The use of EMRs/EHRs faces distinctive challenges in larger hospital settings, as well as in smaller ambulatory practices including organizational challenges, resource constraints, and technological bottlenecks. Notably, vendors have many EMR/EHR offerings depending on the type of practice; however anecdotal evidence points out that implementing these solutions has been fraught with serious challenges in terms of delivering meaningful use. These differences highlight the need for in-depth multi-level examination of EMR/EHR in large, ambulatory and smaller healthcare practices. The focus of this mini-track is on research on EMRs/EHRs in healthcare practices of various types such as large, ambulatory and smaller practices, that furthers our understanding of (1) systems, processes and strategies for implementing EMR/EHR (2) Electronic exchange of healthcare information among different stakeholders, (3) Integration of mobile devices and medical devices with healthcare systems 3) security and privacy issue associated with EMR/EHR in healthcare organizations. The mini-track is open to broad survey articles, case studies, conceptual papers, descriptive reports, focused research issues analyzed using a variety of tools and empirical methodologies including, but not limited to survey, experimental design, workflow and other forms of business process modeling, interviews, content analysis, and various qualitative approaches. You are welcome to submit work that is not fully completed as long as the importance of the problem is well-established, paper is well articulated and fits with the themes of the research track. However, completed research will receive precedence.** Suggested Topics The topics that characterize this mini-track are: ·Implementation of EMR/EHR systems in healthcare practices ·Value proposition of EMR/EHR systems ·Interconnectivity and information sharing between EMR/EHR systems across practices and hospitals ·Improvement in healthcare process through EMR/EHR systems ·Implementing electronic prescribing and practice management systems by healthcare providers ·Work flow redesign in healthcare practices ·Achieving meaningful use by healthcare providers ·Health Information Exchanges ·Challenges and issues of sharing electronic health information among different stakeholders ·Enhancing security and privacy in electronic exchange of healthcare information ·Integration of Medical Devices (such as Vital signs monitor, EKG and ECG machines etc.) with EMR/EHR systems ·Mobile devices (smart phones, tablet PCs, iPads etc.) and EMR/EHR systems ·Mobile personal health records -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balaji Sankaranarayanan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, IPM Department Bentley University 175 Forest Street, Smith 402 Waltham, MA 02452 Office: (781) 891 2068 Fax: (781) 891 2949 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2014 CFP Mini-Track "Design, Evaluation and Implication of Online Communication" Datum: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 14:26:03 -0800 Von: Zhang Yi <zhang.shengwen(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org ======================================================= CALL FOR PAPERS AMCIS 2014 (August 7-10, 2014, Savannah, Georgia, USA) Mini-Track: "Design, Evaluation and Implication of Online Communication" Track: Human Computer Interaction AMCIS 2014 website: http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/index.php/track-list/77-amcis-2014/98 ======================================================= We invite you to submit your manuscripts to the 20^th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2014), HCI Track and Design, Evaluation and Implication of Online Communication mini-track. Online communication technologies enable individuals to communicate with one another via mediating technologies such as private corporate intranets and the Internet. Research in this area is broad and interdisciplinary, examining how human agents use interactive technologies to perform both business processes and personal interactions. The phenomena of interests to researchers in this area may include but are not limited to: ICTs, virtual communication (such as Lowry, et al., 2009), online communities (such as Posey, et al., 2010), virtual team research (such as Olson & Olson, 2012), network communication, instant messaging (such as Lowry, et al., 2011), group decision-making (such as Lowry, et al., 2010), videoconferencing, text messaging, hypertext, distance learning, Internet forums, groups, and distribution lists, and design and analytical methodologies. With never-ending technological advances to information and communication technologies, communication systems continue to evolve into /new forms/involving innovative media and applications. The impact of the organizational use of /new technologies/such as virtual and mixed reality, augmented environment, 3D web, adaptive and personalized interfaces, newaudio and video techniques, and data visualization deserves further research. Furthermore, employees are increasingly working together in virtual teams with different time zones, different geographic locations and different cultures. The increased commonality of virtual work teams present challenges to productivity in organizations. Advancements are needed in understanding how information technologies can be leveraged to overcome the workplace difficulties presented by geographic, temporal and cultural distances. ===== SUGGESTED TOPICS====== Given the novelty of many new technologies and their potential for transforming businesses, social communications, and education, this mini-track aims to advance the understanding of best theories and practices for designing, evaluating and using new online communication tools and technologies. Furthermore, many new non-business oriented online communication technologies are transforming social interactions and human networks. It