-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP ECIS 2013 - Track "Methods, Tools and Human Factors in IS/IT Development and Management" Datum: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:34:30 +0200 Von: Nils.Urbach(a)ebs.edu An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 21st European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013) Track: "Methods, Tools and Human Factors in IS/IT Development and Management" (https://sites.google.com/site/ecis2013nl/the-conference/tracks-and-keynotes…) June 05-08, 2013, Utrecht, Netherlands (http://www.ecis2013.nl <http://www.ecis2013.nl/>) *************************************************************************** Deadline for paper submissions: December 7, 2012 ============================================ Track Description =============== Information technology and information systems (IT/IS) development and management is a complex phenomenon. 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: ======================================= o Socio-technical approach o Coordination, communication, collaboration, and awareness issues in IS/IT development and management o Organizational and governmental issues in IS/IT development and management o Project management methods and tools o Communities of interest, communities of practice, knowledge sharing and organizational learning in IS/IT development and management o Issues particular to global IS/IT development and management (e.g. outsourcing) o Issues related to Open source development o Design, configuration and customization of IT/IS management and development methods and tools o Empirical studies in method design and engineering: experiences, case studies and usage-oriented evaluations o Issues related to computer-based support to IS/IT methods o Method and tool acceptance and adoption o Strategies to improve IS/IT methods acceptance o Leadership, power, and politics in IS/IT development and management o 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 (Primary Contact) 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EBS Universitaet fuer Wirtschaft und Recht gemeinnuetzige GmbH, Amtsgericht Wiesbaden HRB 19951;, Umsatzsteuer-ID DE 113891213; Aufsichtsrat: Dr. Hellmut K.

Fwd: [computational.science] IFIP IDMAN 2013: second call for papers
by Gustaf Neumann 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [computational.science] IFIP IDMAN 2013: second call for papers Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 11:42:53 +0100 From: Chris Mitchell <me(a)chrismitchell.net> Organization: "ICCSA" To: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> Second Call for Papers IFIP IDMAN 2013 - 3rd IFIP WG 11.6 Working Conference on Policies & Research in Identity Management London, UK, 8th-9th April 2013 www.idman2013.com Background Building on the success of IDMAN 2007 and 2010 (which were held in Rotterdam and Oslo, respectively), this conference focuses on the theory, technologies and applications of identity management. IFIP IDMAN 2013, the 3rd IFIP WG 11.6 Working Conference on Policies & Research in Identity Management, will take place between the 8th and 10th of April 2013 at Royal Holloway, University of London, UK. Conference scope The world of the 21st century is, more than ever, global and impersonal. As a result of increasing cyber fraud and cyber terrorism, the demand for better technical methods of identification is growing, not only in companies and organisations but also in the world at large. Moreover, in our society digital identities increasingly play a role in the provision of eGovernment and eCommerce services. For practical reasons, Identity Management Systems are needed that are usable and interoperable. At the same time, individuals increasingly leave trails of personal data when using the Internet, which allows them to be profiled and which may be stored for many years to come. Technical trends such as Cloud Computing and pervasive computing make personal data processing non-transparent, and make it increasingly difficult for users to control their personal spheres. As part of this tendency, surveillance and monitoring are increasingly present in society, both in the public and private domains. Whilst the original intention is to contribute to security and safety, surveillance and monitoring might, in some cases, have unintended or even contradictory effects. Moreover, the omnipresence of surveillance and monitoring systems might directly conflict with public and democratic liberties. These developments raise substantial new challenges for privacy and identity management at the technical, social, ethical, regulatory, and legal levels. Identity management challenges the information security research community to focus on interdisciplinary and holistic approaches, while retaining the benefits of previous