-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Social Media, Crowd Sourcing, and Public Health: paper due on May 25 Datum: Fri, 8 May 2015 11:26:30 -0400 Von: Mohd Anwar <susmanlab(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleague: Please consider submission. Thanks so much for your time and consideration. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 4th International Workshop on Issues and Challenges in Social Computing (WICSOC 2015) - Social Media, Crowd Sourcing, and Public Health Social Computing Technologies (SCT) offer users opportunities for connectedness, participation and engagement, collaboration, offering/receiving social support, etc. 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 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23899831). 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. The aim of this workshop is to discuss and exchange ideas on the issues and challenges in social computing systems as they relate to health care and public health. 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 -> Data protection (Privacy, Security, Trust) in healthcare social networks -> Empowerment of patients and healthcare professionals -> Design and evaluation of social game for health education & awareness -> Classification and categorization of health information in social media -> Mining of big Data for population health monitoring or intervention -> Social computing application for health & wellness management All contributions will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts. Papers should be 4-6 pages (English) in IEEE format, including bibliography and well-marked appendices. Accepted papers will be published as workshop papers in the IEEE IRI conference proceedings. The extended versions of the best papers from the workshop will be considered for journal publications.

Fwd: [WI] CfP The 8th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’15)
by Gustaf Neumann 08 May '15

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] CfP The 8th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2’15) Datum: Fri, 08 May 2015 16:14:15 +0200 Von: rainer.schmidt(a)hm.edu An: wi(a)lists.kit.edu The 8th Workshop on Social and Human Aspects of Business Process Management (BPMS2â15) August 31st, 2015 Innsbruck, Austria Call for Papers Deadline for workshop paper submissions: 29 May, 2015 Workshop Theme The involvement of human aspects into Business Process Management takes place both on a social and individual level. Social software is a new paradigm that is spreading quickly in society, organizations and economics. Enterprises use social software to improve their business processes and create new business models. Social software is used both in internal and external business processes. Using social software, the communication with the customer is increasingly bi-directional. E.g. companies integrate customers into product development to capture ideas for new products and features. Social software also creates new possibilities to enhance internal business processes by improving the exchange of knowledge and information, to speed up decisions, etc. In parallel to the fact that more and more enterprises are using business process management also the individual is involved in a multitude of business processes. This creates a number of new challenges. Individuals have to cope with multiple process contexts and thus have to administer data appropriately. Furthermore, individuals have to integrate the external business processes into their own work environment or even to couple several external business processes. Human aspects in business process management relate to the individual who creates a process model, to the communication among people, during and after the process execution, and to the social process of collaborative modeling. Human aspects also relate to the interaction / collaboration / coordination / cooperation that should be implemented in the business process or to specific human-related aspects of the business process itself and their representations in models. Up to now, the interaction of social and human aspects with business processes has not been investigated in depth. Therefore, the objective of the workshop is to explore how social software interacts with business process management, how business process management has to change to comply with weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service, and how business processes may profit from these principles. The workshop will discuss three topics. Social Business Process Management, Social Business and Human Aspects of Business Process Management. Social Business Process Management is the use of social software to support one or multiple phases of the business process lifecycle. 1. Social Business Process Management (SBPM) - Which phases of the BPM lifecycle (Design, Deployment, Operation, and Evaluation) can profit the most by social software? - Do we need new BPM methods and/or paradigms to cope with social software? - Is there an influence of weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning on BPM methods themselves? - How are trust and reputation established in business processes using social software? - How do weak ties, social production, egalitarianism and mutual service provisioning influence the design of business processes? - How does social software interact with WFMS or other business process support systems? - What is the impact on conceptual models for those categories of business processes which are not well-defined? 