-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: ECIS 2015 - Resilience and Information Systems Workshop Datum: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 12:16:40 -0000 Von: Anabela Mesquita <sarmento(a)iscap.ipp.pt> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Call for Papers* Resilience and Information Systems Workshop ECIS 2015 - http://ecis2015.eu/ * *The workshop will focus research in designing resilience into regions and organizations so they display a sustained capacity for change, therefore increasing their ability to survive a crisis and thrive in contexts of high uncertainty. Relevant research must address the role Information Systems and Technologies can play in managing the collective and distributed capacities to (1) anticipate potentially disrupting events; (2) avoid or prevent their occurrence; (3) plan and prepare for disruption required to protect the organization / community /region; (4) recover to a new fully functional state and assure continued operations. The workshop addresses, more specifically, the following aspects of resilience and information systems and technologies: ·How people, resources, information systems and infrastructures be designed and managed so that the organization/community/region displays a high level of resilience to *economic crisis (*Economic crisis can be triggered by many factors, including severe environmental hazards, war, depletion of traditional energy resources, major demographic changes, generalized social uprisings, cyber-attacks, pandemics, major market changes - demand, supply, technology - and questionable business and financial practices); ·The connection between resilience and the creation of smarter cities. (Planning for resilience to the impacts of stressors within cities requires an evaluation of the vulnerable components of cities, an understanding of the key processes, procedures, and interactions that organize these components and develop the capacity to address various structuring of components and their interactions with the ultimate goal of achieving resilience); ·The need for IS solutions that leverage indigenous knowledge and are built with frugal engineering practices. (A focus on indigenous knowledge is important for creating solutions that make sense within emerging economies. Frugal engineering is a new method of development that assesses the needs of the market as well as what the market can spend to respond to growing demands and tighter budgets); ·The need for appreciation of how crowdsourcing solutions can drive entrepreneurship and innovation in the context of economic resilience by supporting new models for growth of enterprises; ·The role that Information Systems/Technologies can play during and after a disaster to enable local disaster management and resilience (e.g. crowd and mobile apps). The purpose of the workshop is to bring together IS scholars who are conducting research into Information Systems to support/enable resilient organizations, communities and/or regions to economic crises, which is a topic within the field of IS that is gaining relevance given the many sources of uncertainty lying ahead. The workshop will provide a forum within which participating scholars can collaborate to determine the scope and thematic content of the area of IS for Resilience. Submissions: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecis2015ris Submissions will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Accepted papers will be published in JISTEM - journal of information systems and technology management - http://www.jistem.fea.usp.br/ and IJTHI – international journal of technology and human interaction - http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-technology-human-in… *Important deadlines* March 6th, 2015 - submission deadline April 3^rd , 2015 - notifications due April 24^th 2015 - revised submissions due May 8^th 2015 : final notifications due *· URL to the workshop * http://ris2015.apsi.pt <http://ris2015.apsi.pt/>

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Industry track - Business Cases and Technologies for Rules in Industry @ RuleML2015 Datum: Sat, 21 Feb 2015 10:30:40 +0100 Von: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de **** Please forward to interested colleagues **** Call for Papers Business Cases and Technologies for Rules in Industry: State of practice, Challenges and Opportunities Industry Track @ RuleML 2015 http://2015.ruleml.org/industrytrack.html The 9th International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML) August 3-5, 2015 Freie Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany http://2015.ruleml.org ============ Business Cases and Technologies for Rules in Industry: State of practice, Challenges and Opportunities ----------------------------------------------------------------- With the increased importance of big data for improving operational performance in all sectors of industry, the role of rule technologies has become ever more manifest (and even critical). Indeed, if Data assets have been recognized as the "new oil", then Rule technologies should be introduced for the most important processing steps in generating value from data. For example, event-condition rules enable the detection of an anomaly state in the process execution by processing huge streams of sensor data. However, not only the creation and execution of such rules, but also their