research efforts. Topics for papers Papers offering research contributions to the area of identity management are solicited for submission to the 3rd IFIP WG-11.6 IDMAN conference. Papers may present theory, applications or practical experience in the field of identity management, from a technical, legal or socio-economic perspective, including, but not necessarily limited to: o Novel identity management technologies and approaches o Interoperable identity management solutions o Privacy-enhancing technologies o Identity management for mobile and ubiquitous computing o Identity management solutions for eHealth, eGovernment and eCommerce o Privacy and Identity (Management) in and for cloud computing o Privacy and Identity in social networks o Risk analysis techniques for privacy risk and privacy impact assessment o Privacy management of identity management o Identity theft prevention o Attribute based authentication and access control o User-centric identity management o Legal, socio-economic, philosophical and ethical aspects o Impact on society and politics o Related developments in social tracking, tracing and sorting o Quality of identity data, processes and applications o User centered, usable and inclusive identity management o Attacks on identity management infrastructures o Methods of identification and authentication o Identification and authentication procedures o Applications of anonymous credentials o (Privacy-preserving) identity profiling and fraud detection o Government PKIs o (Possible) role of pseudonymous and anonymous identity in identity management o Electronic IDs: European and worldwide policies and cooperation in the field of identity management o Surveillance and monitoring o (Inter)national policies on unique identifiers /social security numbers / personalisation IDs o Vulnerabilities in electronic identification protocols o Federative identity management and de-perimeterisation o Biometric verification o (Inter)national applications of biometrics o Impersonation, identity fraud, identity forge and identity theft o Tracing, monitoring and forensics o Proliferation/omnipresence of identification o Threats to democracy and political control Instructions for paper submission Submitted papers must be original, unpublished, and not submitted to another conference or journal for consideration for publication. Papers must be written in English; they should be at most 14 pages long in total. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published in the conference proceedings by the official IFIP publisher: Springer Science and Business Media. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the conference and present the paper. Papers must be submitted in electronic form through the web. Papers must be submitted using the EasyChair conference management system at: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ifipidman13 Please send any enquiries to: webmaster(a)idman2013.com Important dates Deadline for submissions: Friday 26 October 2012 Notifications to authors: Friday 14 December 2012 Camera-ready due: Friday 18 January 2013 Opening of conference: Monday 8 April 2013 Conference organisation General Chair Chris Mitchell, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Programme Committee Chairs Simone Fischer-Hübner, Karlstad University, Sweden Elisabeth de Leeuw, Netherlands Organising Committee Chairs Haitham Al-Sinani, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Marcelo Carlomagno Carlos, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Program Committee Rose-Marie Åhlfeldt, Skövde University, Sweden Haitham Al-Sinani, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Claudio Ardagna, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Alessandro Armando, FBK, Italy Bharat Bhargava, Purdue University, USA Sonja Buchegger, Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden David Chadwick, University of Kent, UK Sara Foresti, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy Lothar Fritsch, Norwegian Computing Center, Norway Steven Furnell, University of Plymouth, UK Stefanos Gritzalis, University of the Aegean, Greece Marit Hansen, Independent Centre for Privacy Protection Schleswig-Holstein, Germany Hans Hedbom, Karlstad University, Sweden Alejandro Hevia, Universidad de Chile, Chile Jaap-Henk Hoepman, TNO and Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands Bart Jacobs, Radboud Universiteit, Netherlands Lech Janczewski, University of Auckland, New Zealand Ronald Leenes, Tilburg University, Netherlands Javier Lopez, University of Malaga, Spain Raj Muttukrishnan, City University, UK Andreas Pashalidis, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium Aljosa Pasic, Atos Origin, Spain Siani Pearson, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, UK Guenther Pernul, Regensburg University, Germany Geraint Price, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Kai Rannenberg, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany Anne Karen Seip, Kredittilsynet, Norway Einar Snekkenes, Gjövik University College, Norway Rama Subramaniam, Valiant Technologies, India Pedro Veiga, University of Lisbon, Portugal Jozef Vyskoc, VaF, Slovakia