2. Social Business: Social software supporting business processes - Which new possibilities for the support of business processes are created by social software? - Are there business processes which require sociality, especially when they are not predictable (as production workflows) but collaborative or ad hoc? - How can we use Wikis, Blogs etc. to support business processes? - Which types of social software can be used in which phases of the BPM lifecycle? - What new kinds of business knowledge representation are offered by social production? 3. Human Aspects of Business Process Management - What requirements are created for individuals by participating in a multitude of business processes. - Which concepts and technologies exist to support the individual in coping with different external business processes - Which further human aspects of business process management exist? - Human-centric business processes - Human resource management in business processes - Goal Based on the five previous successful BPMS2â08, BPMS2â09, BPMS2â10, BPMS2â11, BPMS2â12, BPMS2â13, BPMS2â14 workshops, the goal of the BPMS2â15 workshop is to promote the integration of business process management with social software and to enlarge the community pursuing the theme. Workshop paper format Position papers of up to 2500 words are sought. Position papers that raise relevant questions, or describe successful or unsuccessful practice, or describe experience will all be welcome. Position papers will be assigned a 20 minute presentation. Short papers of up to 1000 words can also be submitted, and will be assigned a 10 minutes presentation. Submission Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for presentation in any of the areas listed above. Only papers in English will be accepted. Length of full papers must not exceed 12 pages (There is no possibility to buy additional pages). Position papers and tool reports should be no longer than 6 pages. Papers should be submitted in the new LNBIP format (http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-487211-0). Papers have to present original research contributions not concurrently submitted elsewhere. The title page must contain a short abstract, a classification of the topics covered, preferably using the list of topics above, and an indication of the submission category (regular paper/position paper/tool report). Please use Easychair for submitting your paper: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bpmws15 The paper selection will be based upon the relevance of a paper to the main topics, as well as upon its quality and potential to generate relevant discussion.

Workshop Description International Conference on CyberWorlds is a well-established key international event in the field of virtual worlds and computer graphics. The conference is designated as ACM SIGGRAPH small conference, and is supported by Eurographics and IEEE, with proceedings published by IEEE-CS. In 2015, it will take place at UNESCO World Heritage Site Hanseatic city of Visby on Island of Gotland, Sweden. Recently, the research focus has shifted towards security and privacy aspects in virtual worlds, with cybersecurity emerged as one of the emerging research directions. Security research domain has recently witnessed tremendous growth in respect to all aspects of information access and sharing. There has been notable progress in developing successful approaches to tackle the problem of user authentication. Among those approaches, biometric-based authentication firmly established itself as one of the most reliable, efficient, and versatile tools for providing discretionary access control to a secure resource or system. While state-of-the art methods for biometric authentication are becoming increasingly more popular and better understood, the same unfortunately cannot be said about security of users populating on-line communities or cyberworld. The workshop invites high-quality, original and previously unpublished research in all areas of biometric and cyber security, including both theoretical foundations, system design, empirical studies on individual and multi-modal biometrics, as well as emerging biometric research trends. Image processing, machine intelligence, cognitive sciences and information fusion provide strong theoretical foundations and drive current state-pf-the-art biometric research. Biometric template protection, on-line security, social biometrics, context-based biometrics, robotic biometrics and artimetrics are emerging areas of biometric, which fit perfectly with overall Cyberworlds Conference themes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Biometric image processing, feature extraction and matching - Pattern Recognition for Biometrics - Cancellable Biometrics and Template Protection - Privacy and Biometrics - Biometric based passwords and encryption - Biometric Databases and Evaluation - Empirical and theoretical studies, standards and models - Multi-modal biometrics (sensor level, feature level, decision level, rank level and match level) - Biometric architectures - Machine Intelligence in Biometrics - Cognitive biometrics - Social biometrics - Context-based Biometrics - Robotic Biometrics (Artimetrics) - Security Applications and Biometric Systems - On-line Security and Biometrics - Virtual World Security and Biometrics For information on paper submission and to submit your paper please go to CW'15 web site and chose Biometric Security Workshop: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cw2015 All workshop papers will undergo rigorous refereeing, accepted papers will be published as part of main Cyberworlds Conference IEEE-CS Proceedings and indexed by major citation engines.