Gesundheitsversorgung muss kooperativ und sektorenübergreifend stattfinden. Dazu müssen außer den technischen Innovationen auch geeignete Prozessabläufe entwickelt werden, welche neben der Effizienz und Effektivität ausdrücklich die Belange der Akteure sowie die Maßgaben der evidenzbasierten Medizin berücksichtigen. Dabei sind stets die Besonderheiten des Gesundheitswesens zu berücksichtigen: das Spannungsfeld zwischen Ökonomie, Technologie, Politik sowie Diagnostik, Therapie, Pflege und Forschung. Die Herausforderung besteht nicht nur darin einzelne Insellösungen zu integrieren, sondern unternehmensweite und -übergreifende Prozessmodelle und Architekturkonzepte zu entwerfen, welche die Interoperabilität der Systeme gewährleisten und das Management der Prozesse verbessern. Hierzu sind neben der adäquaten konzeptionellen Modellierung auch geeignete Prozess- und Datenstandards erforderlich, um die Übertragbarkeit auf andere Einrichtungen zu ermöglichen. Zudem besteht die Notwendigkeit der konsequenten Integration bereits etablierter und verbreiteter Instrumente wie den Medizinischen Leitlinien, SOP`s oder den klinischen Pfaden in die Klinischen Informationssysteme. Darüber hinaus gilt es auch, die während der medizinischen Versorgung anfallenden Daten für die Prozessoptimierung, aber auch für weitere Zwecke, wie die Qualitätssicherung oder wissenschaftliche Studien, semantisch zu erschließen. Weiterhin versprechen mobile Anwendungen vielfältige Innovationen nicht nur innerhalb einer Einrichtung, sondern insbesondere bei der akteurs- und auch sektorenübergreifenden Vernetzung. Bislang existieren diverse Modellprojekte und Konzepte in den angrenzenden Wissenschaftsdomänen Informatik, Wirtschaftsinformatik und Medizininformatik, deren gemeinsamer Fokus oftmals die Technikunterstützung ist. Ziel des Track-Aufrufes ist es, bestehende divergente Strömungen und Ideen zusammen zu bringen und eine gemeinsame, nachhaltige Denkrichtung in den dargestellten Anwendungsbereichen anzustreben. *** Themenschwerpunkte *** - Übertragbare Modellprojekte im Themenumfeld von eHealth und Evaluation von eHealth-Projekten - Empirische Analysen und konzeptionelle Arbeiten im Themenbereich der vernetzten Gesundheit - Referenzmodellierung und multiperspektivische Modellierung im Gesundheitswesen - Leitlinienmodellierung und Leitlinienmanagement - Computerized Guidelines & Clinical Decision Support Systeme - Prozessmanagement und Prozesscompliance im Gesundheitswesen - Prozessstandards, Datenstandards und Interoperabilität im Gesundheitswesen - Uncertainty Management und Datenqualität - IT-Sicherheit und Datenschutz - Ressourcenmanagement - Risikomanagement und Critical-Incident-Management im Gesundheitswesen - Data Warehousing und Business Intelligence - IKT als Enabler innovativer integrierter Versorgungsformen; Big Data; Cloud Computing - Mobile Anwendungen am Point-of-Care und in der integrierten Versorgung *** Wichtige Termine *** Einreichungsschluss für Beiträge: 15.09.2013 Benachrichtigung der Autoren: 15.11.2013 Einreichungsschluss der finalen Beiträge: 15.12.2013 *** Einreichungsprozess **** Beiträge können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] 2nd CFP: "People Centered Smart Territories: Design, Learning and Analytics" Datum: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 10:54:14 +0200 Von: Carlo Giovannella <mifav(a)roma2.infn.it> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de apologize for possible cross-posting ========================================================= Workshop on "People Centered Smart Territories: Design, Learning and Analytics" Bologna (Italy) - 16 October 2013 co-located at Smart City Exhibition 2013 http://www.smartcityexhibition.it/en ========================================================= Co-promoted by: • Dept. of Educational Science and Technologies, ISIM_Lab - Tor Vergata University of Rome • Forum PA • International Observatory on Smart City Learning -------------------------------------------------------- Organized by: • Gianni Dominici (Forum PA) • Carlo Giovannella (Univ. of Rome Tor Vergata & Creative Industrie Consorzio Roma Ricerche) --------------- IMPORTANT DATES --------------- • September 10 - Deadline for the submission of extended abstract and/or position papers (no extension is expected) • September 20 - Notification of acceptance • September 30 - Camera-ready paper due • October 5 - Registration deadline ------------ INTRODUCTION ------------ The workshop is intended to promote the diffusion of a "People Centered Smart Territories" vision, i.e. a socially-oriented and inclusive bottom-up vision driven by a 'person in place' centered design approach that focus on persons who, as well known, are driven by motivations and expectations, desires, needs and, moreover, have their own styles. It is pretty obvious that the challenge is to support the harmonious and continuous development of all experiential dimensions relevant to individuals, to the community of belonging and to the contexts of reference. Because of this we think that it is important to offer a 'place' where meet, compare and discuss "People Centered" experiences that have been supported by the smartness of the territories. Central to this purpose are: • the dissemination of an adequate design literacy and an open access to strategies and methodologies that may support the development of "People Centered Smart Territories" • the support to the development of learning paths that will prove more effective in engaging and stimulating social innovation and, as well, in keeping the persistence of individuals and communities in the so-called state of "flow", which is essential in order to achieve and maintain the leadership of creativity