Fwd: [AISWorld] CFP: Workshop on Business Processes and Services, December 15, 2012, Orlando, FL

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CFP: Workshop on Business Processes and Services, December 15, 2012, Orlando, FL Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 17:40:06 +0800 From: Wei Thoo Yue <wtyue99(a)gmail.com> To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *SIGBPS Workshop on Business Processes and Services* December 15, 2012, Orlando, Florida, USA AIS-SIGBPS Website: www.s <http://fbstaff.cityu.edu.hk/jlzhao/SIGBPS/>igbps.org <http://fbstaff.cityu.edu.hk/jlzhao/SIGBPS/> Workshop Website: www.s <http://fbstaff.cityu.edu.hk/jlzhao/SIGBPS/>igbps.org <http://fbstaff.cityu.edu.hk/jlzhao/SIGBPS/>_/bps12_ (in conjunction with International Conference on Information Systems) The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new research directions in the area of business process management and business service automation. A critical goal of the workshop is to cultivate high quality research concerning Internet-enabled business processes and services, which include new technological advances such as cloud computing, mobile commerce, service virtualization, and big data analysis. This workshop aims to extend the boundaries of research in business process management by integrating new elements that have not been sufficiently emphasized in the past.The recent rapid advances in information systems have created both challenges and opportunities to develop new business services via innovative business processes.For instance, we know how to automate routine, formal business processes but have not really attempted computerizing ad hoc processes that may emerge spontaneously and have short life span. These may include examples like setting up ad hoc meetings that may involve a number of people from different places, different IT devices and platforms, an evolving agenda, a set of documents as inputs and outputs and some decisions and outcomes. Such meetings are often very valuable but also time consuming to organize and manage. Another important area of interest of this workshop is to promote theoretical efforts in business processes.The business process modeling and automation research has been largely driven by the need to solve practical problems. There has been a lack of strong theories in this area and we believe that it is essential to develop new theories about business process and service automation. The Process Virtualization Theory (http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1085328), proposed by Eric Overby, presents an excellent example of such theories and provides a great starting point for a theoretical discussion at the workshop. Given the nature and purposes of this workshop, we invite papers of no more than five pages that are well articulated and formatted in _single line spacing, Times New Roman, 12 pt, 1 inch margins_.We particularly seek position papers but also welcome conceptual papers with a strong theoretical flavor, as well as completed research papers or research-in-progress papers. Suggested research topics include, but not limited to, the following ones: ·Cloud computing and process management ·Collaborative processes in social media ·Coordination and cooperation mechanisms for process management ·Data mining for process technologies and management ·Financial service applications ·Frameworks and methodologies for collaboration processes ·Healthcare and process management ·Human resource management under distributed process technologies ·Metrics and measurements in business processes and services ·Evaluations of business process and service implementations ·Mobile commerce and process management ·Organization and culture issues in process automation ·Process competencies in information intensive businesses ·Process management methodologies ·Business process theories and applications ·Technology and architecture issues in process driven organizations ·Telecommuting and process modeling ·Workflows in collaborative operations and systems ·Consequences of process and service virtualization ·Possible emergence of novel virtual intermediaries ·Public policy implications *Conference Chairs:* J.