-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Announcement of EC-TEL 2014 | 16-19 September 2014 | Graz Datum: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:24:18 +0100 Von: Christoph Rensing <Christoph.Rensing(a)kom.tu-darmstadt.de> An: Verborgene_Empfaenger:; (Apologies for cross-posting) ANNOUNCEMENT Ninth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2014) Open Learning and Teaching in Educational Communities 16-19 September, 2014 Graz, Austria http://ectel2014.httc.de We are happy to announce first information about EC-TEL 2014. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE ================================================ The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) is a unique opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to address current challenges and advances in the field. Through EC-TEL, established and emerging researchers as well as practitioners, entrepreneurs, and technology developers explore new collaborations, strengthen networks, and complement their core expertise. VENUE ================================================ EC-TEL 2014 will take place between 16 and 19 September 2014 in Graz. Graz – the second largest city in Austria – offers ideal conditions for academic conferences set in beautiful countryside. Guests are always enthusiastic about the picturesque Old Town, the attractive cultural program and the quality and diversity of the cuisine. THEME ================================================ Educational arrangements in our modern society are increasingly characterized by openness in terms of participation, of institutionalisation as well as of tools, devices and resources used. We see shifts between formal, non-formal and informal learning. Learners come together in different social settings and communities (such as in groups in schools, teams in a company, or in informal communities of learners). They share and co-create educational resources and interact with an ever increasing number of open educational resources. Learning communities differ in dimension from local ones, through distributed groups up to global communities (as witnessed by the emerging MOOCs paradigm). The learners use multiple computational tools and devices, often at the same time (e.g. tablets and smartphones for individual learning, interactive tables and electronic whiteboards for collaboration, or mobile technologies for taking learning outside the classroom). Access to the open educational arrangements takes place in a mobile ubiquitous fashion. There is a pressing need to understand how learning in such open educational communities happens and how learning and teaching technology can support in this context. To address these challenges the theme of EC-TEL 2014 is "Open Learning and Teaching in Educational Communities". EC-TEL 2014 is collocated with the 14th International Conference on Knowledge Management and Knowledge Computing (I-KNOW 2014). The focus of I-KNOW is on knowledge management and knowledge computing. I-KNOW will consider technologies and methods which are of high relevance to support smart learning. CONFERENCE TOPICS AND CALL FOR PAPERS ================================================ Conference Topics and Call for Papers will be announced in mid-January. DATES ================================================ Papers, Short Papers, Posters & Demonstrations: Mandatory submission of an abstract 24 March 2014 Submission of full version 2 April 2014 Notification of acceptance 4 June 2014 Conference: Workshops 16-17 September 2014 Doctoral Consortium 16-17 September 2014 Main conference 17-19 September 2014 ================================================ CONFERENCE ORGANISATION General Chair: Tobias Ley, Tallinn University, Estonia Program Chairs: Sara de Freitas, Curtin University, Australia Christoph Rensing, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Demo an Poster Chair: Pedro J.

A position paper presents an arguable opinion about an issue. The goal of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth listening to, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. It is, nevertheless, important to support your argument with evidence to ensure the validity of your claims. A position paper may be a short report and discussion of ideas, facts, situations, methods, procedures or results of scientific research (bibliographic, experimental, theoretical, or other) focused on one of the conference topics. Please check further details about position papers submission at the conference website (http://www.iceis.org/GuidelinesTemplates.aspx). The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC), held in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), ACM SIGMIS - ACM Special Interest Group on Management Information Systems, ACM SIGCHI - ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction, ACM SIGART - ACM Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence and IEICE Special Interest Group on Software Interprise Modelling (SWIM) and in collaboration with the Informatics Research Center (IRC). INSTICC is Member of the Object Management Group (OMG) and Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). The Science and Technology Events (SCITEVENTS) will be the Logistics Partner. ICEIS is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 307 submissions, 8% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 24% were presented as short papers and 27% as posters. Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support. The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP, EI (Elsevier Index) and Scopus. All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SCITEPRESS Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). SCITEPRESS is member of CrossRef (http://www.crossref.org/). We also would like to highlight the possibility to submit to the following Satellite Workshops and Special Session: Workshops: - 1st International Workshop on Optimization and Decision Support Systems for Sustainability - ODSSS 2014 (http://www.iceis.org/ODSSS.aspx) - 3rd International Workshop on Web Intelligence - WEBI 2014 (http://www.iceis.org/WEBI.aspx) - 11th International Workshop on Security in Information Systems - WOSIS 2014 (http://www.iceis.org/WOSIS.aspx) - 3rd International Workshop on Interaction Design in Educational Environments - IDEE 2014 (http://www.iceis.org/IDEE.aspx) Special Session: - Special Session on Information Systems Security - ISS 2014 (http://www.iceis.org/ISS.aspx) A Doctoral Consortium on Enterprise Information Systems will take place in conjunction with ICEIS and aims to provide an opportunity for graduate students to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished experts in the field (http://www.iceis.org/DoctoralConsortium.aspx). Further to this, we are glad to announce the tutorial of Jan L.G. Dietz that will be held during the conference and for which you can register.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] ICWE 2014: 2nd call for papers Datum: Thu, 19 Dec 2013 16:13:11 +0100 Von: Sven Casteleyn <Sven.Casteleyn(a)upv.es> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *ICWE 2014 - 14th International Conference on Web Engineering* /"Engineering the Web for users, developers and the crowd"/ * Toulouse, France* |* July 1-4 2014* - http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/ (call for research papers, industrial papers and late breaking results) *IMPORTANT DATES* ***Abstract submission:* February 14, 2014* (23h59 Hawaii Time) * Full paper submission:* February 18, 2014* (23h59 Hawaii Time) * Paper notification:* March 28, 2014* *ICWE 2014 AT A GLANCE* ICWE aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from various disciplines in academia and industry to tackle the emerging challenges in the engineering of Web applications and in the problems of its associated technologies, as well as the impact of those technologies on society and culture. The 14th edition of ICWE is centered around the theme of ?/Engineering the Web for users, developers and the crowd/?, hereby highlighting the importance of all the different people that, somehow, participate in the development process of interactive Web applications and, ultimately, becomes the actors and the main users of the best practices and results of the research performed in the domain of the Web Engineering. ICWE 2014 is innovating with the introduction of six major research tracks: cross-media and mobile applications, HCI and the Web, modelling and engineering web applications, quality aspects of Web applications, social web applications, and Web applications composition and mashups. In addition to the six research tracks, ICWE 2014 also welcomes contributions as demos and posters, student papers to the PhD Symposium, tutorials and workshops, which will be subject of individual calls for papers. The conference will be held at Toulouse, France Toulouse which is the 3rd university city of France and it hosts one of the oldest in Europe (founded in 1229). Further information on the web site http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/. *SUBMISSIONS TO THE RESEARCH TRACKS* This call is concerned by research and industrial contributions in one of the following categories: * Full research papers: mature, original research contribution ideally accompanied with some type of formal/empirical validation, evidence of use in practice and/or demonstration of scalability (18 pages) * Industrial papers: description of commercial solutions that are highly innovative, discuss trends in the market and/or challenge the community to find solutions to new problems (18 pages) * Late breaking results: description of preliminary results and/or ongoing efforts that present new ideas and concepts. (10 pages) Accepted contributions will be included into the ICWE 2014 Springer LNCS proceedings. *ICWE 2014 RESEARCH TRACKS * (further details at http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/main-tracks/) * *Cross-media and mobile Web applications <http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/cross-media-and-mobile-web-applications/>* The modern Web use is nomadic and across various devices - often simultaneously - and the Web experience should be enjoyable, of high quality and consistent across all devices, regardless of the purpose, place and time of use. Such mobile, cross-device usage forces Web developers to evolve or re-invent their engineering methods and techniques to these new requirements and user demands. Web applications have to be tailored to deal with the constraints imposed by mobile technology such as small screens, low (and