In making business practices more sustainable, information system (IS) enhanced solutions, typically referred to Green IS, are expected to play an essential role (Watson et al. 2011). The effects of Green IS can be (1) direct, e.g. due to more efficient usage of IS/IT-resources (2) indirect, e.g., due to more sustainable business processes, or (3) systemic, for instance, causing behavioral changes of employees. While many studies focus on single organizations, to date only little research has been conducted regarding the adoption, usage, and design of Green IS in inter-organizational networks. Supporting sustainable business practices within and across organizations requires a research agenda that investigates topics such as inter-organizational sustainability governance, sustainable supply chain management, product life cycle accounting, recycling, carbon management accounting, or energetic and non-energetic resource consumption across value chains. The IS community is thus challenged to contribute to our understanding of how IS can foster sustainability in complex inter-organizational networks while simultaneously considering economic imperatives. We invite contributions that explore the range of technical, organizational, economic, and social perspectives on Green IS for sustainability in inter-organizational networks from diverse perspectives which include -- but are not limited to -- the field of business information systems, management, machine learning, operations research, and computer science as well as contributions from practitioners which provide business experiences. Topics: Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Adoption and usage of Green IS in corporate and inter-organizational networks * IS for inter-organizational sustainability governance * Green IS and their integration in corporate enterprise information systems * IS for green supply chain management * Resource efficiency in supply chains (e.g., smart logistics) * Adoption and usage of environmental management information systems in corporate and inter-organizational networks * IS for environmental data collection * IS for sustainability reporting * Product lifecycle management and analysis in inter-organizational networks (e.g., reuse,recycling, remanufacturing,energetic and non-energetic consumption of resources) * Product carbon footprints in inter-organizational networks * IS for carbon management accounting in inter-organizational networks * Use, effect, and design of technologies such as cloud computing and virtualization that improve the greening of organizations * Understanding Green IT practices and its strategic benefits for organizations * Adoption and effects of sustainable business practices * Drivers for greening in organizations * Measuring sustainability in management accounting and process performance measurement *Mini-Track Chairs* Matthias Schumann Chair of Application Systems and E-Business University of Göttingen Mschuma1(a)uni-goettingen.de <mailto:Mschuma1@uni-goettingen.de> Johann Kranz Chair of Management Information Systems and Methods Georg-August-University Goettingen jkranz(a)uni-goettingen.de <mailto:jkranz@uni-goettingen.de> Stefan Seidel Institute of Information Systems University of Liechtenstein stefan.seidel(a)uni.li <mailto:stefan.seidel@uni.li> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by *MailMarshal * ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fwd: [AISWorld] CfP AMCIS 2013: Understanding and Managing IS Innovation in Collaborative Networks
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP AMCIS 2013: Understanding and Managing IS Innovation in Collaborative Networks Datum: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:27:08 +0100 Von: Joao Porto <jporto(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 19th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2013) Chicago, Illinois, USA August 15-17, 2013 http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/ MINITRACK: Understanding and Managing IS Innovation in Collaborative Networks TRACK: End-User Information Systems, Innovation, and Organizational Change (SIGOSRA) Today’s organizations are highly interconnected in manifold kinds of collaborative networks, such as virtual organizations, enterprise alliances, business ecosystems, supply chains, ad-hoc networks (e.g. in disaster scenarios). Furthermore, the widespread use of mobile devices and social media by end-users are extending the reach of collaborative networks across the usual limits of organizations. Traditional approaches for IS/IT innovation management and organizational change can hardly be applied in this context, since they are generally focused on a single organization with well-defined borders. The design, management and deployment of IS innovations within and for such collaborative networks brings about important challenges for IS research. These challenges include adapting existing IS frameworks, methodologies and approaches to deal with the socio-technical complexity of collaborative networks. Socio-technical complexity arises in these networks not only from integrating a diversity of organizations and their corresponding information and technology infrastructures, but also from their interaction with people outside the organization boundaries and with society (e. g. by mobile devices and social media). 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 IS innovations in collaborative networks. TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO: • Understanding and managing IS innovation in different types of collaborative networks (business ecosystems, virtual organizations, enterprise alliances, etc.) • Theoretical approaches for unraveling socio-technical complexity in collaborative networks • Suitability of traditional IS management methods and tools (e.g. Business Process Management, IT Governance, Enterprise Architecture) for collaborative networks • Design and cultivation approaches for IS innovation and organizational change in collaborative networks • IS innovation management in ad-hoc collaborative networks (e.g. in disaster management) • Inter-organizational information infrastructures for collaborative networks • Geospatial approaches for dealing with collaborative networks • IS interoperability and integration issues in collaborative networks • Collaborative and open IS/IT innovation in systems of IS/IT innovation • IS/IT innovation in ultra large-scale collaborative networks • Success and failure of IS innovations in collaborative networks • End-User integration in inter-organizational innovation processes (e. g. by end-user mobile applications or social media) • Methodologies for analyzing and intervening in complex collaborative networks • Teaching cases for IS innovation in collaborative networks IMPORTANT DATES: January 4, 2013 Manuscript Central will start accepting paper submissions February 22, 2013 Deadline for paper submissions April 22, 2013 Authors will be notified of acceptances on or about this date May 9, 2013 For accepted papers, camera-ready copy due SUBMISSION: To submit a paper, please follow the directions below. - Please use the AMCIS2013 Paper Template - Submit your paper to http://aisel.aisnet.org/amcis2013/ .

