From niche applications, it has become a central concern across industries and a major topic for researchers across disciplines. The impact has been far-reaching, transforming the lives and practices of professionals and consumers in both the developed and developing worlds. Adjacent industries, such as gaming, music, news, and other media have been caught up in its transformative effects along with mobile operators, handset manufacturers, and the computer industry. While major new competitors have emerged and staked out impressive territories in m-commerce, the turmoil continues apace as once dominant players scramble to catch up again as yet more technologies, ecosystems, and business models strive to redefine industry trajectories and the locus of power. As the top-ranked e-commerce journal, IJEC calls for papers that will make a lasting contribution in defining the research field of m-commerce. This special issue builds on the theme of the International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB 2013) held in Berlin in June 2013: "Mobility - the invisible norm." The primary goal is to foster the creation and dissemination of knowledge in what promises to become one of the most challenging and rewarding areas of research for the next decade. This includes the development of new theoretical foundations as well as insightful empirical research. TOPICS OF INTERESTS We invite submissions in all disciplines, as well as transdisciplinary research. Papers may constitute foundational theoretical analyses, modeling, simulation, and empirical studies addressing any aspect of m-commerce. Authors may propose and validate new theories, examine the applicability of existing theories, explore new nodal phenomena, and present innovative research ideas. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Theory development for m-commerce and mobile information systems Mobile markets and ecosystems M-commerce business models B2C services, applications, and business models B2B services, applications, and business models Mobile marketing Mobile payment systems User behavior and mobile social media Group applications Public services and mobile business Mobiles for development (m4d) Legal, societal, and political aspects Trust and loyalty in m-commerce Small business strategies for m-commerce Security in m-commerce Mobile technologies in business context Platforms and infrastructure SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Manuscripts submitted to the special issue should contain original material not published in nor submitted to other journals.

Please forward this Call for Papers to contacts you have and mailing lists you belong to, that may be interested in it. Motivation Modern enterprises face a strong pressure to increase agility and competitiveness, to operate on the global market, and to engage in manifold alliances. However, the vast majority of strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences, and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These responsibilities can only be borne if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the construction of the enterprise given by a sound engineering aproach. Focus and Goal The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2014 is the fourth working conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering. The goal of the conference is to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about the challenges mentioned above. It is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to address traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise Engineering Paradigm <http://www.ciaonetwork.org/publications/EEManifesto.pdf>. The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant. Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not limited to: * Business Process Management * Business Process Modeling and Simulation * Business Rules * Business Rules Management * Collaborative, Participative, and Interactive Modeling * Component-Based System Development * Domain Ontologies * Domain Reference Ontologies * Enterprise Architecture * Enterprise Governance * Enterprise Modeling and Simulation * Enterprise Ontology * Information System Architectures * Information System Ontologies * Information Systems Design * Information Systems Development * Interoperability Testing and Verification * Modeling (cross-enterprise) Business Processes * Ontology-based Web Services * Participatory Systems * Reference Models for (cross-enterprise) Business Processes * Service Oriented Architecture * Service Oriented Design Organization The 4th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference in 2014 follows the successful preceding conferences in 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the preceding series of workshops (CIAO!'10, CIAO!'09, CIAO!'08, MIOS-CIAO'06, MIOS-INTEROP'05, MIOS'04) held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous workshops and working conferences, the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2014 is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following short presentations. Publication The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series: "Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://www.springer.com/series/7911>". Submission Papers should be submitted in PDF format. The results described must be unpublished and must not be under review elsewhere. Submissions must conform to Springer's LNBIP format and should not exceed 15 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices. Submissions not conforming to the LNBIP format or exceeding 15 pages will be rejected without review. Information about the Springer LNBIP format can be found at Springer LNBIP web page mentioned above. Three to five keywords characterizing the paper should be indicated at the end of the abstract.

