-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: Pre-ECIS 2014 SIG eGovernment workshop Datum: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:32:45 +0100 Von: Rony Medaglia <rm.itm(a)cbs.dk> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *CALL FOR PAPERS* ** *2014 Pre-ECIS Workshop* *Rethinking Information Systems in the Public Sector: Bridging Academia and Public service* ** Sponsored by AIS SIG eGovernment http://start.aisnet.org/members/group.aspx?id=89758 Tel Aviv, Israel, 8 June 2014 ** ** .Submissions due: March 17, 2014*//* .Notification of acceptance: April 7, 2014. ** Please submit your papers to: sigegov14(a)gmail.com <mailto:sigegov14@gmail.com> ** You are invited to submit a paper for presentation and discussion at the 2014 pre-ECIS Special Interest Group (SIG) eGovernment workshop, to be held on 8 June 2014, in Tel Aviv, Israel. The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality and relevance in eGovernment research. As previous SIG eGovernment pre-AIS event workshops, this workshop is dedicated to open discussions about the most important issues today, theoretical streams and different possible ways forward. The focus of the workshop is informed discussion. */Workshop Objective/* Transformations in the digital public sector call for a redefinition of the roles of Information Systems and innovation-driving public service models comprising co-development processes. Approaches like the CO-design, CO-creative CO-constructive development ("CO3") have been setting the process-framework with living labs, participatory design and open innovation. Four main streams of change can be identified in re-shaping the public sector: ·The generation and opening up of larger amounts of data from public sector operations. ·Increased and strengthened interactions between government and citizens. ·Simplified and speedier IS development and deployment. ·The growth of new financial solutions with innovation consortia and public/private partnerships. The goal of this workshop is to provide an informal interactive venue for discussing the expanding knowledge on these streams, and on their inter-relationships, by bridging the perspectives from IS, e-government, public administration and social sciences, and from the practitioner and citizen perspectives. eGovernment-related questions to be discussed include (but are not limited to): - Big/open data. - Smart Cities. - Social media and services. - Open innovation. - Citizen-centric eGovernment. - User-driven eGovernment design, management, and implementation. - Transparency and openness. - The relationship between eGovernment and the IS field. - Engaging stakeholders in eGovernment research. - Challenges of open-source and open-standard solutions. Details of the programme will be made available online at: http://start.aisnet.org/members/group.aspx?id=89758 */Submission/* We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion papers. Full papers should be max 5000 words. Discussion papers may be short, just a few pages, but should clearly and distinctly address one or more issues pertinent to eGovernment research including research methods and quality as well as focus of studies. Papers should be designed to support in-depth discussions of one of these issues during the workshop. The workshop papers will be clustered and each session will discuss a small set of papers focusing on similar or related issues. Each submission will be reviewed by the workshop co-chairs and at least one external reviewer. The submission will not be published as proceedings, and the authors will retain full authorship rights.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] JAIS Special Issue on Information Systems Solutions for Environmental Sustainability Datum: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 15:02:07 +0000 Von: Roya Gholami <royagholami2014(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Journal of the Association for Information Systems Call for papers Information Systems Solutions for Environmental Sustainability ** *Special Issue Guest Editors* Roya Gholami (Aston University, UK) - gholamir(a)aston.ac.uk <mailto:gholamir@aston.ac.uk> Niels Bjørn-Andersen (Copenhagen Business School, Denmark) - nba(a)cbs.dk <mailto:nba@cbs.dk> Helen Hassan (University of Wollongong, Australia) - hasan(a)uow.edu.au <mailto:hasan@uow.edu.au> Alemayehu Molla (RMIT University, Australia) - alemayehu.molla(a)rmit.edu.au <mailto:alemayehu.molla@rmit.edu.au> Richard T. Watson (University of Georgia, US) - rwatson(a)terry.uga.edu <https://mail.aston.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?C=OwmqExOMME6WMOWvB_RbasqOMp_41dAIM…> Creating a sustainable environment is a critical problem facing the whole world. We are all affected by global climate change and other massive environmental shifts, such as rising sea levels, ocean acidification and loss of biodiversity. These issues must be addressed before we go beyond the tipping point where the effects cannot be reversed. More and better quality information is a perquisite for perceiving the state of the environment and then making appropriate decisions to ameliorate identified problems. Given that information systems have been the major force for productivity increases in the last half-century, it is appropriate that IS scholars immerse themselves in creating solutions for environmental problems. Indeed, given the immensity of the ecological problems we face, it is imperative that that there is large scale involvement by the IS scholarly community in helping to create a sustainable society. Such engagement requires IS scholars to keep in mind the ultimate goal of solving significant societal problems related to environmental degradation. For