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP HICSS 2016 Minitrack: Digital Service Innovations based on "Open" Phenomena and Practices Datum: Fri, 8 May 2015 06:38:03 +0000 Von: Rossi Matti <matti.rossi(a)aalto.fi> An: Isworld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers HICSS 2016 Minitrack Title: Digital Service Innovations based on "Open" Phenomena and Practices January 5-8, 2016 Grand Hyatt, Kauai Website: www.hicss.hawaii.edu<http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/> Value produced by digital service innovation is disrupting established markets as well as generating entirely new ones. The innovations come from many different sources: traditional R&D, cross-industry initiatives, new entrants that displace incumbents in traditional industries and more and more from open development processes or crowdsourcing of new ideas from consumers as existing or potential customers. This minitrack focuses on those open phenomena and practices. Examples new kind of development openness include, for example: the opening of the vast data resources collected by authorities and different governmental units, the increasing availability of new open sensor data (for example, from mobile devices), and innovation contests. We seek novel research describing innovative services or service systems that are created. The submissions can be research papers, case studies, or practitioner reports related new service development and their implications. Opening up the development of processes and crowdsourcing these services provide new opportunities and challenges. Developer driven voluntary innovation communities such as open data and open source offer a rich source for new insights. Developers, consumers and citizens can provide new ideas, but do not necessarily have the expertise, interest or resources to develop them further, which in turn opens up possibilities for established companies and new start-ups. This year we are especially interested on research related to the open digital services innovation and development processes. Answering these questions is pivotal from the perspectives of business research and policy making. Studies employing design research as well as either qualitative or quantitative research methods are all welcomed. We will provide a fast track for best papers to a journal, and for this we have already contacted a few journals. We will provide a fast track for best papers to a journal. Relevant topics may include (but are not limited to): · Novel approaches to crowdsourcing new digital service ideas · Novel approaches to development of new digital services · Business value of digital service innovations · Business model destruction/creation caused by digital service innovations · Open data service ecosystems · Applications and models utilizing “quantified self” data · Mydata/Midata and similar personal data management approaches · Location and sensor data based digital services · Open data infrastructures · Privacy issues related to open data and open data services Deadlines: June 15: Submit full manuscripts for review. The review is double-blind; therefore this submission must be without author names. August 15: Acceptance notices are emailed to authors by the Review System. At least one author of each accepted paper must immediately make plans to attend the conference, including initiating fiscal, visa, or other travel guarantees. September 15: Accepted authors submit Final Paper. Early Registration fee deadline. At least one author of each paper should register by Sept 15 in order secure publication in the Conference Proceedings.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Call for Paper für MKWI-Teilkonferenz: Software-Produktmanagement Datum: Fri, 8 May 2015 07:10:45 +0000 Von: Georg Herzwurm <herzwurm(a)wius.bwi.uni-stuttgart.de> An: wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> Call for Paper für MKWI-Teilkonferenz: Software-Produktmanagement Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik 2016, 09. bis 11. März 2016 in Ilmenau http://www.mkwi2016.de Leitung ------- Prof. Dr. Georg Herzwurm, Universität Stuttgart (Kontaktperson) Dipl. Math. Jens Borchers, Sopra Steria Consulting, Hamburg Prof. Dr. Marco Kuhrmann, University of Southern Denmark, Odense Dr. Martin Mikusz, Universität Stuttgart Prof. (em.) Dr.