-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [AISWorld] AMCIS'14 CFP:Knowledge Management Success, Value, and Performa... Datum: Fri, 31 Jan 2014 05:33:30 -0500 (EST) Von: MurphJen(a)aol.com An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ================================================================ 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Track: Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management Minitrack: Knowledge Management Success, Value, and Performance Measurement Savannah, GA Â? August 7-10, 2014 http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/ ================================================================ 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. Possible topics for papers in this minitrack are: Â·Frameworks and models for assessing knowledge management and/or organizational memory systems Â·Methodologies and processes for measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory success and performance Â·Impact of knowledge management strategy, organization, systems, culture, and other issues on knowledge management/organizational memory success Â·Organizational effectiveness/efficiency due to knowledge management/organizational memory/organizational learning, knowledge and organizational memory use Â·Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning metrics Â·Knowledge management, organizational memory, and organizational learning success factors and key performance indicators Â·Benchmarking of knowledge management/organizational memory initiatives Â·Case studies of knowledge management and organizational memory success and performance measurements Â·Measuring knowledge management and/or organizational memory performance in global organizations and globally dispersed communities Â·Effectiveness and/or efficiency of knowledge management/organizational memory systems Â·Modeling and measuring the impact of social software on knowledge management performance Â·Defining knowledge management and organizational memory success Â·Rigorous anecdotes and user stories and their theoretical basis to facilitate the value of knowledge-based initiatives Â·Developing grounded theory approaches to valuing knowledge-based initiatives We welcome original research papers regardless of decision domain, decision process, or research methodology. Since related problems have been studied in numerous problem domains and diverse scientific disciplines, we encourage authors to explore this rich literature and benefit from it. ---- Submission Outline ---- + Manuscript submissions open: January 5 2014. + Submission Deadline: midnight, Savannah (EST) time, March 1, 2014 + Author Notification: April 4, 2014 + Revision submission: April 18, 2014 + Camera ready submission deadline: April 25, 2014 Paper submissions must be made electronically through the AMCIS on-line submission system ( http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2014 ).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 2nd CfP: BPM 2014 - International Conference on Business Process Management Datum: Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:00:23 +0000 Von: Matthias Weidlich <m.weidlich(a)imperial.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *********************************************************************** 2nd Call for Research and Industry Papers BPM 2014 12th International Conference on Business Process Management 7-12 September 2014, Haifa, Israel http://bpm2014.haifa.ac.il *********************************************************************** The BPM conference is the leading forum for researchers, practitioners, developers and users in the field of Business Process Management (BPM) to explore and exchange knowledge on BPM. The conference covers all aspects of BPM, including theory, models, techniques, architectures, systems, and empirical studies, and engages the most renowned representatives of the BPM community worldwide in talks, tutorials, and scientific discussions. Given the increasing span of BPM, this year the conference is opening up to a number of new topics such as business process improvement, studies relating to business process quality, BPM education and training and process data analytics and visualization. These new topics add to existing areas of interest and relevance to BPM research and industry. The conference particularly reaches out to emerging fields of research, industrial practice, and applications. Recognizing the interdisciplinary nature of BPM, the conference also encourages submissions that embrace other disciplines such as Information Systems and IT Management, Data and Knowledge Management, Web/Software Engineering, Service-Oriented Computing, Social Computing, Cloud Computing, and many more. Besides regular research papers, authors may submit industry papers, clearly marked as such. An industry paper reports work from within a context of BPM practice, typically studying requirements imposed by current practice, identifying new problems, or reporting experience on the deployment of methods, solutions, tools or systems in practice. Industry submissions undergo the same review process as regular research papers and are requested to meet the same high quality standards for originality, clarity of the contribution, and relevance to the community. However the review of an industry paper puts more emphasis to the value of new insights into current practice and less emphasis to the technical depth and scientific methodology compared to regular research papers. BPM 2014 will take place in Haifa, Israel's beautiful seaport on the Mediterranean. Haifa is situated on the Carmel Mountain, overlooking the Haifa bay and the mountains of Galilee, and has panoramic views as well as beautiful sandy beaches. Haifa is also an industrial center, housing the R&D labs of international corporations. Israel's rich history and cultural heritage attracts millions of tourists each year, with sacred places to three religions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Fwd: Call for Papers AMCIS2014 - Minitrack Cloud Operations and Very Large Business Applications (VLBA) Datum: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 21:37:34 +0100 Von: Holger Schrödl <holger.schroedl(a)ovgu.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ================================================================ CALL FOR PAPERS 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems Savannah, Georgia, August 07-10, 2014 Track: Enterprise systems (SIGEntSys) Minitrack: Cloud Operations and Very Large Business Applications (VLBA) Instructions for authors at: AMCIS website(http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/) ================================================================ DESCRIPTION Emerging technologies like mash-ups, web 2.0 and cloud computing on the one side and the increasing agility of business models on the other side raises the question how Enterprise Systems will look like in the future. Therefore, we see a new class of Enterprise Systems which address the need for more agility in the entire value chain with a loosely coupled system of distinct elements, orchestrated to a highly integrated, complex Information System (Very Large Business Applications, VLBA). VLBA act as enabler for intra- and interorganisational business processes and play a significant role in the development of new business models. This Mini-Track aims at studying, grounding, and finally exploiting the potential of VLBA to solve integration and coordination problems in distributed business processes as a key enabler of flexible boundaryless information systems. Key research questions are: -how to represent VLBA in service-based information systems by employing and adapting constructs, models, and methods of different information systems technology stacks, -how to coordinate software services by employing and adapting approaches for service discovery and composition, -how to operate large-scale, highly distributed enterprise systems aligned with the needs of an agile business environment, -how to negotiate and agree upon the delivery of software-based services (SLA), -how to control the delivery of software-based services in VLBA by measuring efficiency and effectiveness? This minitrack is continuing the successful start of the scientific discuss on the topic of VLBA in an international perspective from AMCIS 2012 and AMCIS 2013. SUGGESTED TOPICS Topics relevant for this mini-track include, but are not limited to, the following: -Cloud Computing and VLBA -VLBA Operations Management -Strategic, tactic and operative Systems Landscape Engineering -VLBA Business Simulations -VLBA Business Models -Analytical Business Process Engineering for VLBA -VLBA and Knowledge Management -VLBA security issues -Innovative VLBA Applications We invite contributions from different disciplines including information systems, information management, computer and management science to properly cover all facets of Very Large Business Applications. We encourage papers applying quantitative and qualitative, empirical and theoretical research methodologies such as case studies, action research, surveys, experiments, and design science.