This year CAF is organized in cooperation with the European funded project ALICE (Adaptive Learning via Intuitive/Interactive, Collaborative and Emotional System), http://www.aliceproject.eu. The /International Conference on Interactive Computer aided Learning (ICL)/ is an interdisciplinary conference which aims to focus on the exchange of relevant trends and research results as well as the presentation of practical experiences in interactive computer aided learning. *Background* Our modern life at the beginning of the 21st century is strongly influenced by effects such as rapidly changing and developing information, technology-enhanced communication and information access, and new forms of production and services in a globalized world. This situation requires individuals to adapt their skills and competencies. Consequently, educational objectives and societal expectations have changed significantly in recent years. Modern learning settings must consider learning community aspects as well as learner-centered, knowledge-centered and assessment-centered aspects. By focusing on the assessment, this concept can be further distinguished in (1) summative assessment, performed at the end of a set of learning activities, and (2) formative assessment, which is intended to give continuous feedback to students and teachers. The latter mentioned formative assessment gives information about the current state of knowledge and/or the degree of knowledge acquisition within learning activities. Assessment is an important component of modern teaching and learning processes in face-to-face courses as well as in e-learning environments; it provides valuable feedback to teachers and students which allows the revision and adaptation of teaching and learning activities. Furthermore, assessment activities and results can also be utilized for building and strengthening metacognitive skills. However, continuous and frequent assessment in learning processes may cause excessive efforts and costs. Therefore, computer-assisted assessment systems (CaAS) and computer-based assessment systems (CbAS) have become of increasing interest over the years. Assessment systems may support parts or the entire chain of the assessment lifecycle. This lifecycle includes authoring and management of assessment items, compilation of specific tests, performance of assessments, and compilation and management results. Additionally, emerging interest in the sharing and re-use of assessment items or compiled assessment tests and the exchangeability of assessment outcomes has resulted in standardization efforts, such as the IMS Question & Test Interoperability Specification (IMS QTI). The special track will bring together international researchers as well as practitioners from different organisations who will have plenty of time for networking and real-world knowledge sharing. CAF is interested in novel scientific research, findings from experiments and results from real-life applications. We invite submissions that deal with issues including, but not limited to: * Aspects of formative and summative assessment * History and challenges of e-assessment * Computer-supported assessment rubric * Computer-based knowledge & skill assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported peer assessment for individuals and groups * Computer-supported self-assessment and group assessment * Computer-based student and teacher feedback about knowledge state and acquisition * Computer-based assessment in adaptive e-learning * Learning analytics * Web 2.0 and assessment & feedback for individual and group learning * Assessment in Immersive Educational Environments * Automated essay grading * Natural short answer assessment * Assessment and feedback in computer-based simulations * Assessment and feedback in game-based learning settings * Test & training data and evaluation procedures * Reuse, Interoperability and Standardization * Security and Privacy *Important Dates* * 22 April 2013: Submission of full papers (8 pages), short papers (4 pages) * 27 May 2013: Notification of acceptance * 30 Aug. 2013: Camera ready version (8 pages) * 25.-27.