-Ing. Thorsten Spitta, Universität Bielefeld Inhalt ------ Software-Produktmanagement befasst sich als integrative Querschnittsaufgabe mit der Planung und Steuerung des gesamten Produktlebenszyklus. Software-Produktmanagement erfolgt auf unterschiedlichen (Abstraktions-)Ebenen - von den Daten und dem technischen Basissystem, über Basis- und Business-Services, bis hin zum Anwendungssystem im Geschäftsprozess und der Wertschöpfung in Informationssystemen. Anwender wie auch Anbieter von Software sind zunehmend damit konfrontiert, die genutzten und zu beschaffenden Systeme so zu betreiben und weiterzuentwickeln, dass sie geschäftliche Aktivitäten wirkungsvoll unterstützen und nicht etwa behindern. Dies setzt eine hohe Transparenz der Software-Ressourcen und ihrer Nutzung voraus, aber auch die verstärkte Kooperation mit Kunden und Partnern, die zunehmend lokal verteilt und über globale Netze agieren. Ansätze und Technologien wie Cloud Computing, Internet der Dinge und Dienste, „as a Service“ u.v.m. verändern das Produkt(verständnis) radikal und führen zu immer kürzeren und gleichzeitig komplexeren Produktlebenszyklen, auf die auch das Produktmanagement (flexibel) reagieren muss. Die o.g. Herausforderungen stellen sich dem Software-Produktmanagement in der Wirtschaft schon seit geraumer Zeit, haben aber seit dem Bologna-Prozess auch die Hochschulen erreicht, die darauf schlecht vorbereitet sind. Es gibt viele "Baustellen" von sog. Campus-Management Systemen. Während in der akademischen Ausbildung Software-Entwicklungskonzepte dominieren, stellt die Forschung des Software-Produktmanagements eher Fragen zum reibungslosen und risikoarmen Betrieb von Software als unentbehrlichem Hilfsmittel heutiger Organisationsunterstützung. Dies kann in Hochschulen nur mit zeitgemäßen Systemen gelingen, aus denen sich Standardsoftware der Zukunft heraus kristallisieren kann. Zu der Teilkonferenz werden Einreichungen erbeten, die einen Beitrag leisten, das Software-Produktmanagement auf die neuen Herausforderungen in Unternehmen und Hochschulen vorzubereiten. Dabei können sowohl operative Fragen (z. B. Inventarisierung oder Kennzahlen zu statischen und dynamischen Verfahren) als auch strategische Aspekte (z. B. Wartung von Software in Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken oder innovative Geschäftsmodelle für IT-Abteilungen) angesprochen werden. Mögliche Themen für Beiträge ---------------------------- * Innovative Ansätze des Software-Produktmanagements in Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken bzw. Ecosystems * Software-Produktmanagement von/bei Cloud-Produkten * Software-Produktmanagement im Zeitalter des Internet der Dinge und Dienste * Anforderungsmanagement bei interorganisationaler Produktenwicklung * Plattformen für wirtschaftlichen Betrieb * Software-Produktmanagement bei IT-Startups * Die Rolle von Mobilen Applikationen in Datenbank-integrierten Systemen * Campus-Management Systeme als Software-Produkte * Fallstudien zur Installation von Campus-Management Systemen Einreichung und Begutachtungsprozess ------------------------------------ * Beiträge können in deutscher oder englischer Sprache verfasst werden. Englische Beiträge sollen während der Konferenz in englischer Sprache präsentiert und diskutiert werden. * Alle Beiträge müssen exakt der Dokumentvorlage der MKWI 2016 entsprechen.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Final CfP: VOLT 2015 @ STAF 2015 Datum: Thu, 7 May 2015 21:47:36 +0000 Von: Wimmer Manuel <wimmer(a)big.tuwien.ac.at> An: wi(a)lists.kit.edu <wi(a)lists.kit.edu> VOLT 2015 Co-located with STAF 2015 4th Workshop on the Verification of Model Transformation http://volt2015.big.tuwien.ac.at **** Extended Submission Deadline **** May 22, 2015 *** Call for Papers *** Model transformations are everywhere in software development. They have been described as the “heart and soul of Model-Driven Development (MDD)”. It is generally accepted that MDD is a very promising means for raising the level of abstraction of current software development techniques, while making it more reliable, efficient, safe and cost-effective. Several experts have identified the verification of model transformations as one of the grand challenges of the domain. Despite some recent activity in the field, the work on the verification of model transformations remains scattered and a clear perspective on the subject is still not in sight. Furthermore, current model transformation tools lack verification techniques to support such activities. If we generically consider a model transformation as an algorithm describing specific model manipulations, then testing it or proving some of its properties can be envisaged. However, a model transformation performs particular computations where: (1) it typically operates on models, thus on data at a high-level of abstraction rich in semantics and (2) from a pragmatic point of view, often only the initial input and the final output is of interest and none of the intermediate steps matters. Moreover, a particular subject of interest is the fact that model transformations are used to perform specific computations in the context of MDD, such as model refinement, refactoring, translation, synthesis, simulation, or synchronization. In this sense, we feel that useful verification techniques for model transformations can and possibly should be specific to these activities. The Fourth International Workshop on the Verification Of modeL Transformation (VOLT 2015) is