Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 14:10:25 -0500 (EST) From: MurphJen(a)aol.com To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 19th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2013) Minitrack: "Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements" (http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62…) August 15-17, 2013, Chicago, Illinois, USA (http://amcis2013.aisnet.org <http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/>) ************************************************ *************************** Deadline for paper submissions: February 22, 2013 ============================================ More information: http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=84… Minitrack Description ================== Research into knowledge management (KM), organizational memories, and organizational learning has been affected by investigations such as implementation aspects, system developments, or knowledge flows during a number of years. Therefore, a high maturity level of KM research has been achieved. However, organizational KM initiatives are more and more faced with budget cuts and justification demands due to intense competition in todayâ??s business environments. The influences of the rapid pace of globalization and of the ongoing liberalization of national and international markets lead to the emergence of increased pressure on existing companies. Project managers of KM initiatives like Chief Knowledge Officers need to justify their budgets and thus are in need of qualitative and quantitative evidence of the initiativesâ?? success. In addition, ROI calculations and traditional accounting approaches do not tell an adequate story when proposing knowledge-based initiatives. This minitrack explores research into strategies, methodologies, and stories that relate to measure this success. In addition, this minitrack will be used to explore the bodies of performance measurements that define the current state of research in measuring KM, organizational memory, and organizational learning success. Eventually, another purpose of this minitrack is to present research on how to value knowledge-based initiatives. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: ======================================= * Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems * Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance * Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success * Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics * Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators * Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives * Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements * Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities * Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge management/organizational memory systems * Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge management performance * Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success * Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their theoretical basis to facilitate the value of knowledge-based initiatives * Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing knowledge-based initiatives Minitrack Co-Chairs ================= Murray E.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: CfP: 7th IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO2013) Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:11:14 +0100 (CET) From: SASO 2013 Publicity Chair <SASO-publicity(a)iiia.csic.es> To: gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at CC: SASO 2013 Publicity Chair <SASO-publicity(a)iiia.csic.es> ************************************************************************************************************ CALL FOR PAPERS Seventh IEEE International Conference on Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO 2013) Philadelphia (PA), USA; 9-13 September 2013 --- https://www.cs.drexel.edu/saso2013/ ************************************************************************************************************ Please find below other calls currently open: CALL FOR POSTERS: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/saso2013/callforposters.php CALL FOR WORKSHOPS: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/saso2013/callforworkshops.php CALL FOR TUTORIALS: https://www.cs.drexel.edu/saso2013/callfortutorials.php ------------------- Aims and Scope ------------------- The aim of the Self-Adaptive and Self-Organizing systems conference series (SASO) is to provide a forum for the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. The complexity of current and emerging networks, software and services, especially in dealing with dynamics in the environment and problem domain, has led the software engineering, distributed systems and management communities to look for inspiration in diverse fields (e.g., complex systems, control theory, artificial intelligence, sociology, and biology) to find new ways of designing and managing such computing systems. In this endeavour, self-organization and self-adaptation have emerged as two promising interrelated approaches. Many significant research problems exist related to self-adaptive or self-organizing systems. A challenge in self-adaptation is often to identify how to change specific behavior to achieve the desired improvement. Another major challenge is to predict and control the global system behavior resulting from self-organization. Yet more challenges arise from the confluence of self-adaptation with self-organization. For instance, how do self-* mechanisms that work well independently operate in combination? How are meso-level