-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Less than 2 weeks to submit: 1st International Workshop on Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB 2013) Datum: Sun, 11 Aug 2013 11:42:09 +0300 Von: Gregoris Mentzas <gmentzas(a)mail.ntua.gr> Antwort an: gmentzas(a)mail.ntua.gr Organisation: NTUA An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ============================================= 1st International Workshop on Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB 2013) Workshop co-located with the 11th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing Berlin, Germany, December 2-5, 2013, http://www.icsoc.org/ https://sites.google.com/site/cloudbrokerworkshop/ ============================================= Abstract submission deadline: 23 August 2013 Deadline for Paper Submission: 30 August 2013 Paper Acceptance Notification: 14 October 2013 Camera Ready Paper & Copyright: 31 October 2013 ============================================= ABOUT CSB 2013 ----------------------------- The 1st International Workshop on Cloud Service Brokerage (CSB 2013) looks to a future in which a multi-cloud ecosystem exists, within which many cloud providers and consumers interact to discover, negotiate and use software services. Supporting this ecosystem are cloud brokers, whose role is to bring together providers and consumers, by offering service portals with added value for all parties. A central feature of the broker's role will be to assure quality control (both functional and non-functional), service continuity (failure prevention and recovery; service substitution) and market competition (arbitrage; service optimization; service customization). In this workshop we invite contributions which tackle theoretical, technical and application aspects of Cloud Service Brokerage. TOPICS OF INTEREST ----------------------------- Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to,methods and mechanisms for: Service specification - current service description languages are only up to the task of describing the service interface; what is needed are abstract languages to describe the complete behaviour and performance of services, such that it can be determined whether one service is formally substitutable by another; Service functional testing - current service testing is mostly developer-based and in-house; what is needed is a means of generating standard test sets from functional specifications of services, which can be grounded for each of the service protocol technologies described above; Service performance monitoring - current service monitoring technology is limited to SLAs for response-times and availability of end-points; what is needed is a more sophisticated data fusion approach with trend prediction, supporting service optimisation and substitution. Service optimisation - current service platforms offer single-vendor services with failover substitution, or manual selection from several providers; what is needed is a means of offering multi-vendor services on a competitive basis, with automatic arbitrage between different providers. Service governance - current services and platforms are developed following in-house software processes; what is needed are explicit standards and methods for governing the whole service lifecycle, ensuring common quality standards and interfaces, supporting convergent service development and service customisation. Other topics relevant to the Cloud Broker role will be considered; please note that service security is out of scope, being a matter for the Cloud Auditor role IMPORTANT DATES ----------------------------- Abstract submission deadline: 23 August 2013 Deadline for Paper Submission: 30 August 2013 Paper Acceptance Notification: 14 October 2013 Camera Ready Paper & Copyright: 31 October 2013 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ----------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers written in English.