one of the most accurate venues to offer researchers a dedicated forum to classify, discuss, propose, and advance verification techniques dedicated to model transformations. VOLT 2015 promotes discussions between theoreticians and practitioners from academy and industry, given its ideal co-location with STAF and in particular ECMFA, ICGT, ICMT, TTC, and TAP. VOLT’s interest spans both to academic and industrial practices. One of the goals of the forum is to collect enough industrial case studies so that those problems can be stated at a theoretical level. In order to discuss these and further similar questions, we would like to invite submissions in the form of regular papers, short papers (ongoing work, position statements), and demonstration papers (about novel tool features) related to the following topics: - Application of formal verification (e.g., theorem proving, model-checking or abstract interpretations) to model transformations: * Verification of model transformations expressed in languages such as ATL, QVT, TGG, Viatra, Kermeta, Epsilon, etc.; * Verification of Domain-Specific Model Transformations, in contrast to general-purpose transformations; * Verification techniques dedicated to model transformation; - Taxonomies of techniques for model transformation verification: * Properties relevant to techniques for model transformation verification; * Reviews and surveys on the practice of verification for model transformations; - Comparisons between formal verification techniques for model transformation versus general-purpose programming languages; - Case studies, comparisons, and experience reports; - Tools and automation. As a special issue this year, we also strongly encourage solutions to the following model transformation verification challenges: - a purely structural translation (aka. structural bridge) consisting of the classical UML2RDMS transformation; - an operational semantics of a Domain-Specific Language allowing to play to the well-known PacMan game; - a translational semantics providing executability of (a significant portion of) Activity Diagrams in terms of Petri Nets. All cases are well-documented transformations, so that contestants can focus on the verification tasks rather than the (correct) transformation design. More details about the transformations, as well as the associated requirements, are provided on the Workshop's webpage. *** Submission *** To comply with STAF's special theme of "reproducibility", submitted papers should fall down in one of these paper category, depending on the nature of the contribution: - Regular papers (up to 10 pages) which presents novel innovative approaches, should integrate our case studies either as a running example, or as a minimal case study for validation; - Short papers (up to 8 pages) which presents new ideas or ongoing research, are submitted to the same requirements as regular papers. - Tool/Demo papers (up to 6 pages) which should demonstrate our case studies by formally analysing their associated properties within a specific tool. All submissions should follow the Springer LNCS format and be submitted through the EasyChair installation: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=volt2015 A pre-workshop version of the papers will be available on the workshop website and a post-workshop version will be published as CEUR workshop proceedings (http://ceur-ws.org). We are aiming at a joint article comprising all solutions for the Case Studies. *** Workshop Format *** VOLT 2015 is a one-day workshop, divided into two parts: keynote, paper presentations, and tool demonstrations (morning) and discussions in working groups (afternoon). *** Important Dates *** Submission: May 22, 2015 Author notification: June 5, 2015 Final version: July 8, 2015 Workshop: July 23, 2015 *** Organization Committee *** Moussa AMRANI, University of Namur, Belgium Eugene SYRIANI, University of Montréal, Canada Manuel WIMMER, Vienna University of Technology, Austria *** Program Committee *** Mark Asztalos (Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary) Dider Buchs (University of Geneva, Switzerland) Jordi Cabot (INRIA, France) Marsha Chechik (University of Toronto, Canada) Antonio Cichetti (Malardalen University in Vasteras, Sweden) Juan de Lara (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain) Michalis Famelis (University of Toronto, Canada) Holger Giese (Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Germany) Martin Gogolla (University of Bremen, Germany) Jeff Gray (University of Alabama, USA) Esther Guerra (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Spain) Reiko Heckel (University of Leicester, UK) Ákos Horváth (Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary) Marouane Kessentini (University of Michigan, USA) Leen Lambers (Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Germany) Kevin Lano (King's College London, UK) Tihamer Levendovszky (Vanderbilt University School of Engineering, USA) Levi Lucio (McGill University, Canada) Arend Rensink (University of Twente, Netherlands) Rick Saley (University of Toronto, Canada) Martina Seidl (University of Linz, Austria) Gabriele Taentzer (Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany) Javier Troya (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) Antonio Vallecillo (Universidad de Málaga) -- Mailing-Liste: wi(a)lists.kit.edu Administrator: wi-request(a)lists.kit.edu Konfiguration: https://www.lists.kit.edu/wws/info/wi