But the translation of “lofty ideals” into “actionable proposals” is still more honoured in the breach than the observance. So much of our research and teaching continues to be geared to the interests of commercial enterprises, rather than serving humanistic goals of freedom and emancipation. The theme of this year’s conference is a natural continuance of that of 2013, “Social Information Systems” which called for a broadening of IS research to embrace more of the social sphere: health, social care, public services and community development. As well as contributions focused on the Conference theme, papers addressing any aspect of the IS field are also invited.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP- Knowledge Management in Software Engineering (KMISE) at SEKE 2014 Datum: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:27:09 +0000 Von: ????? ??? <lmeira(a)shenkar.ac.il> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Kopie (CC): meirale(a)bezeqint.net <meirale(a)bezeqint.net>, sr3060(a)columbia.edu <sr3060(a)columbia.edu> The Twenty-Sixth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2014) will be held at Hyatt Regency, Vancouver, Canada from July 1 to July 3, 2014. http://www.ksi.edu/seke/seke14.html **Call for papers** Knowledge Management in Software Engineering (KMISE) at SEKE 2014 Knowledge management (KM) has been recognized as an essential component of knowledge-intensive processes, such as software engineering. Current software development processes suffer all too often from inappropriate project costs and duration estimations, cancelation and failures. The developed software product is frequently found fragile and unreliable; not fully complying with the requirements; difficult to upgrade and more. KM can facilitate software engineering by different ways, e.g., increasing the reuse of development experience, processes and products and creating a communication layer between developers and end-users. Current KM systems enable to organize the accumulated experience for better storage and retrieval and open internal communication channels within the development teams and external communication channels between the organization and the end-users, throughout the development and integration processes. The Knowledge Management in Software Engineering track will focus on research that examines real settings where KM is embedded in SE (or produced with the SE), evaluating its role and influence on the software development process and its outcomes. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution and the relation to previous research. ** *Suggested topics: * ·Tools and technologies for managing knowledge in SE ·Methodologies for embedding KM practices in SE ·Empirical evidence for implementing KM in SE: risks, costs and benefits, and lessons learned ·KM models in SE ·Key performance indicators (KPI?s) for measuring and evaluating the influence of KM ·Incentive programs for enhancing KM adoption ·KM in worldwide-distributed development teams ·KM as derived product of system usage analysis (e.g. usage patterns, tacit organizational culture and processes) ·KM and SE decision making ·KM contribution to efficiency (e.g. reuse, cost reduction) ·SE developer satisfactions. *Organizers:* *Meira Levy*(corresponding organizer) Department of IEM Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, Israel lmeira(a)shenkar.ac.il <mailto:lmeira@shenkar.ac.il> ** *Irit Hadar * Dept. of Information Systems University of Haifa, Israel hadari(a)is.haifa.ac.il <mailto:hadari@is.haifa.ac.il> http://is.haifa.ac.il/~hadari <http://is.haifa.ac.il/%7Ehadari> *Sivan Rapaport* Marketing Division Columbia Business School, USA sr3060(a)columbia.edu <mailto:sr3060@columbia.edu> ***Submission*** * *Papers must be written in English.

However, the vast majority of strategic initiatives in enterprises fail, meaning that enterprises are unable to gain success from their strategy. The key reason for these failures is the lack of coherence and consistency among the various components of an enterprise. At the same time, the need to operate as a unified and integrated whole is becoming increasingly important. Currently, these challenges are dominantly addressed from a functional or managerial perspective, as advocated by the management and organization sciences, and as implemented in MBA programs. Such knowledge is indeed necessary for managing an enterprise, but it is inadequate for bringing about changes in a fully systematic and integrated way. To do that, one needs to take a constructional or engineering perspective. In addition, both organizations and software applications are complex systems, prone to entropy. This means that in the course of time, the costs of bringing about similar changes increase in a way that is known as combinatorial explosion. Entropy can be reduced and managed effectively through modular design based on atomic elements. Lastly, the individual persons in an enterprise, in cooperation, are ultimately responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the enterprise. They are also collectively responsible for the evolution of the enterprise, in order to meet new challenges. These responsibilities can only be borne if members have an appropriate knowledge and an effective awareness of the construction of the enterprise given by a sound engineering aproach. **Focus and Goal** The Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2014 is the fourth working conference in the emerging field of Enterprise Engineering. The goal of the conference is to gather academics and practitioners in order to share innovative research issues and practical experiences, and to facilitate profound discussions about the challenges mentioned above. It is the mission of the discipline of Enterprise Engineering