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] MKWI 2014 – Call for Papers „Informationssysteme in der Finanzwirtschaft“ Datum: Fri, 09 Aug 2013 18:27:24 +0200 Von: Thomas Falk <Thomas.Falk(a)wiwi.uni-regensburg.de> An: <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de> ************************************************************************************************************************ Einladung zur Einreichung von Beiträgen (Call for Papers) ************************************************************************************************************************ Teilkonferenz „Informationssysteme in der Finanzwirtschaft“ im Rahmen der Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik (MKWI) 2014 vom 26.02. - 28.02.2014 an der Universität Paderborn http://www.mkwi2014.de/Cfps/Details/18 ************************************************************************************************************************ __ __ _Inhalt:_ __ Finanzdienstleister, insbesondere Banken, stehen auch nach der Finanzkrise im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Auch wenn Ursache und Wirkung der Finanzkrise weitestgehend untersucht und Rettungsmechanismen etabliert wurden, bleiben viele Fragen unbeantwortet. Wie lassen sich beispielsweise die Transparenz von Produkten und Transaktionen erhöhen oder die systemischen Risiken interdependenter Netzwerke erkennen und vermeiden? Zudem, und nicht nur bedingt durch die Finanzkrise, ist die Fragestellung nach adäquaten Anreizstrukturen, beispielsweise um ein eigennütziges Verhalten (moral hazard) des Bankberaters zu unterbinden, von großer Relevanz. Auch die erfolgreiche Nutzung sozialer Medien innerhalb der Bank und in der Kommunikation mit den Kunden eröffnet viele Fragen. Inwiefern können soziale Netzwerke genutzt werden, um Kundenanforderungen an Bankprodukte zu ermitteln und den Kunden aktiv in den Produktentwicklungsprozess einzubinden? Gleichzeitig kommt dem Prozess- und Qualitätsmanagement im Spannungsfeld zwischen individuellen Kundenwünschen und zunehmender Prozessstandardisierung bzw. -automatisierung zentrale Bedeutung zu. So stellt sich für Verantwortliche verstärkt die Frage, wie sich die Bankprozesse hochstandardisiert gestalten lassen und gleichzeitig die wachsende Nachfrage nach individualisierten Kundenlösungen bedient werden kann. Informations- und Anwendungssysteme können unterstützend oder selbst als Teil der Problemlösung fungieren. In vielen Fällen sind sie in Banken das Untersuchungsobjekt, und es sind beispielsweise wichtige Fragestellungen mit Blick auf Einsatzbedingungen, Management und Nutzenrealisierung zu analysieren. Erwünscht sind allerdings nicht nur Beiträge, die diese aktuellen Themen als Herausforderungen der Wirtschaftsinformatik aufgreifen. Auch der Beitrag der IT, beispielsweise zur Umsetzung regulatorischer Rahmenbedingungen zur Steigerung der Effizienz von Prozessen oder zur Verbesserung von Investmententscheidungen, bietet ausreichend Ansatzpunkte für Forschungsbeiträge oder Erfahrungsberichte. Ziel des Tracks ist es, ein Forum der Kommunikation und des Erfahrungsaustausches zwischen Praktikern und Wissenschaftlern aus den Bereichen Finanzwirtschaft und Wirtschaftsinformatik zu schaffen. Dabei wird sowohl die Sicht der Finanzdienstleister als auch die der Kunden und Technologielieferanten berücksichtigt. __ __ _Mögliche Themen:_ __ Für die MKWI 2014 laden wir Autorinnen und Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Praxis ein, Beiträge zur Teilkonferenz „Informationssysteme in der Finanzwirtschaft“ aus folgenden Themenbereichen (nicht ausschließlich) einzureichen: ·Industrialisierung im Finanzdienstleistungsbereich ·Leistungserbringung in Wertschöpfungsnetzen ·Gestaltung innovativer Produkte, Prozesse und Geschäftsmodelle ·Erfahrungen zur Nutzung sozialer Medien im Banking ·Multikanal- und Allfinanzvertrieb ·Electronic Banking/Mobile Banking ·Innovative Zahlungssysteme ·Veränderungen rechtlicher Rahmenbedingungen ·Electronic Financial Reporting ·Prozessoptimierung, Prozessmanagement und Qualitätsmanagement ·Management operationeller Risiken ·Systemische Risiken ·Governance und Management der Bank-IT ·Business- und Process-Intelligence im Finanzdienstleistungsbereich Beiträge können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden.