sometimes expensive) bandwidth, limited browser capabilities, different usage situations, cross- and multi-device use. Simultaneously, modern mobile devices offer a rich set of sensors, available through current Web browsers, allowing Web pages access to geo-location, NFC, and other sensor data, as well as tracking user identity across devices. Also, he rise of the app as an alternative for Web sites is a concern to be addressed to ensure a future, open Web. * *HCI and the Web <http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/hci-and-the-web/>* Most Web applications are conceived as interactive systems that aim at communicating with users. Users do not only consume information via the Web, but can also play an active role by contributing content (e.g., Web 2.0), get involved in the development process of Web applications (e.g., agile and user-centered design processes) and even conceive their own components by interacting with specialized tools (e.g., end-user development tools). In this context, there are many user roles involved in the socio-technical environment encompassing the development of Web applications. This track is devoted to the studies on user interface software and technologies that improve the relationship between users and Web applications. We welcome research focused on improving usability, accessibility, and user experience with Web applications, as well as user-centered design approaches that describe how Web technology and innovative design solutions can help users to better accomplish their tasks over the Web. * *Modeling and Engineering Web applications <http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/modeling-and-engineering-web-application…>* The Modeling and Engineering Web applications track concerns principles, methods, notations, processes, approaches, and tools for supporting the development and evolution of high-quality Web applications in a more effective and efficient way. Model-driven approaches are of particular interest for addressing complexity, scalability, and maintainability of solutions for the development of Web applications, improving communication among participants of the development teams, and supporting the development of innovative tools and process. Furthermore, empirical and comparative studies of applying Web engineering methods and approaches, especially model-driven ones, are of particular interest. * *Quality aspects of Web applications <http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/quality-aspects-of-web-applications/>* The development and usage of Web applications in different platforms and devices are continuously increasing. Web applications have become the most predominant form of software delivery today, with users and businesses choosing to rent or use software rather than buy it. The success of such applications depends on their capability to satisfy the customer needs. This has led to increased attention on quality models, processes and methods that facilitate understanding, evaluating, and especially improving the overall quality of products, processes and quality in use. * *Social Web applications <http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/social-web-applications/>* Social aspects are an integral part of todays Web, and the widespread use of the Web to connect, share and tap into collective knowledge provides a wealth of actionable data. The crowd can be deployed in various ways, i.e. the so-called crowdsourcing and human computation applications, and their generated data is valuable for developers, researchers and marketers alike. Successfully tapping into the crowds knowledge, and gathering, analyzing, and visualizing complex, heterogeneous social data, and putting it to good use are major current challenges. * *Web applications composition and mashups <http://icwe2014.webengineering.org/web-applications-composition-and-mashups/>* Composition on the Web aims to integrate Web services, Web data sources and Web widgets into other Web services or Web applications. Mashups, and especially mashup tools with their modeling languages and instruments for mashup development, bring significant innovation as they tackle integration across the data, API and user interface layers; they aim at simplicity and ease of use rather than completeness of features and full expressiveness (compared to traditional Web programming languages and tools), but still they allow fairly sophisticated development tasks in a Web browser. Hereby, mashups represent an important and emerging strain of Web applications, with their own set of research challenges and opportunities. *ORGANIZATION* General Chair: *Marco Winckler*, University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France Contact: generalchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org <mailto:generalchair.icwe2014@webengineering.org> Program Chairs: * Sven Casteleyn*, Universitat Jaume I, Castellon, Spain *Gustavo Rossi*, Universidad Nacional de la Plata, Argentina Contact: pcchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org <mailto:pcchair.icwe2014@webengineering.org> Research Track chairs/: Cross-media and mobile Web applications/* **In-young Ko*, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea *Niels Olof Bouvin*, Aarhus University, Denmark/ //Contact: mobile.trackchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org <mailto:mobile.trackchair.icwe2014@webengineering.org> HCI and the Web/ *Fabio Paternò*,University of Pisa, Italy *José Antonio Gallud*, Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, Spain Contact: hci.trackchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org / Modeling and Engineering Web applications/ *Marco Brambilla*, Politecnico di Milano, Italy *Manuel Wimmer*, Technical University of Vienna, Austria Contact: modeling.trackchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org /Quality aspects of Web applications// /*Silvia Abrahão*,Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain *Filomena Ferrucci*, Università di Salerno, Italy// Contact: quality.trackchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org /Social Web applications// /*Maria Bielikova*, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia *Flavius Frasincar*, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands Contact: socialweb.trackchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org /Web applications composition and mashups/ *Cesare Pautasso *(University of Lugano, Switzerland) *Takehiro Tokuda* (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) Contact: mashup.trackchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org Demo and Poster Chairs: *Michael Nebeling*, ETH, Switzerland *Jordi Cabot*, INRIA / École des Mines de Nantes, France Contact: demochair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org Phd Symposium Chairs: *Martin Gaedke*, Technische Universitat Chemnitz, Germany *Cinzia Cappiello*, Politecnico di Milano, Italy Contact: phdchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org Tutorial Chairs: *Luis Olsina*, Universidad National de la Pampa, Argentina *Oscar Pastor*, Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, Spain Contact: tutorialchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org <mailto:tutorialchair.icwe2014@webengineering.org> Workshop Chair: *Santiago Melia*, University of Alicante, Spain Contact: workshopchair.icwe2014(a)webengineering.org <mailto:workshopchair.icwe2014@webengineering.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP AMICS 2014 - End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIGOSRA) Datum: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 17:43:25 +0000 Von: Frank Ulbrich <Frank.Ulbrich(a)ufv.ca> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ** ** *20^th Americas Conference on Information Systems* *Savannah, Georgia* *August 7--10, 2014* ** Call for Papers/Reviewers *End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIGOSRA)* Frank Ulbrich <mailto:Frank.ulbrich@ufv.ca>*, *University of the Fraser Valley, Canada Joao Porto de Albuquerque <mailto:jporto@icmc.usp.br>*, *University of Sao Paulo, Brazil This track focuses on advancing research and application of information and communication technologies in the end-user environment to support work processes, improve employee performance, and enhance overall organizational effectiveness in direct support of goals and strategies. We invite research papers on topics related to integrating information and communication technologies in the workplace including end-user innovation, business process redesign/management, project management, technology training and support, industry specific applications, work group technologies, knowledge management as an end-user technology, and technology adoption, assimilation and use. Papers related to curriculum issues, service learning, and other pedagogical topics---including teaching cases---are also invited. The track is open to all types of research. Best papers from the mini-tracks will be considered for submission to the Information Technology, Learning, and Performance Journal (ITLPJ). Please let us know at frank.ulbrich(a)ufv.ca <mailto:frank.ulbrich@ufv.ca> if you are interested in peer-reviewing manuscripts submitted to this track. *Mini-tracks* /Co-creating Innovations/ Carina Ihlström Eriksson <mailto:carina.ihlstrom_eriksson@hh.se>, Birgitta Bergvall-Kåreborn In today's global and competitive market, many organization's innovation processes are shifting character from in-house and closed innovation processes to more open processes where several stakeholders are included to co-create digital innovations. One aim of opening up organization's boundaries is to reach long-term sustainability and growth of both organizations and society while taking human needs into account. Hence, long-term sustainability includes societal and human needs that preserve the environment from a global perspective so that human needs can be met for generations to come. These open approaches are manifested in new approaches to innovation such as open innovation, open source software development and living labs. New digital innovations influence and bring new values to societal and business practices. However, the process of bringing the potential value of an innovation from idea through design to the market is very challenging. By engaging the end-users and other relevant stakeholders into the innovation system and design cycle, it has been shown to improve the innovation capability and ensure applications and services create both user value and market acceptance. Co-creating digital innovation