to develop new, appropriate theories, models, methods and other artifacts for the analysis, design, implementation, and governance of enterprises by combining (relevant parts of) management and organization science, information systems science, and computer science. The ambition is to address traditional topics in said disciplines from the Enterprise Engineering Paradigm <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBRoBAR1SDQ> . The result of the efforts should be theoretically rigorous and practically relevant. Topics of interest to this working conference include, but are not limited to: Business Process ManagementBusiness Process Modeling and SimulationBusiness RulesBusiness Rules ManagementCollaborative, Participative, and Interactive ModelingComponent-Based System DevelopmentDomain OntologiesDomain Reference OntologiesEnterprise ArchitectureEnterprise GovernanceEnterprise Modeling and SimulationEnterprise OntologyInformation System ArchitecturesInformation System OntologiesInformation Systems DesignInformation Systems DevelopmentInteroperability Testing and VerificationModeling (cross-enterprise) Business ProcessesOntology-based Web ServicesParticipatory SystemsReference Models for (cross-enterprise) Business ProcessesService Oriented ArchitectureService Oriented Design **Organization** The 4th Enterprise Engineering Working Conference in 2014 follows the successful preceding conferences in 2013, 2012 and 2011 and the preceding series of workshops (CIAO!?10, CIAO!?09, CIAO!?08, MIOS-CIAO?06, MIOS-INTEROP?05, MIOS?04) held at the DESRIST, CAiSE and OTM Federated conferences. We are looking for articles on current or recently finished research projects as well as articles from practitioners. Based on our motivating experience of the previous workshops and working conferences, the Enterprise Engineering Working Conference 2014 is planned to be a real working conference, providing ample time for profound discussions following short presentations. **Publication** The EEWC proceedings will be published in the Springer LNBIP series: ?Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing <http://ciaonetwork.org/phplist/lt.php?id=YU0CBBoBAR1SDQ> ?. **Submission** Papers should be submitted in PDF format.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call For Papers - BITWorld 2014 - May 21-23, LAS VEGAS, USA Datum: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 10:57:27 +0000 Von: Spyridon Samonas <ssamonas(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *CALL FOR PAPERS* ** BITWorld 2014 ** **** 16th International Conference on Business Information Technology **** *May 21-23, 2014, LAS VEGAS, USA* *Papers submission deadline: January 31, 2014* *http://bit-world.us* <http://bit-world.us/> *Background* The year was 1997 and a bunch of colleagues had gotten together in the CSA Bar at Cranfield University, UK. The game of darts was in full swing. An idea popped ? how interesting would it be to organize a Business Information Technology conference at a location where traditionally such conferences never venture to be. Very quickly New Delhi as a location was suggested. An email was sent to Professor Gordon Davis at the University of Minnesota to be the inaugural keynote speaker. And without much ado, we had an event at our hands. Professor Rekha Jain of Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad became the local organizing chair. In years to come the conference grew from strength to strength and events were organized in South Africa, Egypt, Ecuador, Mexico among other places. For the past few years though, BITWorld was co-hosted with CITED in Nigeria, CoDE in Thailand and China and CISTM in India. The next event is being decoupled from the co-hosts and will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada on the *21-23 May 2014*. We look forward to carrying forward a rich tradition of BITWorld events in 2014 and beyond. BITWorld includes a full program of papers, presentations, keynotes and publishing events, and aspires to bring together academics, researchers and practitioners from all over the world to engage in dialogue and exchange ideas on the latest developments and challenges in Information Technology. *Scope and Aims* The conference aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in studying and discussing a range of leadership challenges as these might relate to their particular businesses and industry. Such dialogue will facilitate the development of agendas for further research and development. We invite you to consider submitting your research papers, workshop or tutorial proposals for consideration. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Leading technical teams through organizational change - Key issues in managing IT related change - IT Leadership development theories and practices - Developing and sustaining IT competencies - Leadership profiles for successful IT projects - Recruiting, training and retaining the right IT leadership - Identifying future IT leaders - Leadership challenges in aligning IT and business - Gaining strategic advantages from IT - Strategic planing for IT - Governance practices in IT - Managing the IT function - Managing IT for business value - The influence of politics and culture on IT decisions *Submission Details: * Participation can be in the following categories (but not limited to): Industry Participants: If you have an interesting story to share we welcome your participation. We can guarantee an engaging participation from the floor, where you can discuss and talk freely about what you have been thinking. We just require a title of your presentation, a few lines describing your topic area and a brief biographical note (about a 100 words). If you agree, we will video record your presentation and make it available for a wider audience. If you rather not be recorded, we understand. Academic Participants: We encourage you to submit an abstract, a full paper, a research note, or a case study.