-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] File Drawer Paper Request Datum: Tue, 04 Mar 2014 07:23:30 -0600 Von: christie <cfuller(a)latech.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Colleagues, I would like to request your help in gathering unpublished papers you have authored which meet one or both of two simple criteria: 1.The paper employed a marker variable approach (i.e., Lindell & Whitney's correlational marker technique or Williams and colleagues' CFA marker technique) for the purpose of identifying or controlling for CMV in substantive relationships. 2.The paper includes one or more explicit measures of potential CMV causes (e.g., social desirability, affectivity, or response styles such as (dis)acquiescence, mid-point responding, or extreme responding) used explicitly for the purpose of identifying or controlling for CMV in substantive relationships. In both cases, we are specifically seeking papers that have not been published in a refereed journal. We thus hope to obtain papers that either have not been submitted or were rejected by a refereed journal. Research that was presented at a conference or dissertation work that was not submitted to a journal is likewise of interest. Thank you for your assistance, -- Christie Fuller, PhD Thomas O'Kelly Mitchiner Assistant Professor of Computer Information Systems School of Accountancy and Information Systems Louisiana Tech University (318) 257 4011

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Cfp AIS SIGPrag workshop on IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Improvement Datum: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 13:58:13 +0000 Von: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> */Call for Papers /* */The 3rd international SIGPrag workshop on ?IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Improvement? /**/ADWI-2014 www.vits.org/adwi2014/ <http://www.vits.org/adwi2014/>/**//* */June 2, 2014, Zeppelin University, Friedrichshafen, Germany/* *Background ? pragmatic perspectives* There have been many calls in the information systems (IS) community for a stronger pragmatic focus. This can be seen in a growing interest for research approaches and methods in IS that emphasise contribution to practice and collaboration between the practice and academia. Action research, which aims for knowledge development through collaboration and intervention in real settings, is achieving more and more academic credibility (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Davison et al, 2004). This can also be said about design research that aims for the generation of new and useful artefacts (Hevner et al, 2004; Gregor & Jones, 2007). Research through evaluation has had a long and venerable place in IS research (Ward et, 1996; Serafeimidis & Smithson, 2003). Several approaches and frameworks that combine or integrate elements from the above-mentioned approaches have also emerged, e.g. practice research (Goldkuhl, 2011), collaborative practice research (Mathiassen, 2002), practical science (Gregor, 2008), engaged scholarship (Mathiassen & Nielsen, 2008), action design research (Sein et al, 2011) and technical action research (Wieringa & Morali, 2012). Underlying these different approaches is a quest for practical relevance of the conducted research (Benbasat & Zmud, 1999; Van de Ven, 2007; Wieringa, 2010). It is not enough to only ?mirror? the world through descriptions and explanations but a pragmatic orientation recognizes intervention and design as a way of knowing and a means for building knowledge about social and institutional phenomena (Aakhus, 2007). There is a need for knowledge of other epistemic kinds that contributes more clearly to the improvement of IS practices. A pragmatic orientation can also be seen in the increasing interest in the conceptualisation of practices, activities, agency and actions. Practice theorizing has gained an increased attention in IS studies (Orlikowski, 2008; Leonardi, 2011). There has been an interest for agency and action oriented theories in IS for quite some time; e.g. activity theory (Nardi, 1996), structuration theory (Orlikowski, 1992), social action theorizing (Hirschheim et al, 1996), human agency theorizing (Boudreau & Robey, 2005) and language action perspective (Winograd & Flores, 1986). From this follows also an interest for social and pragmatic views of the IT artefact (Aakhus & Jackson, 2005). This includes views of the IT artefact as contextually embedded and carriers of those social contexts (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001) and such artefacts being tools for action and communication (Ågerfalk, 2003; Markus & Silver, 2008). Design research practice and the contributions to practice through appropriation of knowledge and methods and the contributions to academia through knowledge artefacts has been discussed (Donnellan, Sjöström, Helfert, 2012). This enhanced practice and action orientation follows a growing awareness within IS scholars towards pragmatism as a research foundation (e.g. Goles & Hirschheim, 2000; Ågerfalk, 2010; Goldkuhl, 2012). It is not the case that IS scholars suddenly become pragmatists in their research orientation. It is rather the case that there is move from an implicit pragmatism to an explicit one (Goldkuhl, 2012). For a long time IS scholars have addressed practical problems with an interest for improvement. That interest has led to the extensive development of methods, models and constructive frameworks for not only the design of IT artefacts, but also related to several other IS/IT phenomena likee.g. innovation management, business process management, project management, IT service management just to mention a few. These methods actually reveal an on-going search for knowledge of other epistemic kinds for advancing understanding of information technology, information systems, and practice. *Workshop site and purpose * After the success of the two ADWI workshops in 2012 and 2013, it is now time for a third workshop on /IT Artefact Design & Workpractice Improvement/ (ADWI-2014). ADWI-2012 (www.vits.org/adwi/) was run in Barcelona in June 2012 