CALL FOR PAPERS
AMCIS 2016
Surfing the IT Innovation Wave
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We invite the submission of full completed research papers, Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers, Professional Development Symposia (PDS), panels, CIO Program submissions, and Technology Research, Education, and Opinion (TREO) talk sessions to the 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2016), which will be held August 11-13, 2016 in San Diego, California. AMCIS 2016 brings together academics and industry professionals around the world to exchange knowledge related to the AMCIS 2016 theme, Surfing the IT Innovation Wave.
Let's go surfing ... at AMCIS 2016, where the ideas will be fresh, the research vibrant, and the academic skies sunny. We are looking for submissions that will create, identify, and leverage the awesome innovative potential of the digital economy and the networked society. With you, we will present an exciting program that draws upon the best of SIG-driven AMCIS traditions, continues successful recent initiatives such as the Emergent Research Forums and Technology Research, Education, and Opinion Talks from AMCIS 2015, and adds new features such as the Professional Development Symposia that will offer even more opportunities for participation, collaboration, and dialogue. AMCIS 2016 will be brighter than ever and we look forward to surfing together in San Diego with you. The legendary surfer, Phil Edwards, once said that "The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun." As Program Chairs, we are committed to offering you a program that allows us all to experience what
fun it can be to work in this incredible discipline of ours, as we create and catch the digital waves together.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Submission Types
Full papers must describe completed research. Completed research papers will be submitted to a conference mini track where they will be peer-reviewed using a double blind system and presented in a session format. Each session will consist of three or four competitive papers accepted through the review process. Sessions employ a standard format of presentation by an author and general audience discussion. Each session (meeting room) is set up with presentation equipment (i.e., overhead projectors and screens). Full papers must not exceed 10 pages (approx. 5,000 words) and must conform to the AMCIS 2016 submission template. Full papers that are accepted will be published in their entirety in the conference proceedings.
Emergent Research Forum (ERF) papers are a research in progress option that was introduced at AMCIS 2015. Like completed research, ERF papers will be submitted to a mini track for double blind review. Upon acceptance, ERF papers will be presented by authors while interested participants gather to share ideas and discuss topics of mutual interest. All ERF papers will be judged on the merit of the research idea and will be presented in an ERF presentation format that includes a slam presentation session during the program as well as a poster. Each slam presentation is limited to 3 minutes. ERF papers must not exceed 5 pages (approx. 2,500 words) and must conform to the AMCIS 2016 submission template. Authors of accepted ERF papers may submit an abstract for the proceedings OR a revised paper.
Professional Development Symposia (PDS) offer the opportunity for creative, multi-way conversations, and have the potential to offer a positive impact on the professional development of participants from different regions, SIGs, chapters, career stages, or demographic backgrounds. The PDS chairs encourage anyone interested in organizing a PDS to submit a proposal to the closest relevant track. Proposals involving cross-SIG dialog or collaboration may be submitted to the "General Topics" track. Please be aware, each track is limited to only one PDS. Proposals can be quite brief, but should provide an outline sufficient for the track reviewer to be able to make a recommendation on its applicability, likelihood of drawing an audience, and suitability. Some indication of likely authors and presenters would be helpful.
Panels provide an opportunity for a group of researchers to explore a topic or focus of interest in a panel format, typically involving a panel moderator (who poses several questions related to the topic) and three to four expert contributors with alternative views or perspectives on the topic. Depending upon the topic, the experts can be drawn from the academy and/or from industry. Of particular interest are panel submissions that are related to the conference theme, although panel proposals on other relevant topics are also welcome. The panel chair is willing to work with panel submitters to help them develop provocative ideas into strong proposals.
CIO Program submissions are open to anyone interested for submission this year. In essence all conference attendees can propose and facilitate sessions that include IT industry thought leaders (e.g., executives, managers, technical professionals, non-IT professionals, researchers, practitioners, vendors, consultants, service providers) in panels, paper/research discussions, debates, and working sessions to address current/emerging IT management and technical problems/opportunities. It would be the responsibility of the proposers to identify and invite the respective participants from industry. CIO Program proposals should be clear about the session's objectives, logistics (e.g., panel, research discussions/reviews, teaching/course/curriculum discussion, careers, problem being addressed), target audience (academic and practitioner), and plan to attract/invite practitioners, with an emphasis on the value proposition and strategic relevance of the session. It should speak to a general a
udience, and offer insights and ideas for the future. It could be a 'call to arms' for academics and industry leaders to work together to address challenges in the respective area or it can focus on what the future of the field may look like and how we can prepare for it, and so on. Proposals should be approximately 1,000 words in length, 12 pt. Remember that you will be preparing a complete plan for your session. It should be well articulated and argued regarding the focus and value, and most importantly attracting practitioners and conference attendees. If you have an idea for a proposal or want to discuss it please email Jerry Luftman, luftman(a)hotmail.com<mailto:luftman@hotmail.com>.
Technology Research, Education, and Opinion (TREO) Talks sessions will provide attendees a platform to present their research ideas, education papers, or opinion papers that cover any area of information systems (IS) or information technology (IT) and get feedback from session attendees. The TREO Talk sessions will provide the opportunity to submit a 1-page abstract of a research paper or research idea, an education paper or an idea related to IS education, or an opinion paper on any area of information technology. TREO Talks submissions will be editorially reviewed to ensure that they are IS related and appropriate in nature. Accepted TREO Talks abstracts will be presented at a TREO Talk session. Each TREO Talk author will present their topic, followed by a question and answer and discussion session with the audience. TREO Talk submissions will be in the format of a 1-page abstract and should be submitted via email to: Al Harris at: TREOTalk(a)appstate.edu<mailto:TREOTalk@appstate.edu
>.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