contributes to the emerging challenges of mass-deployment of ICT solutions by bringing the users/consumers/citizens into the innovation system, thereby leveraging a large mass of ideas, knowledge and experiences. Such situated design methodologies have the potential of substantially improving innovation capability and forming the value networks that can realize innovation value that fulfill the needs of the users. One goal then is to engage and empower a diversity of stakeholders in open real-world experimentally driven innovation processes. The IS field is a boundary crossing and co-creative research area where stakeholders, business areas, research disciplines and methods creates a multifaceted research area. In contrast to more traditional IS research contexts, co-creative innovation processes focus on identifying opportunities for digital innovations that contribute to and enrich people's everyday life including individual, organisational and wider societal contexts. Co-creative innovation processes offer interesting issues for theory and practice, creating new knowledge, methods and systems. This mini-track expect papers on a broad range of issues related to innovative and co-creative approaches to digital innovation and engaging all stakeholders in the innovation process and value networks to realize the potential value of an innovation. /Consumerization of IT - BYOD and Beyond/ Rob Nickerson <mailto:RNick@sfsu.edu>, Iris Junglas, Sebastian Köffer Organizations are facing an expanding challenge in managing enterprise information technology: the consumerization of IT. The arrival of consumer-oriented devices and applications into the workplace is re-defining how corporate IT is adopted, delivered, and consumed. Personal devices such as smartphones and tablets may be brought to the workplace by employees (called BYOD) or provided by employers for use by the workforce to help employees in their jobs. Consumer-oriented applications, often in the cloud (such as Dropbox, Skype, Yammer LinkedIn, and GoogleDocs), may be used by employees for work-related activities with or without company sanction. While there is no single, universally accepted definition of IT consumerization, it can loosely be defined as the enterprise use of technologies that were originally designed for the consumer market. End-users have mastered new digital technologies enough to begin to assert their independence from the constraints that the IT department has previously put in place to ensure the compliance, security, and stability of the corporate IT platform. Although the IT department has confronted "rogue" or "shadow" IT efforts in the past and dealt with "End User Computing" in the 1980s and 1990s, the recent technological advancements and the expanding level of IT literacy are changing the nature of how corporate IT and users of IT are managed. While there are numerous industry-oriented articles on the consumerization of IT, little academic research has appeared. This dearth of research publications highlights the need for theoretical and empirical investigation into this topic. The purpose of this mini-track is to provide a forum for presenting research in this new and important area. /End-User Training, Support, and Knowledge Management/ Elizabeth A. Regan <mailto:earegan@mailbox.sc.edu> This mini-track will focus on user training, support, and knowledge management within and across organizations and cultures. Today's anywhere, anytime work environment is made possible by a wide-range of increasingly sophisticated communications and knowledge management technologies. Knowledge management, along with a growing array of collaborative tools and social media, has become increasingly mainstream for managing today's global enterprises. Moreover, the concept of managing end-user knowledge and expertise as an enterprise asset has proven both appealing and elusive. Now with the growth of big data and data mining, the concept of information or knowledge as a corporate asset has been gaining increasing credibility. Managing knowledge assets across a diverse workforce requires technical know-how along with sensitivity to an organization's culture, group dynamics, and individual work styles. Exploratory, theoretical, empirical and descriptive (case studies) papers related to end-user training, support, knowledge management, and knowledge as an asset are invited. /IS and Process Innovation in Collaborative Networks / Paul Drews <mailto:drews@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>, João P. de Albuquerque, Jens Pöppelbuß Today's organizations are highly interconnected in manifold kinds of collaborative networks, such as virtual organizations, enterprise alliances, business ecosystems, supply chains, social networks, and ad-hoc networks (e.g., in disaster scenarios). These connections provide great potentials for organizations as complementary competencies can be brought together, leading to, e.g., product and service innovations, streamlined cross-organizational operations, and advanced uses of IS/IT. However, organizations within these collaborative settings are faced with an increasing socio-technical complexity which not only arises from integrating diverse organizations, their business processes and corresponding IS/IT infrastructures, but also from their