and ADWI-2013 (www.vits.org/adwi2013/) was run in Tilburg in June 2013. ADWI-2014 will take place on June 2. ADWI-2014 will take place in Friedrichshafen (Germany) at the Zeppelin University located at the Lake Constance in the three nation triangle consisting of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. ADWI-2014 intends to bring scholars and practitioners together for a knowledge exchange and development on research foundations and practical contributions concerning the design and improvement of IT artefacts and workpractices. The ADWI workshop is intended to be a developmental arena with thoughtful and constructive feedback from reviews and comments on site. ADWI should be a place where you can present ideas in papers and get fruitful feedback for further development of the papers. A developmental arena means also taking responsibility for pushing contributions further to high-quality journal publications. From the last two workshops (ADWI-2012 and ADWI-2013) several papers have been pushed further into special issues in the open access journal Systems, Signs & Actions. At least one special issue will be arranged in Systems, Signs & Actions inviting promising papers from ADWI-2014. The theme will be decided on later. We will possibly also work with some other outlet for another special issue. This depends on the outcome of the workshop. *Topics* The workshop can include papers from diverse fields of IS. We do not try to enumerate such fields below; we only present four broad topic areas (as three main pragmatic orientations). We invite papers to ADWI-2014 in the following areas: ·The design, selection, adaptation and use of /research methods/ and /approaches/ that emphasise improvement of, collaboration with and intervention in IS practices (e.g. approaches like action research, design research, evaluation research, practice research, engaged scholarship). ·The generation and use of /practice, activity, agency, action oriented theories/ (or other types of knowledge) about IS phenomena. ·Different kinds of /knowledge/(e.g. practical theories, frameworks, models, methods) /that contribute to the improvement of IS practices/. This includes examples of such knowledgefrom improvement, which can be taken from diverse IS fields. ·Application of knowledge that can assist to innovate and improve practices in enterprises (case studies, solutions, organizational experiences). An information system is always an embedded part of some practice. It is never an isolated entity without relations to social practices. The notion ?IS practice?, which is used in the topics above, stands for diverse IS related practices like e.g. strategizing, development, procurement, deployment, use, evaluation and service management of IS/IT. *Dates and submission details * /Submissions/: March 21, 2014 /Notification/: May 1, 2014 /Final manuscripts/: May 27, 2014 /Workshop/: June 2, 2014, Zeppelin University, Friedrichshafen, Germany The workshop website is www.vits.org/adwi2014/ <http://www.vits.org/adwi2014/>.

Regards San Prof San Murugesan ---------------------------------------------------------- *Creating Smart Managerial Dashboards** */Cutter IT Journal <http://www.cutter.com/itjournal.html>/ **Abstract Submission Date:**open * **Articles Due:*15 April 2014 **Guidelines for Contributors <http://www.cutter.com/content-and-analysis/journals-and-reports/cutter-it-j…> * http://www.cutter.com/content-and-analysis/journals-and-reports/cutter-it-j… In "*Making Managerial Dashboards Meaningful <http://www.cutter.com/itjournal/fulltext/2013/01/index.html>"* (/Cutter IT Journal/, January 2013), the authors discussed the criteria and measures a dashboard needed to provide managers with reliable key performance indicators. All agreed on the need to choose carefully both the data displayed and the type of visualization to use. The "right" data, the "right" visualization, and the alignment of the data to the business goals supporting the dashboard user are necessary to support better decision making. In an upcoming issue of /Cutter IT Journal/we will take this one step further by exploring the creation of "Smart Dashboards" -- ones that will provide even more intelligence and that "go beyond" the capabilities of current dashboards. We use the term "Smart" as in smart phone to describe what we mean by "going beyond". Smart phones are "smart" because they seem to be somehow intelligent. They know where we are and can recommend a restaurant nearby. They find out where we work and inform us about the traffic along our route. They can answer questions like: "what will the weather be tomorrow?" and so on. We envision a Smart Dashboard that will determine what information to display based on changes to any available, real-time, or historic data. This information could then be delivered to a smart device for business executives to monitor key business indicators and make decisions the moment they need it. *This issue of **/Cutter IT Journal/**seeks insight on how a new era of Smart Dashboards can provide business executives with the real-time insight they need to be more agile and efficient in their decision making process. *Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following: ·What type of data should a Smart Dashboard provide? How can this data/knowledge be collected, elaborated, and displayed? ·What are the challenges of creating Smart Dashboards? ·What kind of security measures need to be considered? ·Which contextual factors (such as the location in a phone) should dashboards consider and how should these contextual factors be combined with traditional information to provide more value to its users? ·Which concrete features should a Smart Dashboard provide that are not currently being provided? How can they be implemented? ·How can we ensure that the users trust what the Smart Dashboard displays? ·How can we ensure that the dashboard does not become "too smart", i.e., does things that the users do not want? *TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE IDEA* Please respond to Giancarlo Succi at gsucci[at]cutter[dot]com, with a copy to cgenerali[at]cutter[dot]com and include an extended abstract and a short article outline showing major discussion points. *ARTICLE DEADLINE* Accepted articles are due by *15 April 2014*. *EDITORIAL GUIDELINES* Most /Cutter IT Journal/articles are approximately 2,500-3,000 words long, plus whatever graphics are appropriate. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact CITJ's Group Publisher, Christine Generali at cgenerali[at]cutter[dot]com or the Guest Editor, Giancarlo Succi at gsucci[at]cutter[dot]com. See the editorial guidelines <http://www.cutter.com/content-and-analysis/journals-and-reports/cutter-it-j…>. Important Note: When you submit an article to Cutter Consortium, you warrant that you (or your employer) are the sole owner of the article and that you have full power and authority to copyright it and publish it. Also, the article you submit to Cutter must be an original; not previously published elsewhere. *AUDIENCE* Typical readers of /Cutter IT Journal/range from CIOs and vice presidents of software organizations to IT managers, directors, project leaders, and very senior technical staff. Most work in fairly large organizations: Fortune 500 IT shops, large computer vendors (IBM, HP, etc.), and government agencies. 48% of our readership is outside of the US (15% from Canada, 14% Europe, 5% Australia/NZ, 14% elsewhere). Please avoid introductory-level, tutorial coverage of a topic. Assume you're writing for someone who has been in the industry for 10 to 20 years, is very busy, and very impatient. Assume he or she will be asking, "What's the point? What do I do with this information?" Apply the "So what?" test to everything you write. *PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES* We are pleased to offer Journal authors a year's complimentary subscription and five copies of the issue in which they are published. In addition, we occasionally pull excerpts, along with the author's bio, to include in our weekly Cutter Edge e-mail bulletin, which reaches another 8,000 readers. We'd also be pleased to quote you, or passages from your article, in Cutter press releases. If you plan to be speaking at industry conferences, we can arrange to make copies of your article or the entire issue available for attendees of those speaking engagements -- furthering your own promotional efforts. *ABOUT CUTTER IT JOURNAL* No other journal brings together so many cutting-edge thinkers, and lets them speak so bluntly and frankly. We strive to maintain the Journal's reputation as the "Harvard Business Review of IT." Our goal is to present well-grounded opinion (based on real, accountable experiences), research, and animated debate about each topic the Journal explores. *PLEASE FORWARD THIS CALL FOR PAPERS TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE AN APPROPRIATE SUBMISSION.* ---------------------

To catch up with this rapidly emerging trend, research is needed to address issues such as, how can organizations, both private and public, leverage on the unique capabilities of mobile technologies to serve their customers? What should consumers do to ensure they can enjoy the benefits of mobile while at the time not troubled by its associated issues, e.g., security and privacy intrusion? What are the implications of mobile technology development to societies in terms of, e.g., work arrangement and public welfare? We invite research articles that provide insights into all aspects of mobile technologies with attention paid to issues related to their enabled services and implications at different levels (individual consumers, organizations, societies) and in different contexts (public, private). Articles of conceptual, analytical, or empirical nature, which develop or extend theory and practice, are welcome. Possible topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Theory of mobile technologies and services - Mobile applications and business models - Consumer behaviors in the mobile context - Mobile social networking services - Strategies and policies in exploiting mobile capabilities - Mobile targeting and personalization - Privacy and security issues of mobile applications - Mobile gaming - Mobile payment - Design issues related to mobile devices and applications - Social, political, and legal implications of mobile technologies and services A number of high quality journals have agreed to collaborate with PACIS 2014 by fast tracking to special issues, including Communications of the Association for Information Systems, Information and Management, Journal of the Associations for Information Systems.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Travel to Auckland for ICIS 2014 and Star Alliance Fare Discount Datum: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 00:56:52 +0000 Von: Michael Myers <m.myers(a)auckland.ac.nz> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear colleagues I am pleased to let you know a Star Alliance Fare Discount is now available for travel to Auckland for ICIS 2014 in December. Registered participants plus one accompanying person travelling to the event can qualify for a discount of up to 20%, depending on fare and class of travel booked. The Star Alliance member airlines have been appointed as the official Airline Network for ICIS 2014 with Air New Zealand as the lead airline. I hope this is useful for at least some of you. Further details about this are on the ICIS 2014 website at http://icis2014.aisnet.org/ <http://icis2014.aisnet.org/> As Detmar mentioned at the ICIS 2014 presentation in Milan, I encourage all of you to try to book your air travel sooner rather than later. This is because the few weeks before and immediately after Christmas are the busiest of the year with thousands of New Zealanders coming home to be with family over the Christmas break (note: we don't celebrate Thanksgiving). Hence the sooner you book, the more likely you are to get the exact dates and times you want. I look forward to seeing you in Auckland later this year. Just a reminder: December is the beginning of summer down here. Best wishes Michael *Michael D. Myers* *Professor of Information Systems and Head of Department*** Room 458, Level 4, Owen G.