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CfP ECIS 2013 - Track "Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management" Datum: Sun, 16 Sep 2012 12:18:16 +0200 (CEST) Von: Stefan.Smolnik(a)ebs.edu Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 21st European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2013) Track: "Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management" (https://sites.google.com/site/ecis2013nl/the-conference/tracks-and-keynotes…) June 05-08, 2013, Utrecht, Netherlands (http://www.ecis2013.nl <http://www.ecis2013.nl/>) ************************************************ *************************** Deadline for paper submissions: December 7, 2012 =========================================== Track Description =============== Business intelligence (BI) and knowledge management (KM) contribute significantly to an organisation's competitiveness and development. Both domains provide means to leverage organisational information and knowledge assets for efficient and effective decision making. In order to provide enduring value, the decision makers must rely on consolidated, timely, and accurate information as well as on a current and context-rich knowledge base that are correlated with the organisational setting and environment. For this reason, BI and KM become more and more important in global settings. The influence of aspects like geographical dispersion, communication across time zones as well as cultural influence crossing borders is a topically focus issue in current research. BI and KM represent an essential component of the enterprise application landscape. BI comprises a broad selection of technologies, applications, and processes to support data analysis and decision making in organisations and across organisational and societal borders. Complementary, KM focuses on capturing the right knowledge, providing it to the right user, and using this knowledge to improve (inter-)organisational and/ or individual performance. Although addressed by research for a long time, both domains are still evolving. For example, new applications, innovative technologies, and increasing maturity of BI and KM solutions demand for adequate methodological and technical advice as well as for the performance measurement of organisational applications. In such settings, BI and KM design, acceptance, and deployment are influenced by a variety of additional aspects, in particular cultural aspects. Consequently, various disciplines have to contribute developing comprehensive and reliable (global) BI and KM settings. This track aims to promote multi-disciplinary contributions dealing with a managerial, an economic, a methodological, a cultural, or a technical perspective on BI and KM. Submissions based on theoretical research, design research, action research, or behavioural research are encouraged. We welcome both full research papers and research in progress papers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ======================================= * Support for mature BI and KM solutions: BI/ KM governance, BI/ KM strategies, BI/ KM maturity models, BI/ KM success factors, and BI/KM performance * Cross-border/ cross-cultural BI and KM * Emerging trends in BI: pervasive BI, BI 2.0 (social media and BI), and mobile BI * Real time data warehousing and operational BI, event-driven BI, BAM * Applications of BI, such as customer relationship management and business performance management * Data warehousing and data integration * Predictive and advanced analytics, and data visualisation * Insight-to-action decision support * Analytics as a Service * Data, text and web mining for BI * Management of knowledge and business process improvement * Social and behavioural issues in KM * Mobile technologies and social media usage in KM * Capturing and sharing knowledge in social networks and distributed contexts * Design, development, adoption, usage, and impact of KM systems * Inter-organisational KM and KM systems, such as in the supply chain * KM and learning Track Chairs =========== Christian Janiesch, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, christian.janiesch(a)kit.edu (Primary Contact) Barbara Dinter, University of St.Gallen, Switzerland, barbara.dinter(a)unisg.ch Stefan Smolnik, EBS Business School, Germany, stefan.smolnik(a)ebs.edu Markus Bick, ESCP Europe Wirtschaftshochschule Berlin, Germany, mbick(a)escpeurope.eu Associate Editors =============== Thilini Ariyachandra, Xavier University, USA Sule Balkan, Arizona State University, USA Geneviève Bassellier, McGill University, Canada Yu-Wei Chuang, National Central University, Taiwan Tingting Rachel Chung, Carlow University, USA Alexander Dreiling, Queensland University of Technology, Australia Carsten Felden, Technische Universitaet Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany Hansjörg Fromm, Karlsruhe Institute for Technology, Germany Michael Goul, Arizona State University, USA Bapita Gupta, California State University Monterey Bay, USA Roland Holten, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany Murray E.

