-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2014 - Mini-track: Issues in Global Systems Implementation Datum: Wed, 5 Feb 2014 13:36:54 -0600 (CST) Von: George Mangalaraj <G-Mangalaraj(a)wiu.edu> An: aisworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Call for Papers: 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems, Savannah, Georgia, August 7-10, 2014 * Track: Global, International, and Cross Cultural Issues in IS (SIGCCRIS) Mini-track: Issues in Global Systems Implementation http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/track-list/77-amcis-2014/94 *Issues in Global Systems Implementation * Globalization has spurred growth of trans-national and multi-national enterprises. For these enterprises, integration of various information systems across different countries is imperative for their success. Implementing systems that seamlessly allow flow of data as well as control beyond the boundaries of the home country is fraught with challenges. Technologies and implementation strategies used in the home country may not be readily transferable to overseas operations. Organizations have to necessarily adapt these to suit local conditions. Implementation of global systems may be impacted by various environmental variables such as local rules and regulations, tariffs and currency differences. Perceptions and culture could also influence implementation strategies. Mainstream IS research on systems implementations have focused on single organization and single country implementations. Findings from such studies cannot be generalized to systems implementations where the country is not just a variable but provides the context of implementation. There are both challenges and opportunities to consider in global systems implementations. Some of the challenges posed by the global implementation of systems include availability of trained manpower, technology limitations, local laws and regulations. However, recent developments in technologies (e.g., cellular communications, cloud computing, etc.) have provided opportunities in standardizing the implementation strategies across multiple countries while eliminating some of the infrastructural challenges that were present otherwise. Scholarly research in this area will help academicians by providing an increased understanding of the issues salient to global information systems implementations. It will help practitioners better understand and proactively plan for implementation challenges. This mini-track invites research in the areas of global information systems development, implementation and usage. *Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * â?¢ Theoretical underpinnings of failures and successes in global systems implementations. â?¢ Critical success factors of enterprise systems implementation spanning multiple countries. â?¢ Global enterprise systems and architectures. â?¢ Impact of newer IT provisioning methods (e.g., cloud computing) on global information system implementations. â?¢ Cultural and demographic issues influencing global information systems implementation, adoption and usage. â?¢ Power equations and resistance to global systems implementation, adoption and usage. â?¢ Reconciling disparate accounting norms and taxation schedules and the use of IFRS, XBRL, SOX, and COBIT in global systems. â?¢ Ethics, laws and security issues in global systems implementations, adoption and usage. â?¢ Project management practices during the roll out of global IT systems. â?¢ Standardization of business process and technologies across multiple countries. â?¢ Differences in perceptions to e-commerce usage. â?¢ Cross border supply chain implementations in Maquiladoras, NAFTA, EU, ASEAN, etc. *Important Dates: * * March 1, 2014: Submission deadline (No submissions will be accepted after midnight, Savannah (EST) time, March 1, 2014) * 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 *Mini-track chairs: * Anil Singh, University of Texas at Brownsville George Mangalaraj, Western Illinois University Aakash Taneja, The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey George Mangalaraj, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Information Systems School of Computer Sciences Western Illinois University 447K Stipes Hall Macomb, IL 61455 Tel: (309) 298-1027 http://faculty.wiu.edu/G-Mangalaraj/

Luxembourg is the capital of the Grand Duchy, one of the founder states of the European Union, where about 43 per cent of the half million inhabitants are foreign. This multicultural ambience of day-to-day contact with people from the four corners of the Earth gives the small state an astonishingly cosmopolitan outlook - not least thanks to the European institutions and the financial center. It is however far easier to get around the capital (100 000 inhabitants) than it is in Berlin or Paris. The distances are short. There is a lively nightlife scene around the fashionable bars of Hollerich, the Grund, and Clausen. Furthermore, there are plenty of sports, leisure activities as well as events: cinemas and climbing parks, mountain bike trails and an enormous cultural range - from Jazz in the medieval city, contemporary art at MUDAM, theatre in every language or classical music in one of the most beautiful new buildings in Luxembourg, the Philharmonie. All this is set against the romantic backdrop of the medieval city (a UNESCO world heritage site since 1994), the castle in the richy-forested north and the vineyards - along the Mosel. *For more information* w: http://www.is-bmsd.org t: +359 888 534435 e: secretariat(a)iicrest.org