this special issue, we invite papers oriented towards IS solutions for environmental sustainability.Authors should identify the environmental problem their paper addresses and justify its significance. Authors should indicate what actions their research suggests and give an indication of the available evidence to suggest that these actions will achieve their purpose. The goal of this Special Issue is to encourage authors to undertake research that can contribute to the solution of environmental problems. Thus, papers that address this goal are suitable candidates for submission. We encourage authors to submit an initial abstract so that the editors can provide guidance on the potential fit to this special issue's purpose of enhancing environmental sustainability. *Submissions are not restricted to a particular methodology or unit of analysis, but they should be focused on the creation of a more sustainable society.* Some possible questions for considerationare:^^[1] <#_ftn1> .What are the information requirements for a sustainable society? For example, what data, in terms of attributes and granularity, are required for pollution reporting and pricing? .What information do consumers need about the usage of the objects they own or manage to increase their awareness of their ecological impact? .How can information systems be used to change social norms to advance sustainability? .How can information systems be deployed to reduce environmental damage, such as reducing carbon emissions? .What information granularity will lead to more effective enforcement of environmental regulations? .What information reporting standards for organizations and products will enhance environmental decision making by governments, organizations, and consumers? .What theories have sufficient prescriptive accuracy to be useful in designing systems for a sustainable society? Submissions need not be limited to the preceding list of questions.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Fwd: AMCIS 2014 CFP: Strategic Use of IS and IT in Non-Profits and Social Enterprises Datum: Tue, 18 Feb 2014 06:33:25 -0500 Von: Richelle L. Oakley <rloakle3(a)uncg.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Track: Strategic and Competitive Use of Information Technology Mini track: Strategic Use of IS and IT in Non-Profits and Social Enterprises Mini-Track Co-Chairs: Richelle L. Oakley, rloakle3(a)uncg.edu <mailto:rloakle3@uncg.edu>, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro A. F. Salam, amsalam(a)uncg.edu <mailto:amsalam@uncg.edu>, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Lakshmi Iyer, lsiyer(a)uncg.edu <mailto:lsiyer@uncg.edu>. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Kathy White Loyd, kwloyd(a)uncg.edu <mailto:kwloyd@uncg.edu>, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro We invite the submission of papers to the IS in Non-profits and Social Enterprises Mini-track at the 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), which will be held on August 7-10, 2014 in Savannah, Georgia. Many organizations operate with a primary mission to serve the common good. Non-profit organizations, such as charities, focus on impacting the root causes of social problems in communities. Social enterprises aim to improve human well-being using traditional business methods and commercial strategies. These organizations focus on long-lasting social issues such as poverty, homelessness, education inequality, financial instability, lack of healthcare access and knowledge, etc. Both non-profits and social enterprises have various constraints that impact technology adoption, diffusion, and utilization towards efforts in achieving their strategic goals. Examples include regulatory issues, heavy reliance on volunteer staff, limited finances, etc. Interestingly, given these salient factors, there has been minimal research that focuses on the strategic use of technology within these organization types. There is significant potential to examine and improve how these organization types harness the power of information systems (IS) and technology (IT) to accelerate social impact. It is essential to focus on IS/IT utilization within non-profit and social enterprise organizations in order to continue developing a more in-depth understanding of strategic use and impact of IS/IT within these organizations. This mini-track solicits completed and research-in-progress papers addressing IS/IT issues in non-profits or social enterprises. Papers can be conceptual, theoretical, design, empirical, or case studies. Situated in non-profit or social enterprise organizations, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, development, deployment, and use or utilization of IS/IT * Intra- and inter-organizational IS/IT issues * Individual attitudes, behaviors, or characteristics that impact strategic use of IS/IT * Multiple stakeholder perspectives on IS/IT issues * IS/IT governance or policy issues * Evaluation and assessment of IS/IT impact on organizational performance * Social media, networking, and analytics * Business intelligence and related tools * Innovative and novel IS/IT applications Important dates: January 4, 2014: Manuscript submissions open March 1, 2014: Manuscript submission deadline at 11:59pm EST, Savannah time April 4, 2014: Author notification April 18, 2014: Authors revisions due April 25, 2014: Authors final, camera-ready papers due Instructions for authors can be found at http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/call-for-papers. If you have any questions regarding the topic or would like additional guidance, please send an email to the mini-track chairs.