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Participation/Papers: SIG Philosophy ICIS 2012 Workshop

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Participation/Papers: SIG Philosophy ICIS 2012 Workshop Datum: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 16:37:29 -0500 Von: Nik R Hassan <nhassan(a)d.umn.edu> An: AISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CONCURRENT â?? ICIS 2012 SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP PHILOSOPHY AND EPISTEMOLOGY OF IS (SIGPHIL) WORKSHOP ON IS THEORY: STATE OF THE ART* *Orlando, Florida - December 16-17, 2012* Â In conjunction with the 2012 International Conference of Information Systems (ICIS), the AIS Special Interest Group on the Philosophy and Epistemology of Information Systems (AIS-SIGPHIL) will hold its second concurrent-ICIS SIGPHIL Research Workshop during two evenings of the ICIS conference in Orlando, Florida. Although labeled as a workshop, this event provides an opportunity to attend the ICIS conference and at the same time spend quality time with thought leaders of the IS community in an informal and friendly environment. Â *WORKSHOP PRESENTERS AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE (in alphabetical order)* Shirley Gregor, Australian National University, Australia Varun Grover, Clemson University, USA Kalle Lyytinen, Case Western Reserve University, USA Detmar Straub, Georgia State University, USA Ron Weber, Monash University, Australia Â *PROGRAM * The debate surrounding the theoretical foundations of the IS field has been around since its inception. Ever since Dearden (1972,"MIS is a Mirage" <#_ENREF_5>) questioned the very concept of MIS itself and Keen (1980 <#_ENREF_9>) called for building a cumulative tradition, numerous articles, journal special issues, panels and discussions surrounding similar epistemological issues have manifested itself in various forms ranging from the issue of diversity (Benbasat and Weber 1996 <#_ENREF_3>), relevance (Applegate 1999 <#_ENREF_1>; Gray 2001 <#_ENREF_6>), IS as a reference discipline (Baskerville and Myers 2002 <#_ENREF_2>; Grover et al. 2006 <#_ENREF_8>; Wade et al. 2006 <#_ENREF_13>), identity and "core" of IS (Benbasat and Zmud 2003 <#_ENREF_4>; Gray 2003 <#_ENREF_7>; Lyytinen and King 2004 <#_ENREF_10>; Weber 2006 <#_ENREF_14>; Weber 2012 <#_ENREF_15>), and more recently whether or not the IS field actually has "native theories" (Straub 2012 <#_ENREF_12>). Is this issue overstated and merely the result of framing the question? Or is it a fundamental concern that requires a conceptual analysis (Markus and Saunders 2007, "Looking for a Few Good Concepts...And Theories...For the Information Systems Field" <#_ENREF_11>)? This year's concurrent SIG Philosophy ICIS workshop examines this issue, in particular, what "native theories" mean to the IS field, from the point of view of several senior scholars of the IS field involved in the debate. Going beyond defending the merits of their viewpoints, the speakers and panelists will focus on how future research could help build theories that will enhance the IS field. *Sun, Dec 16, 2012* 6:00-7:30pm ICIS reception 7:30-8:15pm Presentation/Discussion led by Prof. Detmar Straub on â??Native IS theories.â?? 8:15-9:30pm Panel discussion with panelists Prof. Ron Weber, Kalle Lyytinen and Varun Grover responding to Prof Straub's presentation and focusing on building IS theories. 9:30-10:00pm Open Discussion Â *Mon, Dec 17, 2012* 6:00-7:00pm Dinner 7:00-8:00pm Presentation by Invited Philosophy Speaker on Epistemology and Theory Building 8:00-9:00pm Presentation by Prof. Shirley Gregor on Design Science theories followed by discussant Prof. Ben Mueller 9:00-10:00pm Workshop paper reviews 10:00pm Workshop wrap-up Â *WORKSHOP PAPER REVIEWS* We invite you to submit your philosophy-related works, or works-in-progress to be reviewed by selected discussants. Papers can be as short as 2 pages or full-length papers. Papers should be designed to encourage in-depth discussion during the workshop. Submitting authors will present their papers and discussants will be selected to discuss each paper. We are particularly interested in papers that address the theoretical foundations of the IS field. However, we welcome all papers on any IS philosophy-related topics. Doctoral students and junior faculty members are especially encouraged to submit their research. Student papers will be given special consideration. The SIGPhil can provide written confirmation for authors needing support for conference travel. Submit all papers to nhassan(a)d.umn.edu <mailto:nhassan@d.umn.edu> before October 31^st , 2012.