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Feb 10 2014 Submission Deadline - CfP: Big Data in Education and Learning Analytics @ ICALT 2014 Datum: Wed, 5 Feb 2014 19:50:23 +0100 Von: Jelena Jovanovic <jeljov(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *** Apologies for cross posting *** *Big Data in Education and Learning Analytics* in conjunction with the 14th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies - ICALT2014 Athens, Greece, July 7-10, 2014 URL:http://www.ask4research.info/icalt/2014/node/29 Paper Submission Deadline: February 10, 2014 Paper Acceptance Notification: March 17, 2014 Track Description and Topics of Interest The analysis and discovery of relations between human learning and contextual factors that influence these relations have been one of the contemporary and critical global challenges facing researchers in a number of areas, particularly in Education, Psychology, Sociology, Information Systems, and Computing. These relations typically concern learner performance and the effectiveness of the learning context. Be it the assessment marks distribution in a classroom context or the mined pattern of best practices in an apprenticeship context, analysis and discovery have always addressed the elusive causal question about the need to best serve learners' learning efficiency and the need to make informed choices on a learning context's instructional effectiveness. Significant advances have been made in a number of areas from educational psychology to artificial intelligence in education, which explored factors contributing to learning efficiency and instructional effectiveness. With the advent of new technologies such as eye-tracking, activities monitoring, video analysis, content analysis, sentiment analysis, social network analysis and interaction analysis, one could study these factors in a data-intensive fashion. This very notion is what is currently being explored under big data learning analytics, which includes related areas such as learning process analytics, institutional effectiveness, academic analytics, web analytics and information visualisation. BDELA@ICALT2014 will explore continuous monitoring of learner progress and traces of skills development among individual learners across programs and institutions. It will discuss issues concerning continuous mapping of institutional learning related achievements to gauge alignment with strategic plans and alignment of governmental strategies. It will examine assessment frameworks of academic productivity to continuously measure impact of teaching. It will discuss concerns such as how quality of instruction, attrition, and measurement of curricular outcomes using big data as the premise.

Fwd: [WI] ASPOCP 2014: Call for papers
by Gustaf Neumann 04 Feb '14

04 Feb '14

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] ASPOCP 2014: Call for papers Datum: Tue, 04 Feb 2014 14:57:48 +0100 Von: Marco Maratea <marco(a)dist.unige.it> Organisation: DIBRIS - University of Genova An: undisclosed-recipients:; [Apologize for multiple posting.] =============================================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS ASPOCP 2014 7th Workshop on Answer Set Programming and Other Computing Paradigms https://sites.google.com/site/aspocp14 July 23rd, 2014 Affiliated with the International Conference on Logic Programming (part of the Federated Logic Conference 2014) Vienna, Austria July 19-22, 2014 Collocated with the Vienna Summer of Logic 2014 Vienna, Austria July 12-24, 2014 =============================================================================== AIMS AND SCOPE Since its introduction in the late 1980s, answer set programming (ASP) has been widely applied to various knowledge-intensive tasks and combinatorial search problems. ASP was found to be closely related to SAT, which has led to a method of computing answer sets using SAT solvers and techniques adapted from SAT. While this has been the most studied relationship which is currently extended towards satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), the relationship of ASP to other computing paradigms, such as constraint satisfaction, quantified boolean formulas (QBF), first-order logic (FOL), or FO(ID) logic is also the subject of active research. New methods of computing answer sets are being developed based on the relation between ASP and other paradigms, such as the use of pseudo-Boolean solvers, QBF solvers, FOL theorem provers, and CLP systems. Furthermore, the practical applications of ASP also foster work on multi-paradigm problem-solving, and in particular language and solver integration. The most prominent examples in this area currently are the integration of ASP with description logics (in the realm of the Semantic Web), constraint satisfaction, and general means of external computation. This workshop will facilitate the discussion about crossing the boundaries of current ASP techniques in theory, solving, and applications, in combination with or inspired by other computing paradigms. TOPICS Topics of interests include (but are not limited to): - ASP and classical logic formalisms (SAT/FOL/QBF/SMT/DL). - ASP and constraint programming. - ASP