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers: Transforming Government (t-Gov) Workshop, 12 - 13 June, 2014 at Brunel University, UK Datum: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 07:31:59 +0000 Von: Muhammad Kamal <Muhammad.Kamal(a)brunel.ac.uk> An: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' (aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org) <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to submit your papers to the forthcoming Transforming Government (t-Gov) workshop, organised and held at Brunel University on June 12^th and 13^th 2014. The t-Gov workshop brings together for the 5^th year, both local and international researchers and practitioners to participate in sharing ideas for the transformation of government services through enabling electronic systems and processes. It includes a full program of papers, presentations and keynote speakers. Quality contributions will be double blind peer reviewed, for refereed proceedings that will be published online. */This year, we plan to hold a Horizon 2020 workshop to explore potential opportunities in ICT-enabled Public Sector Innovation in the new EU H2020 framework programme for Research and Innovation/*/./ We believe this will allow colleagues to form meaningful partnership for future collaborative bids. *Theme -- Co-Creating Public Services of the Future: The Role of ICT and Citizens' Participation in Transforming Government * *Introduction:* E-Government is a trend that is highly driven through advances in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the public services demanded by its stakeholders. The international popularity of the topic of e-Government has led to various studies being conducted across countries assessing the on-going developments, the readiness and impact of e-Government by the research community. E-government implementation efforts have now evolved from basic information provisioning to more integrated and joined-up service. Concepts such as citizens' participation in shaping the direction of public policy and co-creating public services have naturally emerged as innovative ways in which e-Government can have a transformative affect on public services. Having successfully implemented a number of transaction-based e-services by e-enabling statuary public functions has now prompted a move of emphasis towards realising transformational government (or t-Government) through redesigning more complex service based functions such as healthcare, education and social services. The transformational phase is considered the highest level of maturity for e-Government programmes and encompasses redefining the delivery of both statuary and service functions performed by government institutions. As such, the efforts to realise t-Government have moved from focusing on redesigning back office functions in the late 2000s to now using ICT innovations as a means to redefine the way services are delivered to users through challenging the norm. Moreover, as public finances are becoming ever tighter, governments are seeking more cost effective and efficient ways of delivering some of those services that were traditionally delivered by public institutions. To this end, concepts such as crowd-sourcing, social entrepreneurship and social innovation have also emerged as pertinent themes in the e-Government research landscape that can drive transformation across the public sector. Furthermore, 21^st century digital citizens now expect from the public sector the same level of efficiency, responsiveness and personalisation that they are accustomed in the private sector. However, the development of citizen-centred e-Government has been slow globally due to hesitancy by key players in the public sector to take decisive steps (and responsibility) to move from a representative system of government towards participatory and direct democracy. Yet, the potential offered by the internet and evolving ICTs are significant and coupled with the push for innovation from industry and public funding bodies, researchers and practitioners are offered the opportunity and platform for research and innovation to address these gaps. ** *Coverage: * To ensure that the workshop has the most comprehensive current and relevant coverage of all topics related to transformational government, we are inviting researchers and leading experts in their particular areas of research to contribute papers of 6000-7000 words that offer an in-depth discussion of the key issues, concepts and trends related to the field of transformational government. All manuscripts should be formatted according to the template available on http://www.tgovworkshops.org/). This year, there will also be a 'best paper' award that a selection of independent experts will select. ** *Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:* ** ·Innovative applications of ICT in the transformation of public services ·The influence of social media and citizens participation on public sector transformation ·The influence of cloud computing and shared services on transforming public services ·The significance of social innovation and co-creation on transforming public services ·The development, implementation, control and maintenance of transformational government projects ·Challenges, issues and complexities involving the implementation of transformational government ·The significance of t-Government benefits offered to both government and citizens ·A global perspective and assessment of t-Government implementation efforts ·IT-Governance, integrated service delivery and reengineering of the public sector ·Different process, information systems and technology integration approaches used in t-Government and e-Government projects ·The impact of e-Government and t-Government on social inclusion and