structures formed which leverage micro-level behavior to achieve desirable macro-level outcomes, and avoid undesirable ones? The seventh edition of the SASO conference embraces the inter-disciplinarity and the scientific, empirical and application dimensions of self-* systems; it thus aims to attract participants with different backgrounds, to foster cross-pollination between research fields, and to expose and discuss innovative theories, frameworks, methodologies, tools, and applications. SASO welcomes novel results on both self-adaptive and self-organizing systems research. It seeks to emphasize the interconnection of basic research between and within fields, and the increasing protrusion of self-* systems into the human sphere, evaluating their impact on society, environmental sustainability, commerce, living/working spaces and critical infrastructure. Therefore contributions are welcomed that: apply self-* principles to solve real-world problems; unpick the entanglement of self-* systems and human users in socio-technical systems; present advances in self-* mechanisms or analyses with potentially broad application; investigate the combination and interconnection of self-* mechanisms; and/or identify and evaluate new self-* principles or mechanisms from the study of natural or engineered systems. Contributions must present novel theoretical or experimental results, or practical approaches and experiences in building or deploying real-world systems, applications, tools, frameworks, etc. Contributions contrasting different approaches for engineering a given family of systems, or demonstrating the applicability of a certain approach for different systems, are equally encouraged. Where relevant and appropriate, accepted papers will also be encouraged to submit accompanying papers for the Demo or Poster Sessions. -------------------- Important Dates -------------------- Abstract submission: May 3, 2013 Paper submission: May 10, 2013 Notification: June 21, 2013 Camera ready copy due: July 19, 2013 Early registration: August 21, 2013 Conference: September 9-13, 2013 ----------------------- Topics of Interest ----------------------- The topics of interest to SASO include, but are not limited to: - Self-* systems theory: theoretical frameworks and models; biologically- and socially-inspired paradigms; inter-operation of self-* mechanisms; - Self-* systems engineering: hardware, software and middleware development frameworks and methods, platforms and toolkits; self-* materials; - Self-* system properties: robustness, resilience and stability; emergence; computational awareness and self-awareness; reflection; - Self-* cyber-physical and socio-technical systems: human factors and visualization; self-* social computers; crowdsourcing and collective awareness; - Applications and experiences of self-* systems: cyber security, transportation, computational sustainability, big data and creative commons, power systems. ---------------------------- Submission Instructions ---------------------------- All submissions should be 10 pages and formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Press proceedings style guide and submitted electronically in PDF format. Please register as authors and submit your papers using the SASO 2013 conference management system. The proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press, and made available as a part of the IEEE digital library. Note that a separate call for poster submissions has also been issued. -------------------- Review Criteria -------------------- Papers should present novel ideas in the cross-disciplinary research context described in this call, clearly motivated by problems from current practice or applied research. We expect both theoretical and empirical contributions to be clearly stated, substantiated by formal analysis, animation or simulation, experimental evaluations, comparative studies, and so on. Appropriate reference must be made to related work. Because SASO is a cross-disciplinary conference, papers must be intelligible and relevant to researchers who are not members of the same specialized sub-field. Authors are also encouraged to submit papers describing applications. Application papers are expected to provide an indication of the real world relevance of the problem that is solved, including a description of the deployment domain, and some form of evaluation of performance, usability, or comparison to alternative approaches. Experience papers are also welcome but they must clearly state the insight into any aspect of design, implementation or management of self-* systems which is of benefit to practitioners and the SASO community. ------------------- Program Chairs ------------------- Tom Holvoet KU Leuven, Belgium Jeremy Pitt Imperial College London, England Ichiro Satoh National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan

19 Feb '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2013 CfP: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:22:48 +0100 From: Carsten.Brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2013 CFP Mini-Track: Enterprise System Adoption and Business Models Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 15-17, 2013 Deadline for submissions: 22nd of February 2013 Enterprise systems (ES) are extremely complex software packages designed for integrating data flow across an entire company, emerged from earlier MRP, MRP II and ERP systems. Over time, ES have expanded to include more and more areas of an organizationâ??s operations, and have extended organizational boundaries and support interorganizational activities. Frequently, the adoption of an ES is an enormous challenge for an organization, due to system complexity, organizational context and the people involved in the implementation project. Usually, ES adoption is a long and multi-stage process during which various problems and complications may occur. Moreover, ES adoption projects typically involve a large number of stakeholders representing different departments, various organizational hierarchies, and often external companies operating in various industries. These stakeholders may have conflicting interests, and their own definitions of project success. Providers of enterprise systems have traditionally relied on strong revenues from maintenance fees, in addition to license revenue. Nowadays, shorter product lifecycles, rising consulting revenues, Open Source Software and SaaS are impacting their business models. ES providers have the challenge of delivering systems which are highly customizable software products, able to fit the needs of a variety of adopters. This might be important since, as prior research suggests, the issue of alignment between ES and adopting organizations is one of the determinants of successful enterprise system implementation. This mini-track invites papers that examine various aspects related to the determinants of ES success and business models. Both empirical and theoretical papers are invited. The general research questions addressed in this mini-track can be formulated as follows: What are the mechanisms determining successful ES adoption? What are the underlying business models of companies delivering successfully adaptable ES? What kind of business models exist? Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Motivation and justification for ES adoption, * Alignment between ES and adopting organization, * Barriers and impediments to ES adoption success, * Risk factors in ES adoption, * Critical failure factors for ES adoption, * Critical success factors for ES adoption, * Understanding of ES adoption success, * Multi-cultural and multi-national issues, * Multiple stakeholder perspective in ES adoption and use, * Business model frameworks for ES providers, * Impact of new trends within the software industry on business models, * Business model innovation for standard software companies, * Implications of shorter product lifecycles on business models, * SaaS related business models, * Open source software related business models. # * Important dates:* February 22, 2013 Deadline for paper submissions April 22, 2013 Notification of acceptance May 9, 2013 Final copy due * Instructions for authors:* The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references. All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2013 website at _http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/_. _ Mini-Track Co-Chairs_ Carsten Brockmann, University of Potsdam, cbrockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de Piotr Soja, Cracow University of Economics, eisoja(a)cyf-kr.edu.pl JP Allen, University of San Francisco, JP Allen, jpallen(a)usfca.edu Katja Andresen, Beuth University of Applied Sciences, andresen(a)beuth-hochschule.de

AMCIS 2013* Chicago, IL August 15 â?? 17, 2013 *Track: IS in Education, IS Curriculum, Education and Teaching Cases (SIGED) Mini-Track: Roles of Information Technologies in Online Classroom Modalities* *Mini-Track Chairs:* Jongbok Byun, Ashford University, jongbok.byun(a)ashford.edu <mailto:jongbok.byun@ashford.edu> Jorge Cardenas, Ashford University, jorge.cardenas(a)ashford.edu <mailto:jorge.cardenas@ashford.edu> *Mini-Track Description:* Online courses are popular in the United States. Many prestigious schools including MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and UC Berkeley are providing their courses to students and the public in online formats. In particular, the Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platform such as Coursera and edX are used to deliver online courses. Although these courses often do not provide any college level credits or degrees, scores of people have already joined the courses and finished them. Compared to these big schools, many small to medium sized colleges including community colleges are struggling to incorporate online modalities into their curricula. Often, they do not have enough resources to develop and deliver the online courses. In addition, delivered online courses are not as promising as expected, not just because the faculty and budget are lacking, but because they have different modalities from traditional classroom based courses. One clear difference between online and traditional courses is the level of interpersonal connection. Students and teachers are quite disconnected in online classrooms. Recorded lectures, discussion boards, and linked study resources are common features of many online course modalities, but they culminate in asynchronous course management systems. Students and teachers must communicate at different times and from different locations. Information technology enabled students to participate in online courses but the current information technology simply does not live up to traditional classroom based educational models. This mini-track provides an opportunity for information scientists, Â academic researchers, instructors, system developers, and content providers submit papers sharing their academic ideas and practices. *Suggested Topics* In this mini-track, we are looking for academic discussion and case studies including but not limited to the following topics: â?? Â Â Â Online Education Platforms â?? Â Â Â Online Presence and Course Outcomes â?? Â Â Â Online Learning Theories â?? Â Â Â Historical Views of Online Education â??