and innovation • the ability to perform a multidimensional and holistic monitoring of the transformation the territories are undergoing to become smart and, as well, their ability to support the expectations of individuals and communities of reference, within the framework of a sustainable development. All this justifies the three key words contained by the workshop title: Design - Learning - Analytics ------------------ TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ - strategies, approaches and methodologies to design and support the development of "People Centered Smart Territories" - concepts and case studies related to the "People Centered Smart Territories" vision (e.g.: support to small smart communities, social inclusion, learning, etc.) - monitoring, analytics and benchmarking of the dimensions relevant to define the smartness of "People Centered Smart Territories" -------------------------------------- SUBMISSIONS AND PARTICIPANTS SELECTION -------------------------------------- Please submit your extended abstract or position paper (2 pages) using the IxD&A submission system at: http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/idea2010/login.php (send a copy also to the email of the workshop organizers using the contact email address) Contributions should be written accordingly to the IxD&A Journal guidelines for authors http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php?s=101&a=7 Since the duration of the workshop is half day, only a limited number of contributions will be selected for presentation. All contributions will be blindly peer-reviewed by two members of the Program Committee. -------------------------------------- POST-WORKSHOP PROCEEDING PUBLICATION -------------------------------------- An extended version of the selected paper (max 14 pages) will be published in a special issue of the IxD&A Journal (ISSN 1826-9745) - Spring 2014 http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/idea2010/index.php --------- Contacts: --------- info [at] mifav.uniroma2.it -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi

To remain relevant and competitive, it is imperative that organizations cultivate and foster learning capabilities. It has been widely accepted that learning is a subcomponent of knowledge management activities in an organizational context. Numerous studies have been done to examine the relationship between knowledge management (KM) and organizational learning (OL). Yet, limited research has been published to demonstrate how practical design and implementation of a KM system (or an instantiation of it) can impact/influence learning capabilities within organizations. KM in general is defined as a systematic way of creating, storing, sharing and disseminating knowledge to aid various forms of decision making within organizations. A KM system meanwhile is often related to the application of Information Technology to support KM efforts in an organizational context. OL is a sub-domain of organizational theory that examines issues pertaining to the importance of learning and keeping abreast with changes within the organizational landscape. There is significant role and scope for well designed and implemented KM systems to support learning efforts. Given this backdrop, we would like to call for papers that examine anyone or moreof(albeit not restricted to) the following topics, in this special issue: ·KM Systems and its role in organizational learning ·Cases that report on practical instances of KM implementation to aid OL in an institutional context ·Conceptual design of KM Systems that can lead to OL efforts ·Lessons learned from KM implementation in the context of OL ·Action research projects that showcase how a particular KM system/tool was implemented to support OL efforts either in an educational or corporate context ·Theories that examine how KM systems can impact learning efforts ·A discussion on a particular dimension of KM system (e.g. database, web-based systems, ontologies, semantic webs etc.) was applied to foster learning in a given situation. ·Other related topics as approved by the editors of the special issue. *_Important Dates_*_**_ Submission due: 15^th Sep 2013 Notification of acceptance: 15^th Nov 2013 Publication schedule: Dec 2013 ** *_Submission Instructions_*__ Electronic submission by email to Guest Editorsis required(murali.raman(a)mmu.edu.my <mailto:murali.raman@mmu.edu.my> or magiswary.dorasamy(a)mmu.edu.my <mailto:magwang@hku.hk> ).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Third Australasian Symposium on Service Research and Innovation (ASSRI’13) Datum: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:47:15 +0000 Von: Joseph Davis <joseph.davis(a)sydney.edu.au> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Third Australasian Symposium on Service Research and Innovation (ASSRI?13) to be held at the School of Computer Science and Engineering University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia November 27-29, 2013 http://www.servicesciencesociety.org.au/events/third-australasian-symposium… ********************************************************************************* * CALL FOR PAPERS * With the increasingly dominant role that the service sector plays in both developed and emerging economies, the conceptualisation, design, delivery, and evaluation of service systems have attracted significant research attention and policy focus. There is also a growing recognition of the critical role of service innovation in improving productivity levels and quality of life. The transition from the manufacturing and goods-based orientation to more of a service-dominant logic has gathered momentum in recent years. Information and communication