Big data analytics is currently generating tremendous fascination worldwide. This trend is largely driven by the pervasive diffusion and adoption of mobile devices, social media tools, and the Internet of Things (IoT) or Web of Things (WoT) due to RFID and other RF-related tracking and sensor devices. The IoT allows the possibility of tracking and tracing any tagged mobile object as it moves through the value chain thus producing unprecedented end-to-end supply chain visibility. This creates tremendous opportunities for operational and strategic benefits. However, the effective management of this new visibility for improved decision making requires the combination and analysis of data from item-level identification using RFID, sensors, satellites, social media feeds, photos, video and cell phone GPS signals; in short, big data analytics. While the IoT and big data analytics have tremendous potential for transforming various industries, many scholars and practitioners are struggling to understand these concepts and capture the business value from combining the IoT and big data analytics. In addition, very few empirical studies have been conducted to assess the real potential of the IoT and big data analytics. We encourage authors to share new and interesting theoretical and methodological perspectives on topics relevant to both academic researchers and practitioners. We welcome work-in-progress that examines existing and extended theory using the IoT and big data analytics as the technologies of focus and case studies of organizations implementing the IoT and big data analytics inside and outside their span of control. We give special consideration to research submissions when the author(s) commit to include an industry partner in their presentation. We welcome research that reflects a range of current research methods including case studies, analytical models, econometrics, and frameworks. The following areas are suggestive of the range of topics that are considered suitable: vDetailed case studies of the IoT and big data analytics implementation and usage vMethods for developing the business case for the IoT and big data analytics adoption vForecasting the technical evolution of the IoT and big data analytics and their combined relationship to the economics of usage vImpact of data-driven organizations using data from RF-related tracking and sensor devices on decision making vIoT and big data-enabled e-commerce business models vIoT and big data-enabled enterprise and network transformation vIoT and big data-enabled supply chain management (SCM) vIoT and big data-enabled customer relationship management (CRM) vIoT and big data for industry-wide transformation vTechnical integration of the IoT and big data analytics tools with other applications vUnderstanding the technical capabilities and limitations of the IoT and big data analytics vAligning inter-organizational governance, incentives, and ownership when the visibility in the supply chain is increased vSafeguarding security and privacy in an environment of the IoT and big data analytics vMathematical properties of data analytics methods and statistical techniques Minitrack Co-Chairs Fred Riggins (Primary Contact) Accounting, Finance and MIS Dept College of Business North Dakota State University Fargo, ND 58108-6050 Tel: (701) 231-5102 Fax: (701) 231-6545 fred.riggins(a)ndsu.edu<mailto:fred.riggins@ndsu.edu <mailto:fred.riggins@ndsu.edu%3cmailto:fred.riggins@ndsu.edu>> Samuel Fosso Wamba Information Systems Department NEOMA Business School 1 Rue du Marechal Juin BP 215, 76825 Mont Saint Aignan Cedex samuel.fosso.wamba(a)neoma-bs.fr<mailto:samuel.fosso.wamba@neoma-bs.fr <mailto:samuel.fosso.wamba@neoma-bs.fr%3cmailto:samuel.fosso.wamba@neoma-bs.fr>> Matthias Dehmer Institute for Bioinformatics and Translational Research UMIT - The Health and Lifesciences University Tyrol, Austria Tel: +43 (0)50 8648 3851 matthias.dehmer(a)umit.at<mailto:matthias.dehmer@umit.at <mailto:matthias.dehmer@umit.at%3cmailto:matthias.dehmer@umit.at>> SUBMISSION PROCESS BY AUTHORS 2014 Dates June 15: Submit full manuscripts for review.