is, therefore, important to analyze cases and examples and conduct experiments where businesses are leveraging public and social electronic communications. *Topics include but are not limited to:* * Impacts of new tools and technologies that support personal, interpersonal, group, community, and organizational communications. * Influence of online communication technology in virtual communities. * Impact of online communication on group behavior and outcomes in virtual teams. * Emerging online communication technologies, their adoption, usage, evaluation, and effects. * New design genres examining online communication technology used in political, economic, social, and legal contexts. * ICT tools and applications through which social relations are developed, maintained, and grown. * Theoretical and conceptual frameworks concerning the design, usage, and evaluation of innovative CMC tools and technologies * New concerns regarding information privacy, interpersonal and business related trust issues, self-disclosure concerns, and other confidentiality issues for employees, individuals, and minorities (such as women, teens, GLB) in using online communication technology. * Studies of the components, processes, and contexts of emerging and innovative online communication and technologies. * Impact of online communication technology in teaching and learning. ===== IMPORTANT DATES ====== * January 5, 2014: AIS Review System will begin accepting submissions for AMCIS 2014 * 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 CHAIR INFO ===== * Dr. Yi (Jenny) Zhang, Department of Information Systems & Decision Sciences, California State University, Fullerton (jzhang(a)fullerton.edu <mailto:jzhang@fullerton.edu>) * Dr. Hyo-Joo Han, Department of Information Systems, Georgia Southern University (hhan(a)georgiasouthern.edu <mailto:hhan@georgiasouthern.edu>)

Fwd: [AISWorld] TOC: DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] TOC: DATA BASE for Advances in Information Systems Datum: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 00:31:41 +0000 Von: Andrew Schwarz <aschwarz(a)lsu.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> In the February, 2014 issue of /The DataBase for Advances in Information Systems/, we have three great papers with a diverse set of topics, covering measurement, social media, and cyber security. All of these are relevant in particular today as our field comes to grips with assessing ever more complex phenomena, evaluating the influence of near-ubiquitous networks on how we interact, and how we can secure the systems upon which society depends to an ever-greater extent. In /Don't Mind the GAP: A Conceptual and Psychometric Analysis of the Individual Evaluation of Discrepancies in the Context of IS User Service Satisfaction/, Chin, Junglas, Schwarz and Sundie present a psychometric analysis of the various measures available to capture perceived discrepancies or gaps, which are relevant when researchers are interested in capturing perceived discrepancies (e.g. as pertains to the perceived alignment between organizational and business-unit strategies, or the perceived gap between expected and received service delivery). More specifically, a set of comparative survey-based measures, drawn from published research across various disciplines, including marketing, information systems, and organizational behavior, are examined for their applicability. The paper contributes to the work on perceived discrepancies by empirically assessing both the current approaches, as well as multiple new measurement approaches. Findings suggest that neglecting to attend to the conceptual underpinnings of a discrepancy measure can lead to model misspecifications and misinterpretations. Appleford, Bottum and Thatcher offer their manuscript, /Understanding the Social Web: Towards Defining an Interdisciplinary Research Agenda for Information Systems/, in which they identify issues that must be considered by Information Systems scholars interested in helping to build a rich, interdisciplinary community to support applied research into the impact of the social web. They describe challenges and opportunities presented by the social web for Information Systems research and assert that an interdisciplinary approach may address the challenges of pursuing research questions about ephemeral social web phenomena. By creating communities of practice that bring together faculty, IT professionals, and students from a wide range of disciplinary and professional perspectives scholars may realize new opportunities for behavioral, design science, business intelligence, and IS strategy research. Finally, many are familiar with so-called Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. For those who are not, there are two things you should know. First, they are the heart of many industrial and utility control systems, which means they controls things such as delivery of natural gas and electricity, or in one case the speed of centrifuges in a nuclear power plant. As these systems are moved more and more online (e.g. the planned "Smart Grid"), vulnerabilities may be more readily exploited, and given what they control this could be problematic. Second, the nature of these systems means that they have special considerations that should be taken into account for securing them. In /Evaluation of Security Solutions in the SCADA Environment/, Larkin, Lopez, Butts and Grimaila examine the employment of traditional IT security mechanisms for SCADA systems. They provide a discussion of considerations that should be evaluated prior to deploying security controls to mitigate negative impacts on operations. A case study is provided that evaluates a host-based intrusion detection system and a petrochemical fuels management SCADA system. We hope you find the articles as interesting as we did. As always, we invite you to consider submitting your best work to /The DataBase for Advances in Information Systems/.

