-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [wkwi] CFP: AMCIS 2014: Mini Track: Predictive Analytics Datum: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 08:17:40 +0100 (CET) Von: Felden Carsten <Carsten.Felden(a)bwl.tu-freiberg.de> Antwort an: postmaster(a)idefix.buva.sowi.uni-bamberg.de ### Apologies for cross-postings ### ************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems Savannah, Georgia, August 07-10, 2014 (http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/track-list/77-amcis-2014/88) AMCIS 2014 Track on Business Intelligence, Analytics, and Knowledge Management (SIGDSS) Mini-Track: Predictive Analytics: Definition, Implementation, and Usage ************************************************* * *Description* The term Predictive Analytics stems from the field of Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence is concerned with the support of decision-making. Decisions are by nature future oriented (past and presence cannot be influenced anymore). In any case of uncertainty about the future, forecasts are necessary to provide a decision support. Predictive Analytics is a form of data analysis to gather information and apply methods to predict future developments. Therefore, Predictive Analytics can be regarded as a conceptual part of Business Intelligence. But still there is a discussion whether the term is just a vogue expression or whether it can differentiate itself from existing fields like data mining or knowledge discovery. It is perceptible that a couple of publications focus mainly on empirical evaluation. Of course, such a development is comparable to other academic fields like Knowledge Discovery in Databases which emerged from a practical side as well. To establish it as a field of research, more theoretical background is needed and models need to be provided which describe the process of prediction and the usage of the different methods like simulation or Data Mining. The aim of the minitrack is to address aspects of academic background and practical ones as well. With a critical perspective all aspects of the described field need to be regarded to support an academic perception of the research field. ** *Topics are (but not limited to):* ·Definition and theoretical background of predictive analytics ·Methods of Predictive Analytics ·Data Mining, Knowledge Discovery in Databases, Simulation, System dynamics ·Decision support in uncertainty ·Applications of prediction ·Measurement and metrics of prediction quality ·Artificial Intelligence ·Algorithms like support vector machines, artificial neural networks ** ** *Important dates:* _March 1, 2014: Submission deadline _April 4, 2014: Authors will be notified as to whether their submission was accepted, conditionally accepted, or rejected _April 18, 2014: Authors must have their revised submissions submitted _April 25, 2014: Authors must have their camera-ready, final papers submitted *Instructions for authors* All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP AMCIS 2014 Minitrack "Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements" Datum: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 12:01:15 +0100 Von: Stefan Smolnik <fuh(a)smolnik.net> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de (Apologies for cross-postings of this announcement.) **************************************************************************** CALL FOR PAPERS 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2014) Minitrack: "Knowledge Management Value, Success and Performance Measurements" (http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/track-list/77-amcis-2014/88) August 7-10, 2014, Savannah, Georgia, USA (http://amcis2014.aisnet.org) ************************************************ *************************** Deadline for paper submissions: March 01, 2014 ============================================ More information: http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/call-for-papers 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 today’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 initiatives’ 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 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 ). BE SURE TO SELECT THE APPROPRIATE MINITRACK. Papers must not exceed 5,000 words and must conform to the AMCIS 2014 submission requirements. At least one author of every accepted submission must present at AMCIS 2014 in Savannah. For additional information see http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/call-for-papers.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP BISE Special Issue on CSCW & Social Computing Datum: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 09:58:10 +0100 Von: Michael Koch <michael.koch(a)unibw.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org, cscw-sig(a)jiscmail.ac.uk, eusset(a)listserv.zimt.uni-siegen.de, mci(a)listserv.zimt.uni-siegen.de, fgcscw(a)gi-ev.de, isworld(a)listserv.heanet.ie, "wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Liste (wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de)" <wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de>, dbworld(a)cs.wisc.edu Dear colleagues, we would like to draw your attention to a call for papers for the Business & Information Systems (BISE) special issue on "CSCW & Social Computing“, which can be found below. BISE (the International Journal of WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK) has been a leading journal in information systems for 55 years (impact factor 2012: 1.2). We cordially invite original research contributions for this special issue until July 1, 2014. 3/2015 CSCW & Social Computing Call-for-Papers 1 Special issue ---------------------- Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) has traditionally studied the interdependencies between collaborating human actors and computer systems. New CSCW systems enable completely new divisions of labor between collaborating actors and computer systems in an organizational setting. Particular examples are crowdsourcing, open innovation or the inclusion of external experts in internal processes. This has important implications for organizational structures, management and motivation. Social Computing refers to supporting social interaction and socialization by the use of IT systems. Within that context the term Social Software is used for tools or services that ìsupport, extend or derive added value from human social behaviorî. While both terms ìSocial Computingî and ìSocial Softwareî have only become relatively popular within the last ten years, the core ideas behind them have a much longer history, going back to Vannevar Bushís ideas about the Memex in 1945. In this special issue on "CSCW & Social Computing" we would like to focus on research that studies new human-human work and networking patterns as well as new configurations of humans and computers. Submissions should address challenges in the development, introduction and evaluation of information systems to support collaboration in teams, communities, crowds and social networks in and around organizations. Since supporting human work by information systems requires both an adequate understanding of technological developments and of work practices submissions can and should cover organizational, social and technical issues. In the context of this focus we are asking for submissions from research and practice, e.g. on the following topics: * Creating Value with Crowdsourcing * Optimizing core organizational processes with CSCW * From vision to action:† Collaborative Innovation Processes * Future Trends for Collaboration Systems * Vertical specialization of Collaboration Systems * Big Data and Collaboration * Organizational uses for social media * Social Collaboration in the Digital workplace * Enterprise Social Networks * Ubiquitous Collaboration * Collaboration Systems for Managing Complexity * Collaboration and the Customer Experience * Observed Collaboration Phenomena and Theories to Explain Them 2 Submission Guidelines --------------------------------- Authors are asked to submit their papers online under the category ìBISE-CSCW and Social Computingî by 2014-07-01 via the journalís submission system Editorial Manager (http://www.editorialmanager.com/buis/). All papers must follow the typing and formatting instructions for WIRTSCHAFTSINFORMATIK/BUSSINESS & INFORMATION SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (BISE) available at http://www.bise-journal.org. In particular, manuscripts should not exceed 50,000 characters (discounting 5,000 characters for each figure/table). Detailed authorsí guidelines can be downloaded from http://www.bise-journal.org. Submissions are accepted in English only. 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. 3 Schedule -------------------------------- Paper submission due: 2014-07-01 Notification of authors: 2014-08-26 Revisions due: 2014-10-18 Completion of a second revision (if needed): 2015-01-20 Anticipated publication date: June 2015 Special Issue Editors Michael Koch Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany michael.koch(a)unibw.de Gerhard Schwabe University of Zürich, Switzerland schwabe(a)ifi.uzh.ch Robert Briggs San Diego State University, USA robertowenbriggs(a)gmail.com -- 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

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 today'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 initiatives' 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 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 ). BE SURE TO SELECT THE APPROPRIATE MINITRACK. Papers must not exceed 5,000 words and must conform to the AMCIS 2014 submission requirements. At least one author of every accepted submission must present at AMCIS 2014 in Savannah. For additional information see http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/call-for-papers.
