Based on this virtualization the Cloud Computing paradigm allows workloads to be deployed and scaled-out quickly through the rapid provisioning of virtual machines or physical machines. A Cloud Computing platform supports redundant, self-recovering, highly scalable programming models that allow workloads to recover from many inevitable hardware/software failures and monitoring resource use in real time for providing physical and virtual servers on which the applications can run. A Cloud Computing platform is more than a collection of computer resources because it provides a mechanism to manage those resources. In a Cloud Computing platform software is migrating from the desktop into the "clouds" of the Internet, promising users anytime, anywhere access to their programs and data. What challenges does it presents to users, programmers, and telecommunications providers?

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters: Harnessing the Power of Social Media and Web Analytics: Techniques, Tools, and Applications
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Sep '12

11 Sep '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters: Harnessing the Power of Social Media and Web Analytics: Techniques, Tools, and Applications Datum: Tue, 11 Sep 2012 17:03:22 +0000 Von: Anteneh Ayanso <AAyanso(a)brocku.ca> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Editors:* Anteneh Ayanso (Brock University, Canada) Kevin Lertwachara (California Polytechnic State University, USA.) *Call for Chapters* Proposals Submission Deadline: October 15, 2012 Full Chapters Due: February 15, 2013 Submission Date: July 31, 2013 *Introduction:* The Internet has dominantly become the most cost effective and efficient communication channel between organizations and customers today. In particular, social media has opened a new marketing channel for marketers to attract new customers and improve their performance. Compared with the slow growth of traditional marketing channels, social media continues to grow at a steady rate. Businesses are increasingly recognizing that greater visibility on the Internet and social media captures customers' interest in their businesses and product or service offerings. Despite the significant role social media is playing in business, scholarly research on the analytics that drive social media marketing is very limited. Given the new frontiers and issues social media deals with, traditional performance metrics and frameworks may not properly serve the needs of marketers in monitoring and evaluating their social marketing endeavors. There is also limited work that attempts to synthesize the developments and practices in social media and web analytics. This book proposes to address this need by bringing academic and practitioner perspectives on social media and web analytics. The book is intended to be an important reference for academics and practitioners on the recent developments as well as the various tools, techniques, and applications of social media and web analytics. * Objectives of the Book:* Social media analytics involves algorithms, models, tools, practices, and metrics to monitor brands, industry, and competition across social media and the web. Social media analytics empowers businesses to derive intelligence from popular social media sites by analyzing conversation data. It provides the foundation to social CRM strategy by allowing businesses to quantify, understand, and respond to customers' conversations about their corporate reputation and brands within online communities. It involves sentiment and behavioral analysis, and monitoring customer interactions within online communities. >From research perspectives, academics in the fields of information systems and marketing are currently generating several new ideas, modeling perspectives, and research directions. Documenting and synthesizing these research outputs and making them available to practitioners and future researchers will be extremely valuable. Therefore, the overall mission of this proposed book is to contribute towards this goal by documenting high quality research outputs, industry practices, and future research directions on social media and web analytics. *Target Audience:* The proposed book can serve both academic and industry audiences. In academic context, the book can be utilized either as a primary or supplementary reference on the theoretical perspectives, techniques, models, and software applications of social media analytics. The book can also serve as up-to-date reference on the current and potential future applications and practices of social media and web analytics in various industries. *Suggested Topics:* The following are some recommended topics. Any other related topics will be considered. Social Media and Marketing . Social Media Platforms and Tools . Social Media Opportunities and Challenges . Social Media Current and Future Trends . Social Marketing Metrics and Key Performance Indicators . Social Analytics and Business Insights . Data Management for Social Analytics . Qualitative and Quantitative Techniques and Algorithms (related to social media) . Machine Learning and AI techniques (related to social media) . Brand Monitoring and Customer Listening Techniques (related to social media) . Fan Profiling and Segmentation Techniques . Measuring Social Marketing ROI . Measuring Social Customer Life Time Value . Measuring Social Customer Acquisition and Retention Costs . Google Social Analytics and Social Reports . Facebook Page Insights . Twitter's Advertiser Analytics .