Fwd: [wkwi] ZfB/JBE Special Issue: THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS ANDTECHNOLOGY IN THE E-BUSINESS AGE
by Gustaf Neumann 09 Aug '13

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] ZfB/JBE Special Issue: THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS ANDTECHNOLOGY IN THE E-BUSINESS AGE Datum: Fri, 9 Aug 2013 16:13:30 +0200 (CEST) Von: Tim Weitzel <tim.weitzel(a)uni-bamberg.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de ** *Call for Papers *** *Special Issue of ZfB/* *Journal of Business Economics: * *the impact of Information Systems and Technology in the E-Business Age*** While Information Systems (IS) are an indispensable part of the value creation in firms, understanding and governing the impact of IS or a firm's IT capability on eventual organizational goals remains a challenge for researchers and practitioners [Bharadwaj 2000; Santhanam and Hartono 2003]. IT business value is very important to the IS field as it links IT to firm value, which is at the core of strategic management [Peppard and Ward 2004]. A maturing literature on IT business value creation suggests that organization level impacts should be understood through intermediate constructs such as business process performance [Melville et al. 2004], IT flexibility [Byrd and Turner 2000] or usage [Chan 2000; DeLone and McLean 1992]. Still our knowledge of what are adequate intermediate success variables, how they are related with IT and tangible output, and what technologies and governance mechanisms should be used to achieve desirable outputs is still much too narrow. Similarly, research shows that IT is essential in important intermediate processes that produce highly relevant output like innovation and knowledge [Kleis et al. 2012]. However, our knowledge on how and why IT and innovation are related is limited. The recent emergence of widespread information and knowledge networks propelled through easy to use technologies like Wikis and similar social network platforms signifies opportunities for success and innovation creation. But at the same time, uncertainties if they require new theories and approaches or if they are just "traditional" phenomena under stronger network effects exhibit our lack of sound theoretical knowledge of how such networks and relevant success measures are related, and should be designed and governed. We want to stimulate novel perspectives on the evaluation and creation of success in IT-related contexts. Following the call of Kohli and Grover [2008] that "evaluation research should have a centrality in our field, as it is germane to the existential debate on the field's core" *we look for theoretical, empirical, and design oriented research* on the evaluation, creation and governance of success in Information Systems and networks. We welcome a variety of lenses of inquiry, including economic, technical, behavioral, strategic, and organizational. Also, research that establishes rigorous grounds for understanding new phenomena and to foster sophisticated future research by clarifying theoretical foundations, managerial challenges and key variables by, for instance, rich narratives that help make new phenomena tangible, are sought. *Topics of interest include*: ·Understanding and governing the relation between social media and firm goals ·Do we need other theories to understand the adoption, diffusion, usage and value contribution of Web 2.0 technologies, maybe a new IS success 2.0 model, or are those just another application domain? ·How can IT help improve a firm's innovativeness? How do Knowledge Management Systems yield business benefits? ·How is IT business value creation different in private commercial enterprises compared to public enterprises and NGOs? To what extent should E-Government research hence use theories, methods and success measures that are different from other research domains? ·Economic, technical, and social aspects of IT business value creation ·The societal impact of IS ·How does outsourcing and globalization/internationalization impact IT reliant processes and their performance? ·Standards, enterprise architecture and success ·What are success factors in FLOSS networks (free/libre open source software)? ·How do "green IT" initiatives have measurable direct and indirect effects on firm goals, and how can IT help achieve "green" goals beyond lower energy costs? ·Domain specific IS success models, for example in Health Care, Automotive (E-Cars), security, knowledge management, outsourcing, E-Government (theoretical and/or empirically validated), cloud computing *References*** Bharadwaj, A.S.