technologies (ICT) play a central role in the design and delivery of service systems. Internet and World Wide Web-related developments such as web 2.0, semantic web, cloud infrastructure, and service-oriented computing and web services, social computing, and (internet-based) human computation are just a few of the technological advances that are helping to redefine the landscape of service systems. The third Australasian Symposium on Service Research and Innovation will bring together a cross-disciplinary group of researchers and practitioners who are engaged in research and development in the area of services, broadly defined. It will feature keynote addresses and invited lectures by prominent researchers in the field. There will also be contributed paper sessions to which service and related researchers are invited to submit their recent work. A public sector and industry forum featuring some of the academic researchers and practitioners in industry and government will also be a part of the symposium. The service science initiative (and service science, management and engineering (SSME) discipline for the study, design and implementation of service systems) has been a driver and platform for research, over the past decade, towards the goal of building a science of services. This symposium is expected to provide a forum for analyzing and assessing the progress achieved in pursuit of this goal and to explore the foundations of and emerging directions in service research. The symposium is sponsored by the Service Science Society of Australia. This is the apex national body representing the services research community of Australia. It seeks to promote the understanding and use of service science in government, industry and academia. The Australasian Symposium on Service Research and Innovation series also serves as its annual meeting. * PAPER SUBMISSION, SYMPOSIUM PUBLICATIONS, AND BEST PAPER AWARDS * Paper submissions should be limited to a maximum of 15 pages in the Springer LNBIP format (see link), and will be reviewed by the Program Committee on the basis of overall quality, relevance to service research, originality, significance, and clarity. Please submit papers through EasyChair. The proceedings will be published by Springer under the Business Information Processing (LNBIP) series. Selected papers will be fast-tracked for publication in a services research journal of good standing (in revised and expanded form). Two best paper awards will be presented to the authors of (1) the best research paper and (2) the best student paper. The selection of the best papers will be made by the Program Committee Chairs in consultation with the Program Committee members based on the overall quality and contribution. * TOPICS OF INTEREST (but not limited to) * - Service science - Smart services - Service computing and web services - Service market-places - Human computation - Crowdsourcing - Cloud computing - Service-oriented software engineering - Service system design - Service system engineering - Service technologies - Applications and case studies - Value co-creation in service systems - Service economy - Service marketing and CRM * ORGANIZING COMMITTEE * * Conference Chair: Fethi Rabhi, University of New South Wales (f.rabhi[AT]unsw.edu.au) * Program Chairs: Joseph G.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - Special Issue on Online Social Networks (Journal: Computer Networks) Datum: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 16:48:40 +0200 Von: Mathias Klier <Mathias.Klier(a)wiwi.uni-regensburg.de> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> **************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS â?? Special Issue on Online Social Networks Computer Networks (Impact Factor: 1,231) (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/call-for-papers/special-…) **************************************************** Deadline for Paper Submissions: November 15, 2013 ==================================== Description of the Special Issue ===================== In recent years we observed the rapid development of Online Social Networks that have drastically transformed the way in which people communicate, get connected, and create information. Individuals establish friendships and relationships in these networks, exchange their experiences and opinions, and create groups and communities, all at a speed (and reach) previously unheard of. At the same time, more and more companies present themselves and their products via Online Social Networks such as Facebook or use corresponding internal applications to connect their employees. Thus, Online Social Networking platforms (e.g., Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn) are changing not only our personal but our organizational behavior too, while, at the same time, creating entirely new communities. Particularly the resulting availability of huge amounts of data allows the mining of valuable insights for both research and practice. By revolutionizing communication and collaboration patterns, Online Social Networks promise previously unimagined opportunities but may also bring along several new challenges and risks as well. This special issue aims to contribute to the growing body of research investigating Online Social Networks and its most recent developments, addressing both theoretical and applied perspectives. We seek rigorous and relevant submissions in the context of Online Social Networks providing new insights on both opportunities and challenges in Online Social Networks for individuals (e.g., communication patterns), organizations (e.g., regarding their potential), and society in a broader sense (e.g., information overload, data privacy).