maintenance and refinement require a systematic approach, provided usually through rule management methodologies and systems. On the other hand the industry is still not completely aware of the importance of such approaches for an efficient utilization of rules in the era of big data. Therefore, there is a need for industry to share, exploit, and learn about the use of rules and rule technologies for solving real life business problems. The proposed industry track aims to be a forum for all sectors of industry (and the corresponding public sectors) to address such needs. Incentives for industry participation in this track include: - Present own results / solutions for use of rule technologies in business settings - Learn about new trends in rule technologies, and how they can be used to address business problems - Learn about new trends in other domains (like Big data, Internet of Things) that influence the application of rule technologies in industry - Exchange experiences about business cases and use of rules - Compete for a RuleML award for best business case for use of rules technologies Why at RuleML? -------------- The International Web Rule Symposium (RuleML) has been a leading international conference on research, applications, languages and standards for rule technologies. During the past 8 years it has built bridges between academia and industry in the field of rules and its applications, especially as part of the semantic technology stack. See further details at http://2015.ruleml.org. Submissions ----------- The track seeks two types of submissions in LNCS format: - Extended abstracts of up to 2 pages - Short papers of up to 8 pages Irrespective of the type, the submissions must follow the following structure / template: 1. Business case - explain the business case and the value proposition 2. Technological challenges - explaining why the business case challenge is difficult to solve using traditional technologies 3. Rule-based solution - technical details, esp. the usage of rules 4. Results - the benefits of the solution, including improvement of KPIs 5. Importance and impact - describe the importance of the solution for business/technology Topic-wise any rules-related topics are welcome as long as they follow the above structure. The submissions will be peer-reviewed. Selected best industry papers will be published in the RuleML Springer LNCS Proceedings and all other accepted industry papers will be published in the RuleML CEUR proceedings. The papers must be submitted via RuleML submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2015 and selecting the track "RuleML 2015 - Industry Track". Besides presenting their business case papers, selected authors of industry track papers, among others, will be invited to participate in a panel related to the use of rules and rule technologies in business cases.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP PROCARE workshop: Process-Oriented Approach for Patient-Centered Care Delivery Datum: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 11:34:13 +0100 Von: Geert Poels <geert.poels(a)ugent.be> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org ** Workshop on Process-oriented approach for patient-centered care delivery (PROCARE) ------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop at the 9th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare May 20-23, 2015 - Istanbul, Turkey Website: http://procare.intec.ugent.be <http://procare.intec.ugent.be/> Email: procare(a)intec.ugent.be <mailto:procare@intec.ugent.be> ** SCOPE ------------------------------------------------------------ Stimulating innovation through the introduction of novel IT solutions is by default a multidisciplinary field, certainly in pervasive healthcare. Supporting and solving healthcare problems need holistically combined methods and insights. Aligning a complex ecosystem of stakeholders with different goals, backgrounds and perspectives, such as care delivery (medicine, home care), IT (communication, hardware, software, media), organizational, economic, legal and user perspectives, is one of the main hurdles to be tackled. Few focus has been paid to the introduction of efficient and effective processes behind this innovation in order to integrate the solution in this complex care and cure ecosystem. Achieving a truly combined approach on research, product development, process design, management, improvement and optimization, and measurement system through key performance indicators (KPIs) when introducing pervasive healthcare systems still proves to be challenging. This workshop aims to bring together a diverse public on this topic to exchange knowledge and showcase the benefits of process thinking in care & cure environment to discuss case studies, and to develop guidelines on stimulating interdisciplinary cooperation and best practices how to avoid pitfalls. ** Topics ------------------------------------------------------------ Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following: Different perspectives on the process oriented approach: User, Technology, Legal, Organisational, Economics, Information Systems * Design principles, tools & methodologies * Technology acceptance & performance * Modelling techniques * Declarative and rules modelling of healthcare processes * Process integration and strategic alignment * Measurement and evaluation * Optimization techniques * Lean management * Fit with business models & valorisation strategies * Cost/benefit analysis * Change management strategies in organizations * Social and societal implications * Regulatory issues * Privacy, security, and trust * Organization management * Other perspectives Case Studies * Presentation and lessons learned (best practices / bottlenecks) of cases where a process oriented approach was introduced in a pervasive healthcare setting Tools and demos * Presentation of tools that support the project oriented approach e.g. interoperability between IT systems, BPMN and Declare modelling and simulation tools, KPI dashboard systems, etc. ** Author timeline ------------------------------------------------------------ Paper submission: March 15th, 2015 Acceptance notification: March 31st, 2015 Final paper submission April 10th, 2015 ** Submission guidelines ----------

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2015 Call for Paper - e-Government Mini-Track: Trends in Smart City Initiatives - Opportunities and Challenges Datum: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:46:05 +0000 Von: Sankar Sivarajah <Sankar.Sivarajah(a)brunel.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues, *CALL FOR PAPERS*: *AMCIS 2015 EGOV Mini-Track: Trends in Smart City Initiatives: Opportunities and Challenges* Main Track: e-Government Mini Track: Trends in Smart City Initiatives: Opportunities and Challenges Puerto Rico, August 13-15, 2015 *Mini-track Description:* The e-government era has enabled public administrations to become more efficient and effective through the delivery of digital solutions and services. While the early emphasis of e-government led service transformation was highly focused on using technology to deliver improved and personalized services for citizens, more recent efforts have been focused on grassroots level impacts that are enabled through smart use of technology. In this context, the emphasis has somewhat shifted from a service delivery focus to a smart ICT-infrastructure based eco-system that is sustainable. The application of ICT in the context of future cities is indicated by the notion of smart city. Nevertheless, the smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. The notion of smart city is emerging as a key strategy to tackle the problems generated by the urban population growth and rapid development. Smart city innovations are evolving as new approaches to holistic management of cities’ physical, socio-economic, environmental, transportation and political assets across all urban domains, typically supported by ICT. An effective smart city initiative is one that brings together technology, government and society to enable a smarter economy, mobility, environment, people, living and governance. However, as the smart city phenomenon itself is still emerging, the concept is being applied all over the world with different terminologies, context and meanings. This mini track invites work that frames smart city initiatives and explores its impact from a social, economic, technical or organizational perspective. Relevant topics may include areas that discuss smart city initiatives such as energy efficient cities, intelligent transport systems, smart communications and networks etc. In addition to empirical studies, theoretical and conceptual papers will be considered. The objective of the mini-track is to encourage research that can be useful to those engaged in smart city initiatives. *Suggested Topics:* Contributed papers may deal with, but are not limited to: ·Role of ICT in smart city initiatives ·Role of Policy Makers in smart city initiatives ·The development, implementation, control and maintenance of smart city initiatives ·Transformational smart city initiatives ·Different process, information systems and technology integration approaches used in smart city initiatives ·Governance, integrated service delivery and reengineering of smart cities ·Barriers to awareness, adoption and diffusion of smart city initiatives ·Evaluation of case studies ·Technology alignments in smart cities ·Innovative applications and best practices in smart cities initiatives Submit your manuscript before *2pm Eastern Standard Time February 25, 2015* at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2015 For submission guidelines, please refer to: http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/submission-guidelines For general information on AMCIS 2015: http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/ <http://amcis2015.aisnet.org/> *Important dates: * February 25, 2015 Submission Deadline April 21, 2015 Author Notification April 28, 2015 Camera Ready Submission Deadline Selected papers will be fast tracked to the following journals: ·Transforming Government: People, Process and Policy (TGPPP) ·International Journal of Electronic Government Research (IJEGR) *Mini-Track Chairs:* Sankar Sivarajah Brunel University London Sankar.sivarajah(a)brunel.ac.uk <mailto:Sankar.sivarajah@brunel.ac.uk> Vishanth Weerakkody Brunel University London Vishanth.Weerakkody(a)brunel.ac.uk <mailto:Vishanth.Weerakkody@brunel.ac.uk> Ramzi El-Haddadeh Brunel University London Ramzi.El-Haddadeh(a)brunel.ac.uk <mailto:Ramzi.El-Haddadeh@brunel.ac.uk> Zahir Irani Brunel University London Zahir.Irani(a)brunel.ac.uk <mailto:Zahir.Irani@brunel.ac.uk> Habin Lee Brunel University London Habin.Lee(a)brunel.ac.uk <mailto:Habin.Lee@brunel.ac.uk> ** **