Globalization and economic dynamics have forced individuals, institutions,and organizations to search for new ways to strengthen their competitive advantages. Improvement of learning and professional developmentfor sustainable development has been becomeas a key strategy(Cheng, Wang, Mørch, Chen, Kinshuk, & Spector,2014). In this context, it is crucial to help adult learners in educational institutions and employees in variousworkplacesettingsto improve their self-directed and life-long learning capabilities. Further, learning in this context has expanded from individual to organizational and community levels with new focuses on externalization of tacit knowledge and intuition embedded in professional work, peer-driven mutual learning and sharing, and systemic retention of knowledge assets for long-term development(Rosenberg, 2012). In the meantime, advances in technology have been increasingly enabling and facilitating learning and knowledge-related initiatives by changing the way for people to access knowledge and communicatewith others. A variety oftechnology-enhanced solutions and novel approaches have been promotedin educational institutions, corporations, governments and communities. A recent review on e-learning in the workplace reported four main research themes in the field, in which e-learning in the healthcare sector was found as one of the most prolific e-learning initiatives (Cheng et al.,2014). With respect to technology, the use of various electronic media and information technologieshas largely extended learning and professional developmentopportunities. More recently, the model of Mass Open Online Courses (MOOCs) has brought unprecedented opportunities for learners to access open courses, with a high potential to support self-directed and lifelong learning than traditional models (Kay, Reimann, Diebold, & Kummerfeld, 2013). This special issueaims to provide a forum for academics and practitioners to explore issues related to use, analysis, design, and evaluation of technologies-assisted approaches to learning and professional development in variouseducational,organizational and community environment. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * e-Learning in higher education * e-Learning for continuing education * Distance education and lifelong learning * Computer-supported self-directed learning * Instructional design in e-learning * Online curriculum development * Knowledge management and e-learning * e-Learning/e-Training in organizations * Web-based corporate training * e-Learning and professional development * e-Learning and human resource development * Best practices and experiences in implementing MOOCs * Instructional design in MOOCs * Cloud computing in education * Technology in medical colleges and hospitals * Medical informatics and education * Nurse education and training We are interested in both theoretical and practical papers that aim to improve learning and human performance by applying the latest technological advances. We would like to stimulate interest in the issues across academia, practice, industry, research and policy, and therefore we welcome focused papers from all sectors. *_Important Dates_*_**_ Submission due: 15thJun 2014 Notification of acceptance: 28thJul 2014 Publication schedule: Sep 2014 ** *_Submission Instructions_*__ Electronic submission by email to Guest Editorsis required(magwang(a)hku.hk <mailto:magwang@hku.hk>).

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] HICSS 2015 CFP: Design and Innovation of Social Networking Services Minitrack, January 5-8, 2015, Grand Hyatt, Kauai, Hawaii Datum: Sat, 5 Apr 2014 18:27:56 -1000 Von: Bo Xiao <boxiao(a)hawaii.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, HICSS-48 2015 Minitrack: Design and Innovation of Social Networking Services (Collaboration Systems and Technology track) *INTRODUCTION* Social networks are computer-mediated communities whose members share common interests, needs or purposes. Consequently, most, if not all, of the content, companionship and entertainment accessible from social networks are dependent on the voluntary contributions of members. Unlike formalized relationships however, social networks exercise little authority and control over the behavior of members. For social networks to prosper, they must therefore be proactive in delivering innovative and value-added services that facilitate members in generating novel content, maintaining community cohesion as well as providing advice and mutual support to one another in times of need. Social networking services embody both social and technical elements that shape how members interact with one another. Whereas social elements reflect communal policies that dictate the participatory behaviors of members in social networks, technical elements refer to actual technological functionalities, which support the enactment and enforcement of these policies. The *design* and *innovation* of social networking services thus play an instrumental role in determining members? participation within such communities. This minitrack embraces both retrospective and progressive views of how social networking services have evolved and would transform with technological advances. We welcome papers that identify and address knowledge gaps in the design and innovation of social networking services in response to emergent technologies. Papers that subscribe to inter-disciplinary perspectives and/or adopt mixed methods are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: -- Big data analytics in social networking services -- Business intelligence in social networking services -- Cloud computing services in social networks -- Context awareness in social networking services -- Collaborative services for social shopping networks -- Digital service innovation in social networks -- Digital service ecosystem in social networks -- Failure and recovery of social networking services -- Hedonic design of social networking services -- Human-computer interaction in social networking services -- Mobility in social networking services -- Performance evaluation of social networking services -- Privacy and security in social networking services -- Service analytics in social networks -- Service logic in social networks -- Service quality in social networks -- Value creating services in social networks -- Virality and social networking services -- Web 2.0 and social networking services *MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS* Bo Sophia Xiao Information Technology Management Department Shidler College of Business University of Hawai?i at M?noa Honolulu, HI, USA Tel: +1 (808) 956-7368 <tel:%2B1%20%28808%29%20956-7368> Fax: +1 (808) 956-9889 Email: boxiao(a)hawaii.edu <mailto:boxiao@hawaii.edu> Website: http://shidler.hawaii.edu/directory/bo-sophia-xiao/itm Eric Lim School of Information Systems, Technology and Management Australian School of Business University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia Tel: +61 (2) 9385-4688 Fax: +61 (2) 9662-4061 Email: e.t.lim(a)unsw.edu.au <mailto:e.t.lim@unsw.edu.au> Website: http://www.asb.unsw.edu.au/schools/Pages/eric-t-k-lim.aspx Chee-Wee Tan Department of IT Management Copenhagen Business School Frederiksberg, Copenhagen, Denmark Tel: +45 3815-4460 Email: cta.itm(a)cbs.dk <mailto:cta.itm@cbs.dk> Website: http://www.cbs.dk/en/staff/ctaitm *INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PAPERS:* 1.