Fwd: [WI] CfP - Special Issue on Big Data (BISE / Wirtschaftsinformatik)

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP - Special Issue on Big Data (BISE / Wirtschaftsinformatik) Datum: Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:06:47 +0200 Von: Christoph Quix <christoph.quix(a)fit.fraunhofer.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Special Issue on Big Data BISE Journal Business & Information Systems Engineering http://www.bise-journal.com/ Since Jim Gray started his huge astronomy project at Microsoft to proclaim the age of “data science” in the late 1990s, this approach has proliferated to many other areas beyond the natural sciences. In Information Systems, the 1990s saw the analysis of historical data collected in data warehouses. Soon after, the quasi real-time analysis of high-frequency trading in finance added the data stream aspect to data mining. Search engines, web commerce, and social media have added text mining, social network analysis, and heterogeneous data analysis to the spectrum. The buzzword "Big Data" nowadays characterizes analytical systems with extreme data Volume, high data Variety, and rapid data generation Velocity. Even though this buzzword is surely approaching its peak in the Gartner lifecycle, there are many arguments why this trend will continue and even accelerate in the coming years. The Internet of Things accelerates data generation by integrating billions of sensors, the media spectrum is broadened by image, audio, and video, and ever faster multicore and parallel computers produce ever more complex simulation results that need to be administered and analyzed. This offers numerous chances for business, public administration, and all kinds of sciences. But intrinsically, it also increases dependency on systems and allows systems to enter more and more deeply into areas of life that until very recently were unquestionably private. Nationally and internationally, very many research endeavours have begun to explore these new chances and challenges. The planned special issue wants to contribute to the scientific debate especially of the role of business information systems in this major societal change. We desire contributions from research and practice e.g. on the following themes: * Strategic role of big data for competitiveness and service quality * Empirical studies of the impact of big data * Legal and regulatory aspects of big data * Privacy-aware data mining * Big data in specific aspects of business such as finance, marketing, logistics, etc. * Big data in public sector services and government planning * Big data und Cyberphysical Systems in business * Data quality and Big Data * Role of novel big data technologies such as stream mining, main memory databases, cloud computing, etc. * Big data analysis of heterogeneous data sources The emphasis of submissions should be on data-centric approaches; purely model- centric methods, even if they work with large data sets, are not in the focus of the special issue. ***** Submission Guidelines ***** Please submit papers for the sections BISE – Research Paper and BISE – State of the Art by 2012-11-01 at the latest via the journal’s online submission system (http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/). Please observe the instructions regarding the format and size of contributions to Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE)/WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK. Papers should not exceed 50,000 characters including spaces, minus 5,000 characters per page for illustrations. Detailed authors’ guidelines can be downloaded from http://www.bise-journal.org . All papers will be reviewed anonymously (double-blind process) by several referees with regard to relevance, originality, and research quality. In addition to the editors of the journal, including those of this special focus, distinguished national and international professionals with scientific and practical backgrounds will be involved in the review process. Complementary articles covering topics of this special focus are also more than welcome. Accepted papers will appear identically in English and German. The English-language version will appear in Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE), the German-language version will appear in WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK. ***** Schedule ***** Paper submission deadline: 2013-11-1 Author notification: 2014-1-10 First revision due: 2014-2-28 Second author notification: 2014-4-18 Final revision due (one language): 2014-5-23 Final revision due (second language): 2014-6-20 ***** Special Issue Editors ***** Professor Vasant Dhar Ph.D. Stern School of Business New York University, USA New York, USAUniversity of Liechtenstein vdhar(a)stern.nyu.edu Professor Dr. Matthias Jarke Information Systems RWTH Aachen University, Germany jarke(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de Dr. Jürgen Laartz McKinsey & Company Juergen.laartz(a)mckinsey.com -- --------------------------------------------------------------- PD Dr. Christoph Quix Fraunhofer-Institut fuer Angewandte Informationstechnik FIT Schloss Birlinghoven 53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany christoph.quix(a)fit.fraunhofer.de http://fit.fraunhofer.de -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de Konfiguration: https://www.lists.uni-karlsruhe.de/sympa/info/wi