Fwd: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters in Knowledge Management & Competitive Advantage
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Sep '12

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Call for Chapters in Knowledge Management & Competitive Advantage Date: Sat, 8 Sep 2012 11:52:06 -0400 (EDT) From: Michael A Chilton <mchilton(a)ksu.edu> Reply-To: Michael A. Chilton <mchilton(a)ksu.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CALL FOR CHAPTERS* *Proposal Submission Deadline: October 15, 2012* */Knowledge Management for Competitive Advantage: Issues and Potential Solutions/* A book to be published by IGI Global, edited by Michael A. Chilton and James M. Bloodgood Kansas State University *Introduction* Knowledge is the one of the most critical organizational resources.The creation, acquisition, transfer, use, and protection of knowledge provide opportunities for organizations to create and sustain competitive advantage. To do so, organizations must be able to build and sustain knowledge within their core businesses, yet protect much of that knowledge from discovery by competitors.This book will present papers that will help knowledge management researchers as well as practitioners as they seek to distinguish themselves from the competition through the effective use of knowledge.For example, this book will provide researchers with ways to better integrate knowledge management practices with theories such as the resource-based view and institutional theory, thereby advancing the ability of these theories to make a greater contribution to the literature.The book is intended to answer questions such as: 1.To what degree should organizations attempt to protect various types of knowledge they create or possess? 2.What ways of protecting organizational knowledge are most effective? 3.Are there specific types of knowledge that are more vulnerable than others, and if so, how can they be better protected? 4.Can an organization prevent loss of knowledge through employee turnover/retirement?If so, how? *Objective of the Book* This book will advance the current scope of research in support of knowledge management by primarily focusing on how knowledge can be used to create competitive advantages and sustain them. We challenge potential authors to use theoretically-based logic to conceptualize new theory, integrate existing theory, develop new models, or empirically test data associated with knowledge management and competitive advantage.A variety of theories can be used to meet this challenge.For example, institutional theory suggests that in environments with a high degree of uncertainty there is an increased likelihood for firms to imitate other firms.Although this can help a firm achieve parity, it hinders the firm in achieving competitive advantage.New and updated models may be able to explain the process whereby firms can combine imitation and innovation to achieve competitive advantage. *Target Audience * The potential audience of this book will come primarily from the information systems and management disciplines. In addition, there is a significant amount of research into knowledge management and competitive advantage in marketing. This compendium will target those who work and/or perform research in the areas of knowledge management, strategic management, and competitive assessment and advantage. In addition, the proposed book will assist the prospective audience (e.g. professors, students, researchers, practitioners) in guiding their work toward more productive additions to the literature and to the practice of management. A wide range of topics will be included in this book.The main emphasis will be on the intersection of knowledge management and achieving sustainable competitive advantage.Particular areas of interest are at the strategic, managerial, and individual levels of the firm.*Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:* Management of Knowledge Types & Quality Â·Are there different types of knowledge that need protection (e.g., tacit & explicit; strategic vs. tactical)?If so, what is the impact on competitiveness if knowledge leaks occur? Â·Management of employeesâ?? exposureto different knowledge types Â·Different methods of managing different knowledge types Â·The effects of knowledge quality on competitive advantage: oDeep vs. surface oGeneral vs. domain specific oVerbal vs. pictorial Knowledge Management and Sustainable Competitive Advantage Â·Creating knowledge that can be protected Â·Knowledge protection practices Â·Importance of protection for particular types of knowledge Individuals and Knowledge Management Â·Matching of organizational members and knowledge types Â·Work processes associated with building knowledge for competitive advantage Â·Employee turnover and knowledge management Â·Employee retirements and knowledge management Knowledge Management and Relationships Â·Knowledge and its effects on external relationships with vendors Â·Knowledge and its effects on external relationships with customers Â·Knowledge and its effects on internal relationships across divisions/groups/departments Knowledge Networks Â·The formation and management of knowledge networks Â·Protection of knowledge networks *Submission Procedure * Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before/*October 15, 2012*/, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by */December 15, 2012/* about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by */February 15, 2013/*. We welcome theoretical and empirical pieces as well as papers that demonstrate best practices using a case study approach.Practitioners with experience in any of the above listed areas and who have work related examples to help illustrate the concepts are particularly encouraged to submit a proposal. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project. *Publisher* This book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group Inc.), publisher of the â??Information Science Referenceâ?? (formerly Idea Group Reference), â??Medical Information Science Reference,â?? â??Business Science Reference,â?? and â??Engineering Science Referenceâ?? imprints.