decision making process anywhere and anytime. PIS 2016 is the ideal
place for bringing together the researchers who are working in this
particular area of information systems in order to promote discussion
and explore new scope of scientific contributions.
Having conscience of the most recent situation in Europe and the Horizon
2020 strategy, a deeper analysis should be made on this emerging topic.
Authors are invited to submit unpublished work, contributing with
research papers, case studies and demonstrations that present original
scientific results, methodological aspects, concepts and approaches in
the multidisciplinary field of PIS. Authors should present new trends,
discuss future challenges and understand how information affects the way
humans interact with the built environments occupied by them.
Topics
Workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
Ubiquitous Data Mining;
Pervasive Intelligent Systems;
Pervasive Intelligent Decision Support Systems;
Pervasive Systems Based on Cloud Computing;

bibliographic references should not be included in the version for
evaluation by the Program Committee. This information should only be
included in the camera-ready version, saved in Word or Latex format and
also in PDF format. These files must be accompanied by the Publication
form filled out, in a ZIP file, and uploaded at the conference
management system.
All papers will be subjected to a “double-blind review” by at least
two/three members of the Program Committee. Based on Program Committee
evaluation, a paper can be rejected or accepted by the Conference
Chairs. In the latter case, it can be accepted as the type originally
submitted or as another type. Thus, full papers can be accepted as short
papers. The authors of accepted full papers will have 15 minutes to
present their work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 5 minutes
of discussion will follow each presentation. The authors of accepted
short papers and company papers will have 11 minutes to present their
work in a Conference Work Session; approximately 4 minutes of discussion
will follow each presentation.
All papers should be submitted using the EasyChair system, available in
the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=worldcist-workshops2
Publication and Indexing

Scope
Business Process Management (BPM), as a field of both research and practice,
has been maturing and increasing its span. However, more than improvement,
we need to foster true innovation in business processes that should be
increasingly adaptive, flexible and generative rather than structured,
formalized and stable. That will require BPM to take advantage of recent
breakthroughs in business intelligence, knowledge management, big data,
cloud computing, social computing, internet of things or complex event
processing to name a few. Information Systems research can significantly
contribute to the future of BPM addressing both technical and organizational
issues.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Topics
This workshop explicitly encourages papers that report on novel applications
of concepts, theories and technologies that are of interest to IS scholars
reflecting emerging trends and challenges in business process management
research and practice.
We seek contributions in topics including but not limited to:
· Adaptive Case Management
· BPM and BI
· BPM and Cloud Computing
· BPM and Crowdsourcing
· Collective Adaptive Processes
· Complex Event Processing
· Human-centric Processes and Knowledge-intensive Processes
· Mobile Processes
· Process Data Warehousing
· Process Mining
· Process Simulation
· Processes in the Internet of Things and Wearable Devices
· Social BPM
· User-centric Aspects of BPM

Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: DMSS for supporting QMS in Higher Education
Institutions (special issue in the IJDSST journal)

Von: mmora(a)securenym.net

Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of Decision Support
System Technology (IJDSST)
Special Issue On: Decision-Making Support Systems for Supporting Quality
Management Systems in Higher Education Institutions
Submission Due Date
3/31/2016
Guest Editors

Introduction
In the modern world of knowledge economy, the Higher Education
Institutions (HEIs) play a critical role in increasing and sustaining the
country competitiveness (Schleicher, 2006). HEIs, both public and private
ones, are also not exempt from the market forces and governmental
pressures for being more efficient and effective (CEE, 2003; Dumond &
Johnson, 2013). The general aim on high quality educational services
provision is now mandatory for any HEI around the globe.
To assess and stimulate high quality educational services in HEIs,
national and international regulator agencies have elaborated standards
and guidelines on quality of education (Doherthy, 1997; ENQA, 2005).
Consequently, HEIs are encouraged to satisfy and fulfill such expected
nationwide and international regulations. Given this situation, top
managers from HEIs face the challenge of leading their organizations
toward the achievement and compliance of such educational quality
regulations. As Tsinidou et al. (2010, pp. 227) pointed out: Universities
have realized that their long-term survival depends on how good their
services are and that quality sets one university apart from the rest.
HEIs, thus, are implementing Quality Management Systems (QMS) (ISO, 2005;
2007; Bae, 2007). In particular, decision making is a core activity
performed in the QMS because of the strong positive or negative
consequences from adequate or inadequate decisions made in HEIs.
Decision-making activity can be defined as the managerial process of
framing a decision-making situation, designing a decision model with a set
of courses of action and evaluation criteria, evaluating such a set
against the evaluation criteria for selecting the most adequate course of
action, and implementing it, and learning from its outcomes and its
process (Forgionne et al., 2009). Given the inherent difficulty of
carrying out a decision-making process manually, this process has been
vastly supported by special computer-based applications called
Decision-Making Support Systems (DMSS) (Mora et al., 2002). In general,
DMSS have been widely used in domains such as financial, healthcare,
military, and politics among many others (Mora et al., 2002). Furthermore,
several well-structured DMSS development methodologies and DMSS maturity
models have been reported in the literature (Mora et al., 2011; El-Gayar
et al., 2011). However, in the particular domain of QMS for HEIs, its
utilization has been scarcely reported (Mustafa & Goh, 1996; Ho et al.,
2006).
Hence, under this managerial context of HEIs, our aim is to raise
awareness on the worldwide HEI top management community, as well as on the
value that DMSS can provide to HEIs. Simultaneously, this CFP is a call
for DMSS research community for addressing the challenges and
opportunities in the HEI QMS domain.