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers and reviewers - 26th Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS 2015), Adelaide. Datum: Thu, 7 May 2015 22:25:10 +0000 Von: John Lamp <john.lamp(a)deakin.edu.au> An: ISHoDs (IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au) <IS-hods(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISAus (IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au) <IS-Aus(a)list.utas.edu.au>, ISWorld <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for papers and reviewers - 26th Australasian Conference on Information Systems (ACIS 2015), Adelaide. For further information regarding the call for papers, please refer to the main conference web site at: https://acis2015.unisa.edu.au/ The conference will include the following Tracks and though we encourage submissions that focus on one of these areas, we are open to submissions in other areas: * Social Media and Social Technologies for Organisations and Individuals * Health Informatics * IS Security, Cyber Crime and Digital Investigations * Information Systems and Future-focused Learning Environments * Electronic/Mobile Commerce and IT-enabled Supply Chain Management * Enterprise Systems Services and Management * Information Ethics, Professionalism and Society * Information Quality and Governance * IS in Supply Chain Management * Knowledge Management and IS * Diversity and Inclusion in the IT Workforce * Information Systems Development for a Connected World * Emerging Approaches for Decision Support Systems and Business Intelligence * General Track Full Research & Research-in-Progress Papers Full research and research-in-progress submissions may take the form of theoretical essays, formal analyses, technical discussions, and/or papers reporting on quantitative or qualitative empirical research. It is expected that full papers in these categories will include final (or in-progress) data analyses and documentation of results. Full research should be similar to journal submissions, but shorter (i.e. 10 A4 pages). Research-in-progress papers are the same as above but typically represent work that is incomplete, yet promising. They must be submitted to the conference track that best fits the topic area. ACIS 2015 recognises that the list of tracks is not an exhaustive one - nonetheless, ACIS 2015 asks that authors select the track that best fits the topic area. The Programme Co-Chairs may then shift a submission from one track to another, as they deem appropriate. Submission Format Language The language of the conference is English. All submissions must therefore be in English. Originality Submissions to ACIS2015 should not have been published previously in a journal or conference proceedings, nor presented at another conference, nor currently under review or consideration for publication or presentation elsewhere. Length and format The maximum length for all submissions is 10 A4 pages (Times New Roman 10pt), including references and appendices. All submissions must be in .DOC format and must use the ACIS 2015 submission template<https://acis2015.unisa.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ACIS-template-2015…>. An example can be found here<https://acis2015.unisa.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ACIS-example.pdf>. This document also contains the general guidelines for formatting of all submissions. Anonymizing for Initial Review As all submissions will be double-blind reviewed, the author's names(s) and affiliation(s) should not be included anywhere in the document for the initial submission. If referring to articles or documents by the same author(s) these should be removed from the text and reference list, and replace with <removed for refereeing>. As it places a significant administrative burden on the conference organisers to ensure that your paper does not identify you as an author, and as this is central to the integrity of the double-blind review process, then failure to comply with these formatting requirements will result in rejection of your paper. How to Submit All submissions must be made via the ACIS2015 submission system<https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi>.<https://www.easychair.org/account/signin.cgi> Author information, abstract, keywords and the main body of the submission will be uploaded separately in the review system. Authors can upload a manuscript which that can be altered, re-uploaded or deleted. Once an author "submits" a manuscript to the system, however, it can no longer be changed, edited, or revised. Please note: No duplicated submissions to different tracks will be accepted. Review Process All paper submissions will be pre-screened for conformity with the submission guidelines and overall appropriateness for the conference. Paper submissions that pass the initial screening will be evaluated in a double-blind peer review process. These include full research papers, research-in-progress papers, teaching cases, and practitioner reports. Each conference track is chaired by IS academics with research expertise in the