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call For Papers: WICSOC '14 : Social Media, Crowdsourcing, and Public Health Datum: Sun, 6 Apr 2014 02:41:19 -0400 Von: Mohd Anwar <susmanlab(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Call for Papers: WICSOC 2014 - Social Media, Crowdsourcing, and Public Health* San Francisco, USA, August 13, 2014 Program co-Chairs: Mohd Anwar, North Carolina A&T State University and Bernard Fuemmeler, Duke University Medical Center The 3rd International Workshop on Issues and Challenges in Social Computing (WICSOC 2014) will take place in conjunction withIEEE IRI 2014, August 13th -15th. The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange ideas on the opportunities and challenges in social computing systems as they relate to healthcare and public health. We invite papers from researchers and practitioners working in any aspect of social computing with research focus on health, healthcare, or public health. Social Computing Technologies (SCT) offers users opportunities for connectedness, participation, engagement, collaboration, and opportunities for offering/receiving social support. These applications/systems gather abundance of information that when mined and analyzed will further enrich their services or help researchers understand many different things including social dynamics of people, wisdom of crowd, social construction and sharing of knowledge, etc. As a result, SCT can be leveraged to empower both health professional and citizens. Online Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, QuitNet are increasingly being used for health-related purposes. A 2013 online survey suggests that 59.9% patients used Twitter for increasing knowledge and exchanging advice and 52.3% used Facebook for social support and exchanging advice. Novel techniques for information analysis, reuse, and integration are critical to make sense of health- related information. Systematic approaches, design principles, and evaluation strategies need to be researched for developing effective health-related social computing applications. Other challenges in social computing include accommodating privacy, security, and trust expectations of users or separating good information from noise. We invite research or position papers from researchers and practitioners working in any aspect of social computing with research focus on health, healthcare, or public health. *Example topics*, but not limited to, include: . Design, modeling, and simulation of socially aware health technology . Demonstration cases of using existing social media platforms (e.g., twitter, facebook) for health research . Social network analysis for the purpose of understanding or intervening upon health related outcomes . Behavioral intervention implemented through social media platforms . Disease & health management using social media applications . Crowdsourcing health or biomedical research . Public health resource sensing or crowdsourcing of public health resources . In-time, in-place healthcare information through social media . Design and evaluation of online patient communities with social network features . Healthcare/mHealth Social Networks .

-------- Original-Nachricht ------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP - IEEE International Workshop on Capability-oriented Business Informatics Datum: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 10:41:16 +0300 Von: Xristina Str <xristinastrathgakh(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org CoBI -- IEEE International Workshop on Capability-oriented Business Informatics (Workshop site: http://cobi2014.blogs.dsv.su.se) in association with the 16th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (IEEE CBI 2014 -- http://cbi2014.unige.ch/) Workshop Call The business environments of today are changing rapidly, entailing complex and dynamic organisational constellations. Enterprises operating in these conditions need to have the capability to deliver their services in a variety of business contexts with sustainable quality and moreover to leverage them to competitive advantage. Capability is gaining presence in the context of business-IT alignment, in the specification and design of services using business planning as the baseline, in Enterprise Architecture, and in Service Oriented Architecture. However, the knowledge, role and the usage of enterprise capabilities in the named disciplines in terms of people competencies and the capacity of the resources, are unclear and open to different interpretations. How to utilize "capability" knowledge in enterprise modelling and architectures as a foundation for sustainable Information System planning and management in the presence of varying social and business contexts is likely to yield substantial results in both research and practice in years to come. We encourage the original research contributions exploring the challenges and solutions related to the meaning and usage of capability in Business Informatics, as well as industrial case studies illustrating the use of this notion. The topics are among but not limited to: .The role of capability-based modeling for improving Enterprise Modeling .Capability driven-based methods for Business Process Engineering .Capabilities for service innovation .Capability-driven service composition .Capability-driven cloud management .Technology support for capability-based tools in Business IT .The effects of capability on organizational transformation .Management issues related to capability .Transferring capability knowledge from other domains to IS engineering .Case studies in capability use Organization CoBI 2014 is the one-day workshop organized in conjunction with the 16th IEEE Conference on Business Informatics in Geneva, Switzerland.