Social networks model how people communicate, coordinate, cooperate, and develop professional relationships, which are critical activities for a software development project. Bringing social networks to the foreground of software development practice brings a focus to its stakeholders, including developers, their managers, their support staff, QA analysts, requirement engineers, and even end users. Social networks include investigation of both the social organization of the work as well as the technical information infrastructures. The concept also helps explore the notion of network-centric organizations that are required to deal with socio-technical dependencies -- including handling the relations and connections between complex software code, systems and subsystems, requirement and specification documents, etc. The structure of the social organization often dictates the technical structure of the product, as stated in Conway's Law, and is a topic of ongoing research. Researchers are investigating the interplay of complex interdependencies among technical artifacts and the people who create and maintain these artifacts. Others have examined the relationships between the stakeholders based on qualitative studies and have been developing software tools to support awareness and trust in global software development. As a last example, researchers have been studying the effects of companies moving from hierarchical to network-centric ways of organizing the work and looking to leverage expertise within companies. However, the roles and practices involved with social networks within software development as well as the technical challenges of social network technologies within software development are yet to be further explored. Thus, we seek submissions that employ the concept of social networks either in studying software development from an empirical approach or use the concept as a central basis for developing software tool support, or do both! We seek submissions that investigate how social network technologies are currently being enacted by software development practitioners, and how the technology-in-use practices emerges. Current research on social network in software engineering is spread across a diverse set of research subareas, and we want to bring in this diverse set of approaches into this special issue. We encourage authors to specifically discuss the definition and background of their particular use of social networks in their work, as well as how the concept was beneficial for exploring software development practices and/or how designing collaborative technologies for software development. *SCOPE & TOPICS OF INTEREST* Topics include but are not limited to the following: - Data mining for social networks in software repositories - Understanding software evolution from a social network perspective - Social network analysis for enhancing specific aspects of software engineering, such as bug prediction, expert recommendation, etc. - Tools for supporting researchers and practitioners in analyzing social networks in software projects and ecosystems - Socio-technical networks in software development - Enactment of social networks in software development - Communication practices in social networks in software development - Coordination practices and organization structure as they relate to social network - Information and knowledge sharing in social networks - Interactions between awareness, visualization, and social networks - The role of trust in software development as enacted in social networks - Social networks analysis in open source software projects and ecosystems - Large scale analysis of social networks in software ecosystems - Patterns and anti-patterns in social networks in software development - New requirements for supporting social network infrastructure, such as middleware, frameworks, and cloud computing environments - Technologies-in-use practices of social network within software development organizations *SUBMISSION* Manuscripts are submitted online as described in http://www.jisajournal.com/manuscript. JISA is an international Open Access journal from SpringerOpen. So far, JISA papers have had a relative high impact (http://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=1869-0238&tip=iss). It adopts the Open Access policy, allowing free access to the papers. Several bases index the journal, such as SCOPUS, INSPEC, Academic OneFile, DBLP, DOAJ, EI-Compendex, OCLC, SCImago, and Summon by Serial Solutions. There is no minimum or maximum length imposed on papers. However, reviewers will weigh the contribution of a paper relative to its length. Papers should report research thoroughly but succinctly. A typical length is around 15 pages in the Springer template format. Papers whose length is incommensurate with their contribution may be rejected. There will be two independent cycles of submissions. The journal will publish the papers as soon as they are ready, thus the authors can choose in which one they want to participate. *- Deadline for submissions:* July 1 or October 1, 2014. *- Author's notifications:* September 19 or December 8, 2014. *Questions?* If you have any questions about the suitability of your manuscript or any other query related to this call do not hesitate to contact the theme editors. Some of them will be available at the ACM CSCW 2014 Workshop 11 "Global Software Development in a CSCW Perspective" or during the conference to discuss possible submissions.

Mary Tate, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand mary.tate(a)vuw.ac.nz* *. Elfi Furtmueller, Austrian Science Foundation elfi.furtmueller(a)amc.or.at* *.