respective area. The track chairs will supervise the review process, involving selected reviewers from the IS research community. Acceptance and rejection decisions are will be finalized by the Programme Committee. In general, the review criteria will be those typically used by major journals and conferences (e.g. relevance of the topic, quality of the research process, contribution etc). The results of the review process will be communicated to the author(s) by the specified date. The author(s) will be responsible for making the revisions recommended by the reviewers, and for submitting the final version of their paper by the appropriate deadline. Commitment to participate in the conference At least one author of each accepted paper and all the members of accepted panels must register for the conference. Contact us If you have any questions about the programme and/or the paper submission process, please contact the Programme Chairs Professor Frada Burstein, Monash University (frada.burstein(a)monash.edu<mailto:frada.burstein@monash.edu>) or Dr Gaye Deegan, UniSA (gaye.deegan(a)unisa.edu.au<mailto:gaye.deegan@unisa.edu.au>) or Associate Professor Helana Scheepers (hscheepers(a)swin.edu.au<mailto:hscheepers@swin.edu.au>) Important Dates: 3 August 2015 Paper Submission Deadline 17 August 2015 Deadline for Doctoral Consortium, Tutorials, Workshops & Panels Proposal Submission 14 September 2015 Notification of Acceptance of Papers 5 October 2015 Notification of acceptance/rejections for Doctoral Consortium, Tutorials, Workshops & Panels 12 October 2015 Revised Papers Due 30 Nov - 1 Dec 2015 ACIS Doctoral Consortium 2 - 4 December 2015 ACIS Conference Important Notice: The contents of this email are intended solely for the named addressee and are confidential; any unauthorised use, reproduction or storage of the contents is expressly prohibited.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers -- ISECON 2015 -- Orlando, FL -- November 5-7, 2015 Datum: Thu, 7 May 2015 17:27:44 -0500 Von: Reithel, Brian <breithel(a)bus.olemiss.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Information Systems Education Conference ISECON 2015 November 5-7, 2015 Orlando, Florida Paper submission deadline: May 31, 2015 Dear Colleague, Please consider submitting a paper to ISECON 2015 this year. The ISECON conference has provided a wonderful opportunity for CIS, MIS, IT, and CS faculty members from a wide variety of institutions - including international attendees - to gather, share experiences, and learn from each other since 1982. We continue that legacy of delivering a collegial environment for intellectual and professional growth this year in sunny Orlando, Florida, at the "B Resort and Spa", an official Walt Disney World property. More information about the conference, including the Call for Papers and the online paper submission facility, can be found at: http://www.isecon.org<http://www.isecon.org/> The conference theme for 2015 is "Billions and Trillions: Devices, Data, and Demand for Information Systems in a Connected World". It's clear that the pace of growth of the globally-connected marketplace - now filled with billions of smartphone-slinging, tablet-toting, and laptop-lugging business professionals, consumers, and students generating and consuming trillions of bytes of data every day - will only accelerate the demand for skilled information systems professionals. How will our traditional courses of instruction change to meet this evolving reality? What techniques will bolster faculty success in IS courses as we prepare the IS workforce for the challenges they are likely to face in 2025? What are some of the significant IS operations-related questions that will confront IS professionals in 2025? These and other compelling questions are open for discussion at ISECON 2015! Papers are invited on the following topics and other issues related to expected changes in IS education between now and 2025: * Mobile Applications * HTML5 and Web Application Development * Cloud-based Systems * Scalable Architectures * Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) * Data Warehouse Systems * Big Data and Analytical Systems * NoSQL and Other Emerging Database Technologies * Classical and In-Memory Database Systems * Networking Concepts * Agile Development * Online Learning * Teaching Tools * IS Cases and Case-Based Teaching * Effective Pedagogy for IS Education * Research in Progress * Student Papers * On-Demand Training, Education, and Learning * Accreditation, Assessment, and Curriculum for IS Education * Ethics, Privacy, and Intellectual Property in a Connected World * Globalization and Information Systems * Intelligent Systems * Knowledge Management Systems * Internet of Things * Electronic Commerce * IT Security and Digital Forensics * Emerging Technologies Each year, ISECON benefits from the involvement of a number of repeat attendees as well as new participants. We encourage you to please share the news about this year's conference with anyone you know who might be interested in this long-standing and welcoming academic conference, especially given this year's great location! Thanks and hope to see you in Orlando, Brian Reithel ISECON 2015 Program Chair ------------------------------------------ Brian J.