and other logic programming paradigms, e.g., FO(ID). - ASP and other nonmonotonic languages, e.g., action languages. - ASP and external means of computation. - ASP and probabilistic reasoning. - ASP and machine learning. - New methods of computing answer sets using algorithms or systems of other paradigms. - Language extensions to ASP. - ASP and multi-agent systems. - ASP and multi-context systems. - Modularity and ASP. - ASP and argumentation. - Multi-paradigm problem solving involving ASP. - Evaluation and comparison of ASP to other paradigms. - ASP and related paradigms in applications. - Hybridizing ASP with procedural approaches. - Enhanced grounding or beyond grounding. SUBMISSIONS Papers must describe original research and should not exceed 15 pages in the Springer LNCS format <URL:http://www.springeronline.com/lncs/>. Paper submission will be handled electronically by means of the Easychair system. The submission page is available at https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aspocp14 IMPORTANT DATES Abstract and paper submission deadline: April 1, 2014 Notification: May 1, 2014 Camera-ready articles due: May 20, 2014 Workshop: July 23, 2014 PROCEEDINGS Accepted papers will be made available online and published in the Computing Research Repository (CoRR) afterwards. A selection of extended and revised versions of accepted papers will appear in a special issue of the Journal of Logic and Computation (http://logcom.oxfordjournals.org/), provided that a sufficient amount of high quality papers is collected. Such papers will go through a second formal selection process to meet the high quality standard of the journal. LOCATION The workshop will be held in Vienna, Austria, collocated with the International Conference on Logic Programming (ICLP) 2014.

Accepted submissions will be presented either as oral presentation or poster. In addition, the doctoral programme allows the researchers to exchange experiences with other students, build contacts, discuss problems and solutions, and receive feedback from senior researchers in related research areas. Thus, focus of the doctoral programme is besides scientific presentations and discussions also the possibility for socializing with researchers in related fields and getting feedback from experienced researchers. The doctoral programme is held in conjunction with the 44th annual meeting of the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI)). The doctoral programme of INFORMATIK 2014 is co-organized with the doctoral programme of the conference Künstliche Intelligenz (KI). Submissions to the topics of KI will undergo the same reviewing procedure as the other submissions to the doctoral programme. Submitted papers are evaluated by relevance, innovation, and interest for a larger audience. We expect full paper submissions of 10-12 pages adhering to the formatting guidelines of INFORMATIK 2014 (i.e., GI format). The papers should be focused on a particular research question as well as provide a 1-2 page description of the broader topic of the dissertation. In addition, we accept short papers of 4-6 pages. They are presented during the poster session on Thursday. A description of the broader topic of the dissertation is not required for short paper submissions. All accepted papers are published in the proceedings of the GI annual meeting. In terms of a doctoral programme, we kindly ask that the papers are authored and submitted by the doctoral students being the only author. Accepted papers are to be presented by the doctoral students either as oral presentation or poster. The posters will be presented together with the posters of the annual GI meeting and the posters of the students programme. Interested students can sign up for a mentoring programme. The organizers will select experienced researchers and assign slots for a personal coaching. Expression of interest to the mentoring programme can be done when submitting the papers. The mentoring programme is offered under the condition of proper fit to the topic and availability of experienced researchers. It will be given due notice.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CFP: The 6th International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (ACM MEDES 2014) Datum: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 11:25:35 +0100 Von: Youakim Badr <youakim.badr(a)insa-lyon.fr> An: medes(a)acm.org * Please distribute widely and accept our apologies for cross-posting * *************** CALL FOR PAPERS *************** The 6th International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES 2014) In-Cooperation with ACM, ACM SIGAPP and IFIP WG 2.6 http://sigappfr.acm.org/MEDES/14/ September 15-17, 2014 Buraidah-Al Qassim, Saudi Arabi Description and Objectives --------------------------- In the world of the Internet, the rapid growth and exponential use of digital medias leads to the emergence of virtual environments namely digital ecosystems composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software and applications sharing one or several missions and focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships among them. The digital ecosystem exhibits self-organizing environments, thanks to the re-combination and evolution of its "digital components", in which resources provided by each entity are properly conserved, managed and used. The underlying resources mainly comprehend data management, innovative services, computational intelligence and self-organizing platforms. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of digital ecosystems and their characteristics, they are highly complex to study and design. This also leads to a poor understanding as to how managing resources will empower digital ecosystems to be innovative and value-creating. The application of Information Technologies has the potential to enable the understanding of how entities request resources and ultimately interact to create benefits and added-values, impacting business practices and knowledge. These technologies can be improved through novel techniques, models and methodologies for fields such as data management, web technologies, networking, security, human-computer interactions, artificial intelligence, e-services and self-organizing systems to support the establishment of digital ecosystems and manage their resources. The International ACM Conference on Management of Emergent Digital EcoSystems (MEDES) aims to develop and bring together a diverse community from academia, research laboratories and industry interested in exploring the manifold challenges and issues related to resource management of Digital Ecosystems and how current approaches and technologies can be evolved and adapted to this end. The conference seeks related original research papers, industrial papers and proposals for demonstrations. Topics ------- MEDES 2014 seeks contributions in the following 10 areas: 1. Digital Ecosystem Infrastructure 2. Cloud computing 3. Emergent Intelligence 4. Service systems and Engineering 5. Trust, Security & Privacy 6. Data & Knowledge Management 7. Intelligent Web 8. Human-Computer Interaction 9. Networks and Protocols 10. Open Source Paper Submission ---------------- Submissions must be in an electronic form as PDF format and should be uploaded using the conference website. The submitted paper should be at most 8 ACM single-space printed pages. Papers that fail to comply with length limit will be rejected. Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 peer reviewers.

The Journal is a high quality refereed journal that seeks support from academicians, industry experts and specific government agencies. The JIPS focuses on publishing articles that address the paradoxical nature of privacy versus security amidst current global conditions. It is increasingly important that various constituents of information begin to understand their role in finding solutions to achieve a delicate balance between security and privacy. The JIPS will facilitate understanding of the information assurance technical framework as it pertains to government agencies, companies and individuals. The topics may include the information privacy and security issues pertaining to initiatives on counter-terrorism efforts around the world, the impact of U.S. federal regulation and compliance issues facing global corporations, the impact of privacy and security initiatives within small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and e-gambling. Article submissions are encouraged from both academics and practitioners. Each issue will include high quality articles from academics and practitioners, case studies, book reviews, and industry interviews. The Journal addresses issues of privacy and security from a global perspective and will consider articles with a cross-functional focus. The Journal will include articles in the following areas: - Information Assurance frameworks - Network security and impact on corporate infrastructure - Privacy laws and impact on information compliance issues - The duality of privacy and security and impact on corporate operations - Governmental regulations and changes on information security requirements - Data transfer issues across nations, states, and corporations - Privacy and security requirements in B2B and B2C information flows - Cross-functional aspects of information assurance and requirements faced by various business functions within companies - Web sites, portals and the issue of trust - Information privacy and security as it relates to end-users - Applications and case studies in privacy and security issues facing business organizations, government agencies and individuals - Emerging topics such as biometrics, software utilities, and IT obligations and how they change the business environment We also welcome suggestions on special issue covering a relevant topic. Review Process Each article will be blind-reviewed by three members of the editorial review board. Reviewer recommendation will be considered by the Editor-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. For a revision and rewrite, a revised paper will be sent to one of the Editors for final approval. The final decision will be made by the Editor-in-Chief. Interested authors should consult the journal's manuscript submission guidelines at http://jips.utep.edu Journal of Information Privacy and Security (JIPS)will be published henceforth by the Taylor and Francis group. All inquiries and submissions should be sent to: Editor-in-Chief: Dr. Kallol Bagchi, kbagchi(a)utep.edu <mailto:kbagchi@utep.edu> B.JIPS - Latest Issue Content - Vol.9 No.4 2013 Journal of Information Privacy and Security, Vol. 9, No. 4, 2013. Editorial Preface by the Editor-in-chief Research Paper 1: Acquiring Subject Participation for