Fwd: [AISWorld] Deadline: 22-Feb: CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Teaching Analytics (IWTA-2013) at LAK2013
by Gustaf Neumann 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Deadline: 22-Feb: CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Teaching Analytics (IWTA-2013) at LAK2013 Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 05:20:33 +0100 From: Ravi Vatrapu <rv.itm(a)cbs.dk> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 2nd International Workshop on Teaching Analytics (IWTA-2013) at LAK2013 -- Third Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge <http://lakconference2013.wordpress.com/> 9 April 2013, Leuven, Belgium *Description* The core problem that this workshop series on "Teaching Analytics" addresses is that in comparison with most other professionals that take rapid decisions in a dynamically changing environment, presently teachers often do not get the information they need for decision making in a timely fashion and in a meaningful and actionable format. Teaching Analytics is conceived as a subfield of learning analytics that focuses on the design, development, evaluation, and education of visual analytics methods and tools for teachers in primary, secondary, and tertiary educational settings. Teachers' professional practices with visual analytics methods and tools are a central concern of teaching analytics. Teaching analytics methods and tools aim to develop innovative solutions to assist and augment teachers' dynamic diagnostic decision-making in the classrooms of the 21^st century. An example usage scenario (but not limited to) is the use of teaching analytics methods and tools in high-performance classrooms that are characterized by 1:1 computing, high cognitive density, and big data. Building on the NEXT-TELL project and the first international workshop on teaching analytics (TAPTA-2012) held at EC-TEL 2012 (http://www.next-tell.eu/tapta/), the current workshop (IWTA-2013) explores methods and tools to support teachers' professional vision in classrooms. This workshop's ambitious objective is to jumpstart a new learning analytics research stream on teaching analytics by bringing together learning scientists in different sub-fields such as CSCL, ITS, EDM, researchers in Visual Analytics, and data scientists working with "Big Data" in public institutions and private enterprises. In addition to researchers, we are also targeting teachers at primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of education to be involved as co-designers and discussants. As mentioned earlier, the first workshop on teaching analytics (TAPTA-2012, http://www.next-tell.eu/tapta/), was held at EC-TEL 2012. The workshop participants included researchers as well as teachers. Topics presented and discussed at the first workshop included semiology for teaching analytics, multi-domain perspective on data collection and analysis, ontological engineering and scripting applications, open learner models, browser-based learning management system extensions, and investigation tools for teacher training. Teachers from the Strömstad Gymnasium, Sweden were invited to present their observations and reflections on the pedagogical practices in their 1:1 laptop school. Workshop proceedings are available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-894/. The key lessons learnt from the first workshop were the need to further focus the workshop on teachers' current pedagogical and analytical practices, expand the scope to include real-time teaching scenarios in the actual classroom, and explicitly emphasize the use of visual analytics for technology enhanced formative assessment. Based on the above, we invite researchers and teachers to participate in the IWTA-2013. Workshop submissions can be in the form of position papers, tool demonstrations, conceptual sketches, and/or thought experiments.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CfP: Workshop on Governance Risk and Compliance in IS (GRCIS'13) at CAiSE'13 Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2013 06:36:10 +0000 From: Marta Indulska <m.indulska(a)business.uq.edu.au> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 5th INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON GOVERNANCE, RISK AND COMPLIANCE - APPLICATIONS IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GRCIS'13) http://www.grcis.com 18 June, 2013 Valencia, Spain In conjunction with CAiSE'13 (http://www.pros.upv.es/index.php/en/home-caise2013) IMPORTANT DATES Paper Submission: March 11, 2013 Notification of acceptance: April 29, 2013 Camera ready: May 13, 2013 Workshop: June 18, 2013 BACKGROUND The importance of governance and associated issues of compliance and risk management is well recognized in enterprise systems. This importance has dramatically increased over the last decade as a result of numerous events that led to some of the largest scandals in corporate history. The governance, risk and compliance market is estimated to be worth over $32 billion, with a typical Standard & Poor’s 500 company spending an average of $4 million on compliance annually. Tool support for governance, risk and compliance related initiatives is provided by over 100 software vendors, however, while the tools have on average tripled in price since 2003, they are often insufficient to meet organizational needs. At the same time, there is an increasing complexity in the facilitation of compliant business processes, which stems from an increasing number of regulations, frequent and dynamic changes, as well as shared processes and services executing in highly decentralized environments. In the age of outsourcing, dynamic business networks, and global commerce, it is inevitable that organizations will need to develop methods, tools and techniques to design, engineer, and assess processes and services that meet regulatory, standard and contractual obligations. Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) can be expected to play a significant part in several applications. This area is emerging as a critical and challenging area of research and innovation. It introduces, among others, the need for new or adapted modeling approaches for compliance requirements, extension of process and service modeling and execution frameworks for compliance and risk management, and detection of policy violations. In addition, it introduces questions relating specifically to the use of technology to support compliance management. For example, how auditors and regulators can put into use techniques like continuous monitoring and data analysis to assess whether an organization complies with relevant rules and regulations, or how technology can be used to support assessment of design and operational effectiveness of controls. This workshop will provide, for the fifth year running, a forum for researchers from diverse areas and make a consolidated contribution in the form of new and extended methods that address the challenges of governance, risk and compliance in information systems. Industry papers are also encouraged at this workshop. TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics covered by the workshop will include at least the following: *Policy definition and enforcement *Smart auditing & technologies for compliance assurance *Compliant service and process design *Compliance and Risk Aware Business Process Management *Non-compliant process identification *ICT-enabled risk management *Visualization and simulation of risk in process models *Governance processes *Integration and effectuation of multiple regulatory standards *Compliance, risk and tolerance metrics *Organizational structures to support compliance *Requirements engineering for compliant information systems *Implementations of compliance technologies *Separation of duties/Separation of rights *Decision tracing *Data provenance and lineage *Work tracking *Violation detection *Applications of RuleML, SBVR, and other rule modeling approaches *Risk management and governance in software projects *Conformance to process reference models *Applications, case studies and use cases Submitted papers will be evaluated on the basis of significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. Accepted papers will be published in online CEUR proceedings. Papers should clearly establish the research contribution, and relation to previous research. Position, survey and industry papers are also welcome. SUBMISSION DETAILS 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 LNCS format and should not exceed 14 pages, including all text, figures, references and appendices.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2013 Call for Papers Mini-Track: Current Trends in ERP Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 19:30:32 +0100 From: Carsten.Brockmann(a)wi.uni-potsdam.de To: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org AMCIS 2013 CFP Mini-Track: Current Trends in ERP Chicago, Illinois, USA, August 15-17, 2013 Deadline for submissions: 22nd of February 2013 Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have evolved from large monolithic systems installed on premise to more and more fragmented systems, distributing just about any aspect of a system: functions, processes, data, hardware and infrastructure. With the emergence of service-oriented architectures (SOA), ERP functionality has become available as software-as-a-service (SaaS), provided on-demand to clients via the Internet. This change has gone hand in hand with the incorporation of more and more business functionality. In addition, ERP-related solutions such as SCM, SRM and CRM have been integrated, embedded or closely coupled with the ERP on-demand services. Mobile access to ERP via smartphones and tablets has created new challenges. Technologies such as (RFID) have opened up new opportunities for an organization to act and react in real-time. For the new technologies to be successfully implemented, security issues need to be resolved, and a satisfactory level of trust in the technologies has to be created. The rationale of this minitrack is exploration of new technologies that can further enhance enterprise resource planning. Papers presenting the development of prototypes as a proof of concept are welcome. Technology-oriented papers should give consideration to the business value of the proposed approaches or solutions. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Service-oriented architecture (SOA) and other architectures for ERP * ERP-as-a-service, i.e. software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for ERP * Impact of virtualization and infrastructure-as-a-service on ERP * ERP for small and medium-size enterprises * Integrating ERP and Office solutions * Integrating RFID solutions with ERP * Impact of the "Internet of things" on future ERP systems * Integrating legacy ERP systems with state-of-the-art components * Mobile ERP and related areas (e.g. mobile SCM, mobile CRM, mobile SRM) * Security issues and trust in new technologies for enterprise resource planning * Emerging technologies and tools that enhance Enterprise Systems * Integration of collaboration and social networking technologies with Enterprise Systems * Social) Business process modelling tools that help in modelling Enterprise Systems processes * Solutions that leverage Enterprise Systems and real-time data analytics * Technology challenges in implementing and managing Enterprise Systems solutions that leverage the latest technology trends * Important dates:* February 22, 2013 Deadline for paper submissions April 22, 2013 Notification of acceptance May 9, 2013 Final copy due * Instructions for authors:* The entire paper should be no more than 5,000 words, including all materials and sections such as figures, tables, and references.
