPERS 21st European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013) June 5-8, 2013, at Utrecht University Track 03: Business Process Management Deadline for paper submissions is December 7, 2012. DESCRIPTION Business Process Management (BPM) is comprised of concepts, methods, and tools dedicated to the identification, capture, improvement, implementation, and execution of organizational processes. BPM draws from and interacts with established concepts such as Total Quality Management, Business Process Reengineering, and Six Sigma. Moreover, BPM is supported by technologies such as workflow automation and service-oriented computing. Business Process Automation promises significant efficiency gains through standardized process flows, automated resource allocation, and application integration in the process context. BPM is in high demand due to the ongoing pressure to improve operational efficiencies, opportunities related to process outsourcing/off-shoring, and compliance requirements that mandate standardized processes. Industry analysts such as the Gartner Group have identified BPM as a top priority of CIOs for the last eight years. The technical questions of modeling, simulating, and executing processes have been studied extensively in the past, but little work has been published about the adoption, use, and organizational consequences of BPM since the first wave of papers on Business Process Reengineering in the early 1990s. This is notable because the technology underlying BPM has matured significantly since then, and the organizational uptake of BPM technology is widespread. This track encourages the wider adoption of Information Systems research in the domain of BPM beyond methodological and technical questions. In particular, we are interested in papers that contribute BPM-related theories and empirical evidence. Overall, the track explicitly encourages research using a wide variety of methodologies covering quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research approaches such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science research. TOPICS OF INTEREST ? BPM adoption and evolution ? BPM governance ? Process decision making ? Value orientation in BPM ? BPM and operations research ? BPM and organizational capabilities ? Organizational impact of BPM ? BPM and organizational design ? Process reference models ? Business process innovation ? Business process outsourcing ? Business process industrialization ? Process-aware information systems ? Inter-organizational BPM ? Social BPM ?

IT/IS is typically developed and managed by deploying individuals or groups from various cultures, educational / professional backgrounds, and organizations who work together using various methods (or methodologies/ frameworks) and tools to ensure that the final product will meet the expectations of all stakeholders. In order to better understand the intricate problems that can arise in such a complex and dynamic work environment, this track adopts a multi-dimensional approach focusing on both user-centric, as well as, method-centric aspects: + Human factors in IS/IT Development and Management: understanding the large variety of human factors that need to be considered during IS/IT Development and Management. Issues such as (and not limited to) lack of proper communication and coordination among team members, employee motivation, cultural differences etc. This topic also deals with human issues related to IS/IT development in specific project and organizational environments, for example, customer collaboration is important in an Agile development context, while developer coordination and communication is critical in a globally distributed software development environment + Methods and Tools in IS/IT Development and Management: understanding and explaining the design, adoption, and success of methods (or methodologies/ frameworks) and tools from areas such as (and not limited to) project management, software engineering, method engineering, architecture management, service management, and IS/IT governance. The goal is to foster research by providing deeper insights into factors that affect their successful design, dissemination, and application. Researchers and practitioners interested in submitting papers to this track are encouraged to explore IT/IS development and management issues related to the above mentioned themes – for example, from a design, behavioral, and technical perspective. Papers may consider different units of analysis: individual, group, or organizational level. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: + Socio-technical approach + Coordination, communication, collaboration, and awareness issues in IS/IT development and management + Organizational and governmental issues in IS/IT development and management + Project management methods and tools + Communities of interest, communities of practice, knowledge sharing and organizational learning in IS/IT development and management + Issues particular to global IS/IT development and management (e.g. outsourcing) + Issues related to Open source development + Design, configuration and customization of IT/IS management and development methods and tools + Empirical studies in method design and engineering: experiences, case studies and usage-oriented evaluations + Issues related to computer-based support to IS/IT methods + Method and tool acceptance and adoption + Strategies to improve IS/IT methods acceptance + Leadership, power, and politics in IS/IT development and management + Software and tools that support effective IS/IT development and management (e.g., project management information systems, software development tools, etc.) TRACK CHAIRS Kunal Mohan, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland, kunalmohan(a)gmail.com Saïd Assar, Telecom Ecole de Management, France, said.assar(a)it-sudparis.eu Chintan Amrit, University of Twente, The Netherlands, c.amrit(a)utwente.nl Nils Urbach, EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht, Germany, nils.urbach(a)ebs.edu Christine Legner, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland, christine.Legner(a)unil.ch Maya Daneva, University of Twente, The Netherlands, m.daneva(a)utwente.nl Jolita Ralyté, University of Geneva, Switzerland, jolita.ralyte(a)unige.ch Daniela Damian, University of Victoria, Canada, danielad(a)cs.uvic.ca ASSOCIATE EDITORS Benjamin Müller, University of Mannheim, Germany Stefan Smolnik, EBS Business School, Germany Rahul Thakurta, Xavier Institute of Management, India Jahangir Karimi, University of Colorado Denver, USA Frank Teuteberg, University of Osnabrück, Germany Rajeev Sharma University of Wollongong, Australia Abhijit Dutt, Penn State Beaver, USA Maximilian Röglinger, University of Augsburg, Germany Ali Sunyaev, University of Cologne, Germany Pär Ågerfalk, Uppsala University, Sweden Rébecca Deneckère, University Paris 1 - Sorbonne, France Manfred Jeusfeld, Tilburg University, Netherlands Agnès Front, IMAG, France Isabelle Mirbel, Université Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France João Alvaro Carvalho, Universidade do Minho, Portugal César González-Pérez, Spanish National Research Council,Spain Philippe Kruchten, University of British Columbia Venugopal Balijepally, Prairie View A&M University Cleidson de Souza, IBM Research, Brazil Darja Smite, Blekinge Institute of Technology Klaas Sikkel, University of Twente Gitte Tjornehoj, Aalborg University Mehmet Aydin, Isik University Yvonne Dittrich, IT University of Copenhagen Nils Brede Moe, SINTEF ICT, Norway Alexander Maedche, University of Mannheim, Germany Vishal Midha, University of Texas - Pan American, USA Stephanie missonier, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland Thomas Widjaja, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany Chen-Hui Wang, University of Hsuan Chuang, Taiwan _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality and relevance in eGovernment research. As previous SIG eGovernment pre-ICIS workshops, this workshop is dedicated to open discussions about the most important issues today, theoretical streams and different possible ways forward. The focus of the workshop is informed discussion. Workshop Objective This year, the workshop aims to focus on Open Data and Open Innovation in eGovernment. eGovernment has for many years been seen as a government activity, but today more actors are moving in. Governments increasingly provide open data for citizens to make use of and for companies and NGOs to develop services on. Moreover, there is an increasing number of interdepartmental and cross public-private sector initiatives. This workshop discusses the new perspective of eGovernment, including open service models and the changing roles for governments as well as citizens, businesses and organizations. Questions to be examined include (but are not limited to): - Open data in the eGovernment; - Open innovation in eGovernment; - eGovernment and eParticipation; - Citizen-centric eGovernment; - User-driven e-government design, management, and implementation; - Transparency and openness in eGovernment services; - Social media and eGovernment services; - What is the relationship of eGovernment with new areas such as e-participation and old ones such as e-learning, e-commerce, and e-health; - What is the relationship of eGovernment with the wider IS research area; - Engaging stakeholders e-government research; - Challenges of open-source and open-standard solutions in eGovernment; Submission We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion papers. Full papers should be max 5000 words. Discussion papers may be short, just a few pages, but should clearly and distinctly address one or more issues pertinent to eGovernment research including research methods and quality as well as focus of studies. Papers should be designed to support in-depth discussions of one of these issues during the workshop. The workshop papers will be clustered and each session will discuss a small set of papers focusing on similar or related issues. Each submission will be reviewed by the workshop co-chairs and at least one external reviewer. The submission will not be published as proceedings, and the authors will retain full authorship rights. File Format: Word Please submit your papers to: sigegov12(a)gmail.com Details of the programme will be made available at http://sigegov.org <https://mail.cbs.dk/owa/redir.aspx?C=FSuSBgQP0kWQYgolmyF05QvEg3TWbc9I47prl7…> Important Dates .

