IMPORTANT DATES First Submission Deadline Notification Deadline Final Submission Deadline Author Registration Deadline 1 July 2014 8 August 2014 1 September 2014 1 September 2014 CONTACT www.icegov.org <http://www.icegov.org> icegov(a)icegov.org <mailto:icegov@icegov.org> 1.INTRODUCTION As the post-2015 United Nations development agenda to guide the world community in the pursuit of inclusive and sustainable development is shaping up, a broad agreement is emerging that accountable public governance is a key enabler to such development, and that digital technology, by empowering citizens with access to vast amounts of governance- and policy-related data and the means to analyze and interpret such data, is a key enabler to accountable public governance. The main purpose of ICEGOV2014 is to explore research and policy implications and discuss way forward for technology-enabled and data-intensive public governance in the post-2015 world. The series of International Conferences on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance (ICEGOV) brings together governments, academia, the United Nations (UN) system and other international organizations, civil society and the private sector to share the insights and experiences in theory and practice of Electronic Governance. ICEGOV promotes interactions between different groups of stakeholders, from policy-makers, government officials and elected representatives, to researchers, innovators and educators from developing and developed countries, all sharing a common concern that public investment in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Electronic Governance (EGOV) creates public value. ICEGOV creates a forum for such stakeholders to discuss effective ways to working together across the national, thematic, development, political and other boarders towards addressing this concern. Following earlier conferences in Macao (ICEGOV2007), Cairo (ICEGOV2008), Bogota (ICEGOV2009), Beijing (ICEGOV2010), Tallinn (ICEGOV2011), Albany (ICEGOV2012) and Seoul (ICEGOV2013), the ICEGOV conference series has become a source of significant research and policy events, able to reach to global and multi-stakeholder audiences. On average, every ICEGOV conference attracts 136 submissions from 51 countries and is attended by over 400 participants from more than 50 developed and developing countries including representatives from government (40%), academia (36%), industry and civil society (14%), and international and UN system organizations (10%). 2.SUBMISSIONS ICEGOV2014 invites submissions of original work, not published or considered for publication elsewhere. The papers can be submitted to six specific tracks, several thematic sessions and the doctoral colloquium, as described below. Papers can also be submitted to the conference in general. In either case, Program Chairs may allocate papers to specific tracks, sessions or the colloquium, or relocate them accordingly. The details of the tracks, thematic sessions and the colloquium are included below: o/Track 1: Data for Development/-- With new technologies facilitating data collection in various forms and for various purposes, how can governments and businesses profit from the availability of big and open data?

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: ARTEL14 @ ECTEL: 4th Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning Datum: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 15:48:57 +0000 Von: Michael Prilla <Prilla(a)iaw.ruhr-uni-bochum.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CfP: ARTEL14 @ ECTEL: 4th Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning *** Call for papers and demos *** 4th Workshop on Awareness and Reflection in Technology-Enhanced Learning (ARTEL 2014) to be held in the context of EC-TEL 2014, Graz (Austria): September 16 (Tuesday), 2014. Workshop webpage: http://teleurope.eu/artel14 Twitter hashtag: #artel14 *Rationale* Enhancing "awareness" of learners and other participants involved in learning processes by technology means augmenting formal or informal learning experiences, typically in real-time, with information on progress, presence, outcomes, workspace, and the like. Supporting "reflection" means enabling learners to capture, adapt, re-evaluate, and share experience in anticipation of future situations it will prove relevant to. Reflection supported digitally is a creative act, adding sense and meaning to experiences made. Combining support for "awareness and reflection" bears huge potential for improving the learning and training with respect to utility, self-regulation, usability, and user experience. This 4th ARTEL workshop brings together researchers and industry from different backgrounds to discuss and advance support of awareness and reflection for learning. This year?s workshop will run under the headline ?application in practice?, additionally emphasising feasibility and sustainability aspects in education and in the workplace. The workshop seeks to attract both research results and work in progress in order to chart out the current state-of-the-art and to define main enablers and future challenges. Naturally, it will serve as a forum for establishing new collaborations. The workshop will therefore include both presentations and discussions of research insights (papers), as well as a demo and prototype slam. Using presentations as catalyst for continuing post-talk debate, the workshop will conclude the day with an open discussion exchanging ideas, summing up, and defining a medium to long-term research agenda. The main findings and highlights of the workshop will be presented back to the full EC-TEL plenary in the wrap up session (see main programme, once available). Proceedings of the predecessor workshops are available via http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-790/ (2011), http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-931/ (2012), and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1103/ (2013). Topics of interest include, but are not limited to contributing original theories, methods, evaluation studies, design and application (case) studies in and on: - Reflective writing and knowledge maturing - Analytics, text- and data mining - Integration of reflection support into other approaches of learning - Social and group virtual and super-real presence - Scaffolding approaches and techniques - Real-time awareness and reflection - Personalisation and Social Technologies - Awareness and reflection in inquiry-based learning - Augmented reality, wearable, pervasive applications - Collaborative reflection - Social network analysis - Visual analytics, dashboards - Models, ontologies, and annotation - Processes and workflows *Submission* Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work as either a full paper (limit: 15 pages), research note (limit: 7 pages), or demo (limit: 3 pages). Full papers thereby report on novel theoretical, empirical, or development work, including a significant contribution to the field. Research notes report work in progress to share early insights with the community. Demos describe novel prototypes, design studies, or tools, which can be shown and further discussed during the workshop. All contributions will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee evaluating their originality, significance, and rigour.

This especially holds for the field of Information Systems research given the cross-functional role of information systems within organizations as well as across entire value chains. Scholars have begun to explore the opportunities that information systems offer in support of sustainability under the term "Green Information Systems." As information systems have been a major contributor to productivity growth and efficiency gains over the past decades their role in the development of sustainable business practices definitely warrants further investigation.Notably, it has been asserted that information systems occupy a unique role as they are both a contributor and a potential solution to environmental degradation. Potential topics range from the design of systems and digital services for environmental sustainability to the application of existing theories on change at individual, group, and organizational levels, as well as the development of novel theory. We invite rigorous and relevant studies employing a wide variety of methods. Empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual papers on theory development will be considered. In order to fully incorporate technical and business aspects, we welcome contributions from a broad spectrum of disciplines including business and information systems engineering, management, operations management, computer science, marketing, and economics. ______________________________________________________ Prof. Dr. Gilbert Fridgen Professor of Information Systems and Sustainable IT Management Project Group Business & Information Systems Engineering of the Fraunhofer FIT Deputy Director Research Center Finance & Information Management Faculty of Law, Business Management and Economics University of Bayreuth 95440 Bayreuth Phone: +49 921 55-4711 Fax: +49 921 55-84-4711 mailto:gilbert.fridgen@uni-bayreuth.de http://www.fim-rc.de ______________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org