e-participation ·Enterprise architecture and interoperability at various levels of government ·Barriers to awareness, adoption and diffusion of (t) and (e) Government services ·Evaluation of case studies involving transformational change in the public sector ·Overview studies; development within countries, policies, infrastructure facilities and comparative studies (comparing countries) of (t) and (e) Government ·Tools, methods, frameworks and guidelines for t-Government ·The role of Simulation, Gaming and Visualisation in transforming public services ·Technologies, design approaches and management strategies that facilitate t-Government ·Theories and conceptual models that support t-Government implementation ·Role of socio-economic determinants in encouraging adoption and diffusion of e-Government services ·And other relevant topics and issues that may influence, relate to or impact on transformational government. *Best papers will be selected for the following journals:* ·Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy (TGPPP) ·Journal of Enterprise Information Management (JEIM) ·International Journal of Electronic Government Research (IJEGR) *Important Dates: * Manuscripts must be submitted to submissions(a)tgovworkshops.org <mailto:submissions@tgovworkshops.org>, no later than *April 17^th , 2014* For any further information, please email:info@tgovworkshops.org <mailto:info@tgovworkshops.org> Regards ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Muhammad Mustafa Kamal (PhD, MSc DCS, OCP 'DBA', MCS, BBA) Brunel University, Brunel Business School Office 305b, Eastern Gateway Building, Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH Tel: +44 (01895) 267728 | Fax: +44 (01895) 269775 Email: muhammad.kamal(a)brunel.ac.uk <mailto:muhammad.kamal@brunel.ac.uk> Twitter: @muhammadmkamal cid:image003.jpg@01CF2960.9AA94EE0

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: PACIS 2014 - Enterprise Systems Datum: Mon, 17 Feb 2014 14:15:35 +0800 Von: Chuan-Hoo Tan <ch.tan(a)cityu.edu.hk> An: <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS) 2014 Business Intelligence and Big Data Analytics Track Chengdu, China, June 24-28, 2014 Track details: http://pacis2014.org/track_es.php Track description: Enterprise System (ES), as one of the most costly IT innovation investment by a formal organization, has gained significant progress in terms of research and practice for the last two decades. As a large-scale, integrated software package, ES simplifies, coordinates and manages almost all the business processes andinformation flow across multiple business units(e.g. accounting, marketing, manufacturing and logistics) resulting in an organized management of an entire organization. Due to its organization-wide impact, significant research attention has been expanded to understand various essential, yet multifaceted issues relating to ES design, implementation, adoption, and upgrade. To provide better services to organizational users, ES has developed, over the years, from providing back office services (known as Enterprise Resource Planning system) to affording front office and inter-organizational services (such as Customer Relationship Management and value-chain systems). Recently, ES vendors have begun exploring the new era of ES applications with Cloud ERP computing, web services (e.g., web 2.0 role in ES), high-performance analytics appliance (e.g., SAP HANA), and mobile applications and technologies to accelerate key business process, speed decision making, and better customers engagement for maximized revenue and productivity. Thus, such rapid technological development and its indispensable role in organizations warrant novel and forward looking papers, which propose and critically evaluate new ways of thinking about business processes, system development, and innovative enterprise architecture. We welcome papers that adopt conceptual and empirical researches representing all ontological perspectives. Our intention is to provide a forum to bridging both researchers and educators with alike interests to (a) share their current work and plan future directions for the field, and (b) stimulate future collaborations in research. Possible topics of interest include (but are not limited to): .Business Intelligence and Knowledge Management in ES .Business process management frameworks (e.g. COBIT, Six-sigma, PMI and SCOR) .Business process management, adoption, governance and innovation .Cloud ES, ERP II and Business Process Modeling Tools .ES design, implementation, and maintenance in small, medium and large organizations .ES benefits evaluation and realization .ES upgrade and post-implementation challenges, issues and critical success factors .ES software and vendor selection and adoption challenges and tips .Extended ES, including SCM system and CRM system .ES analytics, future role of big data, predictive and mobile computing .Inter- and intra-organizational integration of ES and IT infrastructures .Strategic alignment of business process management (e.g., value-based process management) Submission details: Submission guidelines: http://pacis2014.org/initial.php Submission deadline: 3 March 2014 Acceptance notification: 20 April 2014 Final version due: 1 May 2014 Track co-chairs: Chuan-Hoo Tan, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (ch.tan(a)cityu.edu.hk <mailto:ch.tan@cityu.edu.hk>) Shun Cai, Xiamen University, China (caishun(a)xmu.edu.cn <mailto:caishun@xmu.edu.cn>) Say Yen Teoh, RMIT University, Australia (sayyen.teoh(a)rmit.edu.au <mailto:sayyen.teoh@rmit.edu.au>) Disclaimer: This email (including any attachments) is for the use of the intended recipient only and may contain confidential information and/or copyright material.