Fwd: [AISWorld] JGITM: Special Issue on Global Cyber Security
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Sep '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] JGITM: Special Issue on Global Cyber Security Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2012 15:35:46 -0400 From: Prashant Palvia <pcpalvia(a)uncg.edu> To: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CC: Nir Kshetri <nbkshetr(a)uncg.edu> Posting on behalf of Professor Nir Kshetri. _____________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue of Journal of Global Information Technology Management (JGITM) Theme: Global Cyber-Security Tentative Publication Date: July, 2013 Two-page proposal by authors (optional): September 30, 2012 Full paper submission deadline: October 31, 2012 Special Issue Guest Editor Nir Kshetri, Ph.D. Bryan School of Business and Economics The University of North Carolina--Greensboro Greensboro, NC 27402-6165 USA Email: nbkshetr(a)uncg.edu <mailto:nbkshetr@uncg.edu> Theme By all accounts, the global cybercrime industry is much bigger than most of the major and well-known underground and underworld industries such as illegal drugs trade and human trafficking. The most often cited figure for the annual worldwide loss to cybercrime is US$1 trillion (Kshetri 2010a, b). According to 2011 Norton Cybercrime Report released by Symantec, 69% of the world's internet users have been victimized at some points in their lives by cyber-criminals. Cybercrimes are associated with the growing incidences of financial loss, IP theft, breach of privacy as well as other social problems. Various recent surveys have demonstrated that businesses and consumers worry more about cybercrimes than about physical crimes. A study conducted by Gallup in October 2009 indicated that 66% of U.S. adults were worried ?frequently? or ?occasionally? about being an identity theft victim (Saad, 2009). The proportion was higher than the reported anxiety about 11 other crime types included in the Gallup survey. The rapidly escalating cybercrime is one of the most pressing global challenges shared by both the developing as well as the developed countries (Nye, 2011). Rapid rise and sophistications in cyber-attacks have also affected national interests and have forced governments to adjust their national security and national defense strategies. A study of McAfee indicated that about 85% of the world?s utility networks had been infiltrated by criminals and spy agencies in 2010. Likewise, according to a 2007 report of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), 108 countries had developed offensive cyber-warfare capabilities. In response to the above threats, individuals and organizations are responding by increasing cyber-security spending. For instance, according to the research firm IDC, the secure content and threat management sector was worth US$15.1 billion in 2007 and US$21 billion in 2011. As cybercrimes are becoming more and more pervasive in our daily lives, the above issues are only a few of what are becoming more and more recognized in academic and policy debates. The complex, multifaceted, and dynamic nature of cybercrime is a critical but little-examined problem in social science research. Although the popular press has paid considerable attention to cybercrime, very little research has been undertaken to further our understanding of this phenomenon. Our understanding of underlying drivers and the effects on the global society and economy of such crimes is thus limited. The purpose of this special issue is to contribute to filling this void. Aims and Scope This special issue aims to advance understanding of contexts, mechanisms and processes associated with the global cybercrime and cyber-security landscapes by attracting high quality manuscripts in this area. It would provide a forum for academic researchers, policy makers and practitioners. Papers of all theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome. Submissions that cross multiple disciplines such as economics, law, business and management, international affairs, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and criminology to develop theory and provide information that could move theory and practice forward in the study of cybercrime and cyber-security are especially encouraged. Consistent with the focus of JGITM, all submitted papers must explicitly address key global issues associated with cybercrime and cyber-security. Possible contributions may include, but are not limited to the following: ? Formal and informal institutions affecting cybercrime and cyber-security measures; ? Cloud computing and cyber-security; ? Social media and cyber-security; ? Mobile cybercrime and mobile security; ? Cybercrime and cyber-security issues in the developing world; ? Country-level analysis of cybercrime and cyber-security issues; ? Regional analysis (e.g., Asia Pacific, Sub-Sahara Africa, Latin America, the former second world economies) of cybercrime and cyber-security issues; ? Cross-country comparison of cybercrime and cyber-security; ? National-level measures to enhance cyber-security; ? Private sector (e.g., businesses and trade associations) initiatives in enhancing national cyber-security measures; ? Forces driving changes in formal and informal institutions related to cyber-security; ? The millennial generation and cyber-security; ? Cyber-security related innovations from the developing world; All papers will go through a blind-review process. Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers and the guest editor. The guest editor will make acceptance recommendations to the Editor in Chief, Dr. Prashant Palvia, who will make the final decision. If there are more qualified papers than that can be included in the special issue, they will be published in future issues of JGITM. Important Dates Two-page proposal by authors (optional) July 31, 2012 Deadline for submission: October 31, 2012 Initial decision and revisions sent to authors January 31, 2013 Deadline for revised papers: March 15, 2013 Notification of final acceptances: April 30, 2013 Deadline for final versions: May 31, 2013 Tentative Publication Date: July, 2013 Submissions: Please submit electronically as MS-Word attachment to the guest editor Dr. Nir Kshetri at nbkshetr(a)uncg.edu <mailto:nbkshetr@uncg.edu>. Approximate size of the paper should be 25 double-spaced pages not including references, tables, and figures. Background of special issue editor Nir Kshetri is Associate Professor at Bryan School of Business and Economics, The University of North Carolina-Greensboro (UNCG) and a research fellow at Research Institute for Economics & Business Administration - Kobe University. Among his books are Cybercrime in the Global South: Structure, Processes and Characteristics (forthcoming, Palgrave Macmillan, Houndmills, Basingstoke, U.K.) and The Global Cyber-crime Industry: Economic, Institutional and Strategic Perspectives (Springer-Verlag: Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, 2010).

A 2012 study ranked him # 2 in terms of the number of articles published in Journal of International Management over a 13-year period (1998-2010). His research-related awards include a best paper award at the 5th International Conference on Information Systems and Economic Intelligence (SIIE) (Tunisia), Emerald Literati Network 2010 Award for Excellence, the Pacific Telecommunication Council?s Meheroo Jussawalla Research Paper Prize (2010 and 2008) and a finalist in the Management and Organization Review (MOR) Best Paper Award in the China Goes Global Conference organized by the Harvard University (October, 2008). In December 2010, Nir was invited by the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland to speak on "Addressing security challenges on a global scale".