interaction with people outside the organizational boundaries and with society (e.g., by mobile devices and social media). Traditional approaches for IS/IT innovation management and organizational change can hardly be applied in this context, as they are generally focused on a single organization with well-defined borders. Hence, the design, management and deployment of IS and process innovations in collaborative networks represent relevant and current challenges for IS research. Answers to these challenges may include, for instance, adapting existing or developing novel IS frameworks, methodologies and approaches to deal with the socio-technical complexity of collaborative networks. This mini-track aims at providing a forum for research on methods for analyzing and intervening into collaborative networks that consider the tremendous size, geographical dispersion, socio-technical intertwining as well as the limited possibilities to influence these networks. We encourage conceptual, theoretical, methodological as well as empirical contributions towards understanding and managing business processes and IS in collaborative networks. /Managing End-User IS Innovation in Complex Organizational Networks and Ecosystems/ Elizabeth A. Regan <mailto:earegan@mailbox.sc.edu> The integration of information and communication technologies across all industry sectors continues to challenge the ability of organizations to engage employees in innovations essential to realizing business value. Although computing devices have become ubiquitous in the workplace, IT applications seldom are used to their potential. This mini-track seeks papers related to implementing and managing end-user IS innovation in complex organizational networks and ecosystems. Research and practice related to all aspects of workplace transformation are invited. We are particularly interested in field research that addresses how organizations integrate information technology with business process to transform ways in which they deliver products and services and the impact of these innovations on the way people work and on customer satisfaction. /Organizational Learning through Process Modelling/ Lars-Olof Johansson, Jens Pöppelbuß <mailto:jepo@is.uni-bremen.de> For understanding and improving work practices, organizations frequently rely on process models. Process discovery activities (i.e., activities aiming at exploring how work is performed), for instance, help to understand the operation of business processes so that they can be represented in meaningful models which, in turn, can form the basis for employee training. Process-oriented methods (e.g., TQM, Lean Management, or Six Sigma) are widely adopted to improve the operations of organizations. More generally, business process orientation (BPO) is considered to help organizations to dissolve functional, in-house boundaries (e.g., between the IT department and other departments) as well as the boundaries to customers and suppliers. In this context, process models can serve as boundary objects between different intra- and inter-organizational communities of practice that facilitate organizational learning. However, many organizations also face problems with their process documentations. The ways people actually work often differ from the ways the organization has defined that work, leading to a model-reality divide. People may also be reluctant to implement and perform according to process designs that result from process improvement or reengineering projects. New methods and tools can help organizations with the management of process-related knowledge and learning. Increasing involvement of employees and improved analytical approaches that disclose how processes are really performed can lead to more sustainable business processes, i.e., business process that will be accepted within the organization. Current web-based technologies, for instance, yield the potential to increase the involvement of employees in process modelling and process improvement activities. Making the documentation and analysis of business processes a more participatory and social endeavor appears promising to reduce organizational inertia. Improved analysis functionality like process mining helps to discover and analyze processes based on real event logs recorded by information systems, also leveraging organizational learning. This mini-track intends to serve as a platform for research on the intersections between organizational learning, knowledge management, and process modelling/visualization. We invite contributions from disciplines including information systems, information management, organization, science, computer science and management science. Boundary-spanning research that connects business process modelling and organizational learning with other than the named disciplines is also welcome. We encourage papers applying a wide variety of methodologies, including quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science. *Important Dates* The AMCIS 2014 submissions website is open from *January 5, 2014* *until March 1, 2014*: ScholarOne's ManuscriptCentral <http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2014> Authors will be notified as to whether their submission was accepted, conditionally accepted, or rejected by *Friday, April 4, 2014*.
