Fwd: [AISWorld] TOIS CFP: Special Issue on Contextual Search and Recommendation

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] TOIS CFP: Special Issue on Contextual Search and Recommendation Datum: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 12:20:00 -0800 Von: Yi Zhang <yiz(a)ucsc.edu> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org CALL FOR PAPERS ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) Special Issue on Contextual Search and Recommendation Submission Deadline: March 24, 2014 MOTIVATION Information systems that leverage contextual knowledge about users and their search situations-such as their histories, demographics, surroundings, constraints or devices-can provide tailored search experiences and higher-quality task outcomes. Within information retrieval, there is a growing focus on how knowledge of a user's interests, intentions, and context can improve aspects of search and recommendation such as ranking and query suggestion; especially for exploratory and/or complex tasks that can span multiple queries or search sessions. The interactions that occur during these complex tasks provide context that can be leveraged by search systems to support users' broader information-seeking activities. Next-generation recommender systems face analogous challenges, including integrating signals from user exploration to update recommendations in real time. The purpose of this special issue is to describe the state-of-the-art in contextual search and recommendation, and provide an outlet for the presentation of significant advances in these two important related areas. SCOPE & TOPICS OF INTEREST While all high-quality manuscripts focused on contextual search and recommendation will be considered, we are particularly interested in those approaches targeted at exploratory and/or complex tasks. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: o Task-oriented information search; o Contextual retrieval for complex and exploratory tasks, including tasks that persist over time; o Proactive search and recommendation of task-relevant content; o Contextual recommendation systems for exploratory tasks, especially real-time updates and human-in-the-loop systems; o Machine learning and data mining for task-oriented information search; o Evaluating task-oriented information search; o Task-awareness in mobile and situated devices, including personalization across devices and domains; o User studies of task-oriented information search (in the lab and in the wild); o Scalability issues in profile building and user privacy for task-oriented information search; o Personalized task-oriented retrieval, including short- and long-term modeling. All accepted manuscripts are expected to make a significant scientific contribution and present a rigorous evaluation of the methods they present (e.g., a comprehensive user study should accompany any new interface proposal). SUBMISSION For submission instructions, please refer to http://tois.acm.org/authors.html and add a comment in the email to the Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief that the submission is intended for the special issue on Contextual Search and Recommendation. All papers will be reviewed by three external reviewers plus at least one guest editor. SUBMISSION DEADLINE All submissions are due by March 24, 2014 GUEST EDITORS Paul N. Bennett, Microsoft Research Kevyn Collins-Thompson, University of Michigan Diane Kelly, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Ryen White, Microsoft Research Yi Zhang, University of California Santa Cruz FOR MORE INFORMATION http://tois.acm.org/announcement.html

Nowadays, it is widely recognized that the success and vitality of the service sector are essential factors in measuring an economy's progress and its future. While the service sector has grown in importance, it has not received a commensurate degree of scientific attention. Studies of the service sector tend to be generalized, lumping together a variety of important fields. It is necessary to focus on the new approaches of the service management literature, such as, the exploitation of social media and technology in value co-creation, crowdsourcing, open innovation (e.g. Akana et al., 2012; Sigala, 2012; Gottfridsson, 2012; Papastathopoulou and Hultink, 2012; Vargo et al., 2008; Prahalad and Ramaswamy, 2004). Moreover, new technologies are not only transforming service management, but they also revolutionalise our understanding of services, value creation and service innovation. In this vein, numerous theoretical and practical pressures justify the need to advance research in service management by engaging in processual theorizing [i.e. understanding the temporal dynamics of investigated phenomena in their context or multiple contexts (for example, see Langley, 1999)] as well as by employing different methodologies, perspectives and approaches. This special issue aims to publish conceptual and empirical studies that enhance our understanding of the new approaches and technologies applied to service concepts and management issues in a dynamic market environment. The special issue welcomes manuscripts that capture and investigate trends, challenges and the impacts that these collaborative technologies impose to service researchers and managers alike. We encourage manuscript submissions that follow a wide variety of research methodologies (qualitative or/and quantitative), are based on various disciplines and concentrate on various geographical and business contexts. *Topics* ** Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: * New approaches to service management * Social media, creativity and service innovation * New and collaborative technologies in service management * Value creation in virtual markets * Service ecosystems and value creation *Paper submission and review process* To be considered for publication in the special issue, manuscripts must be received by the*30 April, 2014.* Papers submitted will be subject to a double-blind peer reviewing process to ensure that this special issue maintains the excellent reputation and record of/Management Decision/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP AMCIS 2014: Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of AMCIS: Examining IS History Datum: Sat, 1 Feb 2014 04:37:17 +0000 Von: Andrew Schwarz <aschwarz(a)lsu.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Track Title: Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of AMCIS: Examining IS History 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems Smart Sustainability: The Information Systems Opportunity Savannah, GA, USA August 7-10, 2014. Deadline for paper submissions: March 1, 2014. Instructions for authors at AMCIS website: http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/ <http://amcis2014.aisnet.org/> Description This year marks the 20th anniversary of AMCIS. This anniversary presents an opportunity for us to reflect upon the evolution of our field and to document the key events that have shaped our community. We invite historical analyses of our field that examines the creation of our field and the impact of our field on people, organizations, society, and the world, including an analysis of the people and institutions involved. Potential topics to examine include: ·What should be represented in the field's history and how do we effectively disseminate this history so it becomes part of the fabric of the field? ·What were the key events that shaped the evolution of the field? And what was the impact of those events? ·What were the key intellectual debates that altered the field? And how did these debates influence our intellectual underpinnings? ·What has been the institutional role/position of IS within business schools and where should it be in the future? ·What can we learn from our success (or failure) that will shape our discipline in the future? What can we learn to benefit our discipline's future? ·What have been the origins and development of global IS communities and infrastructure? ·What have been the intellectual challenges and advances in different regions? Have we missed some sections or topics that should be part of the IS domain? We invite submission that embraces all appropriate historical methods. We hope to organize 1-2 sessions of the best papers for this track.