Please consider the author guidelines at http://www.zfb-online.de/index.php?do=ah. *Journal of Business Economics* The *Journal of Business Economics* *(JBE)* was founded in 1924 by renowned business economics professors under the name "Zeitschrift für Betriebswirtschaft (ZfB)" and has since then been counted among the leading professional journals in the business economics sector. Today, it is edited by eleven university professors who serve as Department Editors. *Information Systems* is one of the departments of JBE. The editorial board members are from Europe, Japan and the USA. Further information is available at http://www.zfb-online.de <http://www.zfb-online.de/>. As of January 1st, 2013, the *JBE* will only be published in English, but will still carry the German subtitle "Zeitschrift für Betriebswirtschaft". It creates an international publication platform, allowing the published results to become globally recognized. This will make it more appealing for authors and in particular for young scientists to publish their articles in the JBE, while they can still benefit from the established reputation of the "Zeitschrift für Betriebswirtschaft". This benefit becomes even greater given that the journal will be incorporated into *SpringerLink*'s international collection "Business and Economics" and will become widespread throughout the world. *Contact Information:* For further inquiries, please contact Tim Weitzel (tim.weitzel(a)uni-bamberg.de) All best Tim Weitzel, Armin Heinzl _______________________________________________________________ Prof. Dr. Tim Weitzel Full Professor, Chair of Information Systems and Services <http://www.uni-bamberg.de/isdl> /Dean of the Information Systems and Informatics Faculty <http://www.uni-bamberg.de/wiai> at the University of Bamberg //Director of CHRIS - Centre of Human Resource Information Systems <http://www.uni-bamberg.de/isdl/leistungen/transfer/e-recruiting/> / /Senior Editor of the Journal of the Association of Information Systems <http://aisel.aisnet.org/jais>/ University of Bamberg http://www.uni-bamberg.de/isdl _______________________________________________________________

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: SIGBPS Workshop on Business Processes and Services, Dec 15, 2013, Milan, Italy x Datum: Mon, 5 Aug 2013 17:02:06 +0800 Von: Wei Thoo Yue <wtyue99(a)gmail.com> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org ***Call for papers and participation*** SIGBPS Workshop on Business Processes and Services (in conjunction with International Conference on Information Systems) December 15, 2013, Milan,Italy AIS-SIGBPS Website: www.sigbps.org <http://www.sigbps.org> Workshop Website: www.sigbps.org/bps13 <http://www.sigbps.org/bps13> (in conjunction with International Conference on Information Systems) *Theme: Business Process Analytics* The growth of Internet-enabled businesses sees an increasing potential of process analytics to derive additional values in the business process value chain. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new research directions in the area of business process management and business service automation. A critical goal of the workshop is to cultivate high quality research concerning Internet-enabled business processes and services, which include new technological advances such as cloud computing, mobile commerce, service virtualization, and big data analysis. This workshop aims to extend the boundaries of research in business process management by integrating new elements that have not been sufficiently emphasized in the past. The recent rapid advances in information systems have created both challenges and opportunities to develop new business services via innovative business processes. For instance, we know how to automate routine, formal business processes but have not really attempted computerizing ad hoc processes that may emerge spontaneously and have short life span. These may include examples like setting up ad hoc meetings that may involve a number of people from different places, different IT devices and platforms, an evolving agenda, a set of documents as inputs and outputs and some decisions and outcomes. Such meetings are often very valuable but also time consuming to organize and manage. Another important area of interest of this workshop is to promote theoretical efforts in business processes. The business process modeling and automation research has been largely driven by the need to solve practical problems. There has been a lack of strong theories in this area and we believe that it is essential to develop new theories about business process and service automation. Given the nature and purposes of this workshop, we invite papers of no more than five pages that are well articulated and formatted in single line spacing, Times New Roman, 12 pt, 1 inch margins. We particularly seek position papers but also welcome conceptual papers with a strong theoretical flavor, as well as completed research papers or research-in-progress papers. Suggested research topics include, but not limited to, the following ones: * Cloud computing and process management * Collaborative processes in social media * Coordination and cooperation mechanisms for process management * Data mining for process technologies and management * Financial service applications * Frameworks and methodologies for collaboration processes * Healthcare and process management * Human resource management under distributed process technologies * Metrics and measurements in business processes and services * Evaluations of business process and service implementations * Mobile commerce and process management * Organization and culture issues in process automation * Process competencies in information intensive businesses * Process management methodologies * Business process theories and applications * Technology and architecture issues in process driven organizations * Telecommuting and process modeling * Workflows in collaborative operations and systems * Consequences of process and service virtualization * Possible emergence of novel virtual intermediaries * Public policy implications * Important Dates:* *Submission Deadline: Oct 1, 2013* *Notification of Acceptance: Oct 22, 2013* *Final version Due: Oct 31, 2013*