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CfP: First Workshop on Process Modeling Support Systems, 19 March 2014, University of Vienna Datum: Sat, 21 Dec 2013 13:30:15 +0100 Von: Koschmider, Agnes (AIFB) <agnes.koschmider(a)kit.edu> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> 2nd Call for Papers: ----------------------------------------------------- *First Workshop on Process Modeling Support Systems (ProMoS 2014) at Modellierung 2014* *http://pmss.wi.uni-muenster.de/home*** ** 19 March 2014, University of Vienna ----------------------------------------------------- ** *Background* A variety of different implementation strategies for process modeling support exists such as syntax-based auto-completion features, knowledge-based recommender systems or AI-based planning approaches. These mechanisms increasingly gain attention in the Business Process Management (BPM) and Conceptual Modeling community. In particular, they are intended to ease the model construction phase typically following a mixed-initiative approach where the human and the support system work in close cooperation. Due to the great variety of techniques and use cases of modeling support systems research is scattered amongst different sub-communities of the large BPM and Conceptual Modeling community and a common ground for discussion and empirical evaluation of these approaches is not yet established. Therefore, we aim to bring together researchers working on modeling support techniques, to discuss novel modeling support techniques as well as possibilities to prove their effectiveness. The workshop is planned as a full day event. Also, a demo session is planned where contributors will have the opportunity to present their modeling support tools. Therefore, contributors are invited to submit original research papers addressing relevant aspects of modeling support techniques. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Process modeling support methods and strategies - Process modeling support features and algorithms - Querying, filtering and ranking of results - Visualization techniques and user interface - Architectures and implementation issues - Empirical studies that validate the efficiency, applicability, and utility Peer-reviewed workshop papers will be published as part of the CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEUR-WS.org). Two kinds of contributions are sought: short position papers (not to exceed 6 pages) describing particular challenges or experiences relevant to the scope of the workshop, and full research papers (not to exceed 12 pages) describing novel solutions to the scope of the workshop. All papers should be submitted through the ProMoS EasyChair Account. *Workshop Organizers* - Patrick Delfmann, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster - Michael Fellmann, Universität Osnabrück - Agnes Koschmider, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie *Important Dates* -Submission: 2013-12-31 -Notification of acceptance: 2014-01-27 -Submission of camera-ready papers: 2014-02-23 -Workshop: 2013-03-19 ------------------------------------- Dr. Agnes Koschmider Karlsruhe Institute of Technology Phone: 0721 608 44514 Fax: 0721 608 44548

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP: Semantics For Big Data. Special issue of the Semantic Web journal Datum: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 22:42:06 -0500 Von: Pascal Hitzler <pascal.hitzler(a)wright.edu> An: pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de <pascal(a)pascal-hitzler.de> Call for papers: Special issue of the Semantic Web journal on SEMANTICS FOR BIG DATA http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/call-papers-special-issue-semantic… One of the key challenges in making use of Big Data lies in finding ways of dealing with heterogeneity, diversity, and complexity of the data, while its volume and velocity forbid solutions available for smaller datasets as based, e.g., on manual curation or manual integration of data. Semantic Web Technologies are meant to deal with these issues, and indeed since the advent of Linked Data a few years ago, they have become central to mainstream Semantic Web research and development. We can easily understand Linked Data as being a part of the greater Big Data landscape, as many of the challenges are the same. The linking component of Linked Data, however, puts an additional focus on the integration and conflation of data across multiple sources. Possible Topics Topics of interest focus explicitly on the interplay of Semantics and Big Data, and include the use of semantic metadata and ontologies for Big Data, the use of formal and informal semantics, the integration and interplay of deductive (semantic) and statistical methods, methods to establish semantic interoperability between data sources, ways of dealing with semantic heterogeneity, scalability of Semantic Web methods and tools, and semantic approaches to the explication of requirements from eScience applications. Submissions Deadline: January 20, 2014 - extensions are possible on request Submissions shall be made through the Semantic Web journal website at http://www.semantic-web-journal.net. Note that you need to request an account on the website for submitting a paper. Please indicate in the cover letter that it is for the "Semantics for Big Data" special issue. Submissions are possible in all standing paper type of the journal, see http://www.semantic-web-journal.net/authors for descriptions: full research papers, surveys, linked dataset descriptions, ontology descriptions, application reports, tool/systems reports.