Fwd: Call for Papers - Virtual Goolds & ODRL 2013
by Gustaf Neumann 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Papers - Virtual Goolds & ODRL 2013 Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:21:39 +0100 From: Susanne Guth-Orlowski <Susanne.Guth(a)gmx.net> To: CFP-ODRL%Susanne.Guth(a)gmx.net Dear all, at link below, please find the call for paper for this year's Virtual Goods & ODRL Work Shop. http://www.virtualgoods.org/2013/cfp.html We have broadened the scope of the workshop and I think new services, such as UltraViolet and Amazon's new platform for "used" digital content, prove that our topics are hotter than ever. We are looking forward to your submissions! Susanne ################################################# The workshop invites papers to two approaches to a trusted and adaptive Web: top-down by policy-guided behavior and bottom-up by self-organized movements. Policies help to protect and guide business and private activities in mobile systems and social networks. We invite papers about the representation of rules, rights and duties, their visualization, semantic representation, or enforcement in all critical areas of the real life in the connected world. Self-organized movements have come up in recent time by user-driven content as well as by grassroots activities like Liquid Democracy, WikiLeaks and coordinated actions through social networks. We invite papers on p2p and m2m architectures, as well as on self-adaptive communities and their methodology, their experiences and their impact. On the one hand the workshop addresses legal, ethical, and secure business and private activities in mobile systems and social networks. Rights include ownership rights and copyright (as usual with virtual goods). Security includes privacy, fairness, confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The specific policy view addresses policies as a way to describe behavior. It also addresses the development of languages to specify policies as artifacts (ODRL et al.). It addresses the challenges to present policies, to modify policies, to use policies for automated behavior, and to trust policies. On the other hand, the workshop addresses new ways of cultural cooperation. The modern Web allows for safe bottom-up activities as a way to self-organization and self-adaptation. The balance of a self-organized bottom-up way of cooperation with a legal, ethical and safe culture is a specific challenge of the workshop. Moreover, we invite especially for a debate about a top-down approach by policies versus a bottom-up approach by self-organization. 2. WORKSHOP TOPICS Policies: - Descriptions of aims and strategies - Specification of rules - Semantic policies for virtual goods and services - Policies for licensing, flow control, privacy, fairness (and, possibly, more) - Presentation, automation, visualization, protection, and evaluation of policies Self-organized movements: - M2M, P2P - Self-adaptive consensus making - Liquid Democracy, eVoting - Methodology, experiences and impact of self-organization And, of course, as usual for E-Content and Virtual Goods: - Digital goods, digital services - User-driven content, service-driven content - Societal and economic conditions and impact - Security and privacy in the context of content processing - Use of Linked Data and semantic descriptions for virtual products and services - Legal issues in semantically describing and offering virtual products and services Impact factors to be investigated: - Technical solutions: mechanisms, artifacts and their application - Economic impact: cost, value, utility - Philosophical aspects: culture, moral, dignity - Legal aspects: compliance, adaptation, interworking of different legal spaces Disciplines invited for contributions: - Computer science - Economy - Social sciences - Jurisdiction - Philosophy - Communication theory 3. PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES We expect full papers by April 22, 2013 Decision about acceptance by May 20 Camera ready papers due July 1 Authors are invited to submit original unpublished research as full papers (max. 15 pages). All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee for originality, significance, clarity and quality Authors should use the LNI format. For the camera-ready papers follow the author´s guidelines (www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/guidelines.pdf) and use the Word template (www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/LNI-word-vorlage-en.doc) or the LaTeX template (www.gi.de/fileadmin/redaktion/Autorenrichtlinien/LNI-LaTeX-Vorlage.zip). If you are used to the Springer LNCS format, you will find it easy to adapt Paper submission will be through the ConfTool of the mother conference “Informatik 2013” (https://www.conftool.pro/informatik2013/imprint.php), please register there, log in and upload your paper through “Your Submissions” and “Virtual Goods+ODRL” 4. PUBLICATION OF THE WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop with ISBN number under the label of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI). Printed book versions are available. In addition, the Virtual Goods workshop proceedings will be available online on the Virtual Goods Website http://www.virtualgoods.org/2013, as usual since our first workshop 2003 -- Susanne Guth-Orlowski ODRL Initiative