Joerg Evermann, Memorial University of Newfoundland jevermann(a)mun.ca <mailto:jevermann@mun.ca>* ** *A review of past literature is a crucial endeavour for any academic research. An effective literature review can serve multiple purposes; methodologically analyze and synthesize quality literature; provide a firm foundation for a research topic and the selection of research methodology; demonstrate that the proposed research contributes something new to the overall body of knowledge or advances the research field's knowledge base, and when relevant- propose a research agenda for the topic under investigation. With all these important target outcomes, clear guidelines and support processes are crucial for a comprehensive and accurate literature review. These may vary depending on the nature and purpose of the literature review. In addition, large, complex, contradictory, or heterogeneous literatures may need a more sophisticated treatment than the traditional "narrative synthesis". While the importance of literature studies in the IS discipline is well recognized, little attention has been paid to the underlying structure and range of methods for conducting effective literature reviews.* *It has been said that the narrative literature review popular in Information Systems research suffers from "the god trick" of "seeing everything from nowhere"; is subjective, such that two researchers may arrive at different conclusions based on the same general body of literature; and is backward looking, aimed at identifying "gaps" in previous literature with a view to suggesting hypotheses or propositions, rather than opening up new research questions or new areas of enquiry. There are also risks in our current approach which include: that predominantly subjective, narrative-based reviews are ineffective in building a genuinely cumulative tradition, with knowledge "piling up" rather than "building up"; and that valuable empirical knowledge can be "trapped" (for example, in case studies) in forms that make it difficult to extract and accumulate. * *Our objectives in creating this special issue or section are to offer alternative perspectives, approaches, and techniques for analyzing and presenting research literature, AND to show how literature analysis techniques can be used to accumulate disciplinary knowledge, generate new research questions, and suggest new lines of research, as well as supporting the development of propositions and hypotheses. We are soliciting papers from all research perspectives. Note that this call does not include literature reviews in a particular subject area, unless the approach taken is novel and interesting. * *Articles may adopt quantitative or qualitative approaches and use a range of perspectives, methods or techniques. Articles may address the whole life-cycle of a literature review from conceptualization through selection, analysis and presentation; or may offer insights that are specific to only one phase of the life-cycle. Both conceptual/theoretical articles, and applied/tutorial articles are welcome. We specifically invite submissions in the following areas. * *Submissions to LRiIS Research* .*Perspectives, methods, approaches or practices for conducting or presenting literature. These may include, but are not limited to: hermeneutics, soft systems analysis, grounded theory, historical perspectives, revisionist approaches, ontologies, stylized facts, case surveys, or other novel perspectives and methods. * .*Tutorials related to LRiIS, for example, tutorials in conducting meta-analysis, in-depth tool supported content analysis, Bayesian analysis, or other tool support * .*Workshop and Panel discussions and proceedings related to LRiIS* *Indicative timeline* *12 December 2013 First call for papers* *28 February 2014 Paper submission* *1 April 2014 Author notification -- first round* *1 August 2014 Author revisions due* *1 September 2014 Author notification -- second round* *1 October 2014 Author revisions due* *1 November 2014 Camera ready* ** *To be considered for publication, papers must be submitted electronically by February 28, 2014. Papers that pass the initial screening will undergo no more than two rounds of revision. Papers not accepted by the end of the second round of revision will be rejected. Please contact the guest editors if you have any questions about the suitability of your manuscript. *

Leon Zhao, City University of Hong Kong, China (jlzhao(a)cityu.edu.hk) Submission deadline: October 1, 2014 We need to develop and enhance analytic methods appropriate for big data that challenge the current corporate infrastructure in terms of data volume, data variety, data change velocity and veracity. We need fundamental research on how big data and big data analytics are likely to impact management structures and processes, organizations, and society. From the firm perspective, key questions include optimal collection, management, integration, analysis and exploitation of big data. From the individual perspective, issues include privacy and ethical use as compared to benefits from personalization. From the government perspective, issues related to privacy, protection of individual rights, and national security all arise as big data collection and analytics expand. What links the challenges together are the fundamental underlying questions on how IS techniques, processes, and controls can help address the various research issues. We organize the special issue not by perspectives, but by the following four key topic areas, each of which cuts across multiple perspectives, with the understanding that IS is at the heart of successfully addressing each issue: • Area 1: Techniques, processes, and methods for collecting and analyzing big data • Area 2: Impact of big data availability and analytics on IS and information governance • Area 3: Privacy, rights, and security • Area 4: New applications To view the full Call for Papers, go to the MIS Quarterly website at http://www.misq.org _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