Information Security Survey Research: A Content and Correspondence Analysis Approach by Alice M. Johnson(Department of Business Administration, College of Business and Economics, North Carolina A&T State University) and Belinda P. Shipps (Department of Business Administration, College of Business and Economics, North Carolina A&T State University) Abstract. Twenty-four business executives and 22 security executives had previously participated in a study about information security investment. The current study asked participants to comment on their reasons for participating in that research. A total of 1003 reasons were submitted which were used to perform a content analysis of information security survey research (ISSR) participation factors. Security and business executives' reasons for participating differed. Reasons also differed by industry. The findings will help researchers to properly communicate the benefits of their studies and thus increase participation rates for ISSR. Greater participation will perhaps contribute to efforts to improve information security. Research Paper 2: An Empirical Investigation of Privacy Awareness and Concerns on Social Networking Sites by Sunil Hazari (Richards College of Business, University of West Georgia ) and Cheryl Brown (Richards College of Business, University of West Georgia) Abstract. Privacy affects every user who exchanges information over the Internet. In the past few years, the growth of information on social networks (such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) has increased exponentially. Companies are harvesting this information with and without the knowledge of individuals. While the exchange of information and seamless interaction between individuals and groups has become an easy task, issues related to this exchange, such as information privacy and security, have created new challenges. This study investigated respondents' attitudes towards privacy on social networking sites. In addition, the study sought to ascertain whether socio-demographic variables and knowledge of privacy issues influence attitudes and privacy concerns towards using social computing sites. Data analysis includes descriptive profile analysis, and statistical validation of attitudes and privacy concerns by means of correlation, regression, and cluster analysis. There was a significant relationship between privacy awareness and knowledge based on information provided by respondents. Most socio-demographic variables did not show significant effects on information privacy concerns. Implications of the findings are discussed. Further research is needed to investigate individual concerns on specific information that is being collected, stored, and shared on popular social networking sites. Research Paper 3: Control-Related Motivations and Information Security Policy Compliance: The Role of Autonomy and Efficacy by Jeffrey Wall, (University of North Carolina at Greensboro), Prashant Palvia (University of North Carolina at Greensboro), and Paul Lowry (City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) Abstract. Employees' failures to follow information security policy (ISP) can be costly to organizations, causing organizations to implement security controls to motivate secure behavior. Information security research has explored many control-related motivations (e.g., self-efficacy, response efficacy, and behavioral control) in the context of ISP compliance; however, the behavioral effects of perceptions of autonomous functioning are not well understood in security contexts. This paper examines employee autonomy as a control-related motivation from the lens of self-determination theory and psychological reactance theory. Self-determination theory is widely used in other disciplines to explain intrinsically driven behavior, but has not been applied to security research. Psychological reactance theory is also widely used, but is only beginning to receive attention in security research. Self-determination and psychological reactance offer complementary yet opposite conceptualizations of trait-based autonomy. This paper posits that perceptions of trait-based autonomy influence self-efficacy and response efficacy. Through a survey of government employees, we provide support for several hypotheses. We also discuss important directions for the use of self-determination theory and psychological reactance theory in future research. The Expert Opinion Section. Interview with an expert. The Book Review Section. The book reviewed: I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did, by Lori Andrews. New York: Free Press, 2013. 253 pp. Reviewed by Sadaf Ashtari, Eastern Michigan University. Mr. Ashtari observes that "the author puts forth a set of regulations called the Social Network Constitution to alleviate some of these difficulties, and help people keep their data and information safe in a public place and give them more means to protect themselves against offenders" but also mentions that more concrete examples are needed for a Social Network Constitution *Faruk Arslan* Department of Accounting and Information Systems | College of Business | The University of Texas at El Paso /Mobile/*:*00 1 915 227 4889| http://business.utep.edu/faculty/profiles/arslan/| www.linkedin.com/pub/faruk-arslan/6/1a1/913 <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/faruk-arslan/6/1a1/913>