The integration of sensor networks and cloud computing play a vital role in the advancement of modern sensor technology with the strength of cloud computing. The aim of sensor cloud (SC) is to make the sensed and processed data accessible from distributed networks. With sensor clouds, large-scale data can be collected, processed, and shared among multiple networks. Sensor cloud raises many research and practical challenges such as event processing and management, real time data processing, large scale computing infrastructure and frameworks, and harvesting collective intelligence. All accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line. Procedia Computer Sciences is hosted on www.Elsevier.com and on Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect (http://www.sciencedirect.com), and will be freely available worldwide. All papers in Procedia will also be indexed by Scopus (http://www.scopus.com) and Engineering Village (Ei) ( http://www.engineeringvillage.com). This includes EI Compendex ( http://www.ei.org/compendex). All accepted papers will also be indexed in DBLP (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/). The goal of SC 2013 workshop is to bring together multi-disciplinary researchers, professionals and practitioners from academia and industry who are involved in the fields of both wireless sensor networks and cloud computing areas to discuss recent advances and innovative ideas in these fields. SC workshop solicits papers on either completed or ongoing research in the following and related topics of interests include (but not limited to): * Mobility in Sensor Clouds * Monitoring techniques/mechanism for Sensor-Cloud infrastructure * Performance management of sensor in cloud (Algorithms and protocols) * Platform to manage sensory data in clouds (e.g. Hadoop, Pig, Mapreduce, Hive and HDFS). * Provisioning of virtual sensor in cloud * Reliability issues, Service Level Agreement (SLA) and QoS guarantees for sensing technologies for clouds * Security in Sensor Clouds * Sensor Cloud enabled applications (e.g., Health-care, Traffic management, Weather monitoring and Surveillance) * Sensor Cloud Intelligence * Sensor Cloud management (Aggregation, Enablement, Interoperability and Resource management) * Sensor Cloud vision: Case-studies, Challenges, Lesson-learnt and Opportunities * Smart tags, location aware remote sensing and RFID as Services (Raas) in clouds * Standardization mechanism/functions for Sensor Cloud For further details, please see website at: https://sites.google.com/site/scloudeuspn/.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] AAI Short Course - 'Behaviour Analytics - an Introduction' - Wednesday 23 April 2014 Datum: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 13:34:00 +1100 Von: Colin Wise <Colin.Wise(a)uts.edu.au> Dear Colleague, *AAI Short Course -- 'Behaviour Analytics -- an Introduction' -- Wednesday 23 April 2014* *https://shortcourses-bookings.uts.edu.au/ClientView/Schedules/ScheduleDetail.aspx?ScheduleID=1572&EventID=1294 * ** Our AAI short course 'Behaviour Analytics -- an Introduction' may be of interest to you and or others in your organisation or network. Complex behaviours are widely seen on the internet, business, social and online networks, and multi-agent systems. In fact, behaviour is a concept with stronger semantic meaning than the so-called data for recording and representing business activities, impacts and dynamics. Therefore, an in-depth understanding of complex behaviours has been increasingly recognised as a crucial means for disclosing interior driving forces, causes and impact on businesses in handling many challenging issues. This forms the need and emergence of behaviour analytics, i.e. understanding behaviours from the computing perspective. In this short course, we present an overview of behaviour analytics and discuss complex behaviour interactions and relationships, complex behaviour representation, behavioural feature construction, behaviour impact and utility analysis, behaviour pattern analysis, exceptional behaviour analysis, negative behaviour analysis, behaviour interaction and evolution. Please register here https://shortcourses-bookings.uts.edu.au/ClientView/Schedules/ScheduleDetai… An important foundation short course in the AAI series of advanced data analytic short courses -- please view this short course and others herehttp://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/advanced-analytics-institute/short-courses/upcoming-courses We are happy to discuss at your convenience.
