-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [WI] Cfp AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS ws “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” Datum: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 08:42:28 +0100 Von: Markus Helfert <markus.helfert(a)computing.dcu.ie> An: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de Call for Papers AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS workshop on ”Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts” December 12, 2015, Fort Worth, Texas, USA Background – pragmatic perspectives There have been many calls in the information systems (IS) community for a stronger pragmatic focus. This can be seen in a growing interest for research approaches and methods in IS that emphasize contribution to practice and collaboration between the practice and academia. Action research, which aims for knowledge development through collaboration and intervention in real settings, is achieving more and more academic credibility (Baskerville & Myers, 2004; Davison et al, 2004). This can also be said about design science research that aims for the generation of new and useful artifacts (Hevner et al, 2004; Gregor & Jones, 2007). Research through evaluation has had a long and venerable place in IS research (Ward et, 1996; Serafeimidis & Smithson, 2003). Several approaches and frameworks that combine or integrate elements from the above-mentioned approaches have also emerged, e.g. practice research (Goldkuhl, 2011), collaborative practice research (Mathiassen, 2002), practical science (Gregor, 2008), engaged scholarship (Mathiassen & Nielsen, 2008), action design research (Sein et al, 2011) and technical action research (Wieringa & Morali, 2012). Underlying these different approaches is a quest for practical relevance of the conducted research (Benbasat & Zmud, 1999; Van de Ven, 2007; Wieringa, 2010). It is not enough to only “mirror” the world through descriptions and explanations but a pragmatic orientation recognizes intervention and design as a way of knowing and a means for building knowledge about social and institutional phenomena (Aakhus, 2007). There is a need for knowledge of other epistemic kinds that contributes more clearly to the improvement of IS practices. A pragmatic orientation can also be seen in the increasing interest in the conceptualization of practices, activities, agency and actions. Practice theorizing has gained an increased attention in IS studies (Orlikowski, 2008; Leonardi, 2011). There has been an interest for agency and action oriented theories in IS for quite some time; e.g. activity theory (Nardi, 1996), structuration theory (Orlikowski, 1992), social action theorizing (Hirschheim et al, 1996), human agency theorizing (Boudreau & Robey, 2005) and language action perspective (Winograd & Flores, 1986). From this follows also an interest for social and pragmatic views of the IT artifact (Aakhus & Jackson, 2005). This includes views of the IT artifact as contextually embedded and carriers of those social contexts (Orlikowski & Iacono, 2001) and such artifacts being tools for action and communication (Ågerfalk, 2003; Markus & Silver, 2008). Design research practice and the contributions to practice through appropriation of knowledge and methods and the contributions to academia through knowledge artifacts has been discussed (Donnellan, Sjöström, Helfert, 2012). This enhanced practice and action orientation follows a growing awareness within IS scholars towards pragmatism as a research foundation (e.g. Goles & Hirschheim, 2000; Ågerfalk, 2010; Goldkuhl, 2012). It is not the case that IS scholars suddenly become pragmatists in their research orientation. It is rather the case that there is move from an implicit pragmatism to an explicit one (Goldkuhl, 2012). For a long time IS scholars have addressed practical problems with an interest for improvement. That interest has led to the extensive development of methods, models and constructive frameworks for not only the design of IT artifacts, but also related to several other IS/IT phenomena like e.g. innovation management, business process management, project management, IT service management just to mention a few. These methods actually reveal an on-going search for knowledge of other epistemic kinds for advancing understanding of information technology, information systems, and practice. Workshop focus This AIS SIGPRAG Pre-ICIS workshop has a general orientation towards pragmatic perspectives on IS as described above. The focus is on “Practice-based Design and Innovation of Digital Artifacts”. This means an emphasis on digital artifacts as embedded in social practices and carriers of elements in such practices. It emphasizes also the innovative nature of designing new artifacts and new practices. The workshop acknowledges different sub-themes within this broad workshop theme: · Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts · Ways to conceptualize and describe practices · Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts · The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices Topics within these sub-themes are described below. Workshop purpose This workshop is arranged in the same spirit and a continuation of earlier successful SIGPRAG workshops on “Practice research”, “IT Artifact Design & Workpractice Improvement” and “Action Research & Design Research Integrations”. This SIGPRAG workshop intends to bring scholars and practitioners together for a knowledge exchange and development on research foundations and practical contributions concerning the design and innovation of digital artifacts and practices. The SIGPRAG workshop is intended to be a developmental arena with thoughtful and constructive feedback from reviews and comments on site. The workshop should be a place where you can present ideas in papers and get fruitful feedback for further development of the papers. A developmental arena means also taking responsibility for pushing contributions further to high-quality journal publications. From earlier SIGPRAG workshops (ADWI-2012, ADWI-2013 and ADWI-2014) several papers have been pushed further into special issues in the open access journal Systems, Signs & Actions. At least one special issue will be arranged in Systems, Signs & Actions inviting promising papers from this SIGPRAG workshop. The theme will be decided on later. We will possibly also work with some other outlet for another special issue. This depends on the outcome of the workshop. Topics The workshop can include papers from diverse fields of IS. Topics following the identified workshop sub-themes are listed below. Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; empirical research approaches such as: · Practice research · Action research · Design science research · Action design research · Case study research · Evaluation research · Discourse analysis · Pragmatic inquiries · Practitioner – research collaborations Ways to research practice-based design and innovation of digital artifacts; knowledge creation approaches such as: · Design theory development · Method design/refinement · Grounded theory development · Multi-grounded theory development · Practical theory development Ways to conceptualize and describe practices; for example: · Symbolic interaction · Language action · Socio-materiality · Institutionalism · Actor-networks · Infrastructure evolution · Socio-instrumentalism · Distributed cognition · Distributed agency Ways to conceptualize and describe digital artifacts; for example: · Ensemble view · Socio-technical view · Contextual view · Functional tool view · Affordance view · Communicative action view The processes of innovation and design of digital artifacts and practices; for example aspects such as: · Innovation strategies · Openness in innovation · Design thinking · Collaborative design · Stakeholder interactions (power-playing vs. value balancing and informed consensus building) · Practice understanding and diagnosis · Wicked problems · Problem formulation · Values and goals articulation · Idea generation · Idea capture · Design conversations · Idea visualization (modeling, prototyping) · Strategies for testing and evaluation Dates and submission details Submissions: September 30, 2015 Notification: October 31, 2015 Final manuscripts: November 30, 2015 Workshop: December 12, 2015 The workshop website is http://sigprag.net/.

Kushni**ru**k** (ACMI Fellow)* School of Health Information Science, University of Victoria Victoria, Canada Email: andrek(a)uvic.ca <%20andrek(a)uvic.ca> This special issue of the KM&EL international journal is dedicated to coverage of advances in the emerging area of eHealth literacy. Methods for assessing the extent to which people can find, understand and use health information obtained from electronic sources (i.e. eHealth literacy) are needed in order to improve the effectiveness of healthcare in the age of mobile and virtual healthcare. Indeed an increasing number of information systems and resources have been designed for use by the general population as well as specific patient and lay populations such as the elderly, disabled and the young. However, there currently exists a huge range of systems and health IT applications and the extent to which they meet the information and understanding needs of end users is often questionable. Indeed many health systems, websites and on-line resources have been criticized for not only lack of usability but also for issues related to the content of information, its understandability, its usefulness and its presentation. In addition, new methods (that can draw from areas such as health literacy, as well as user-centered and participatory health IT design processes) are needed to fine-tune and improve the uptake of information presented to users in order to improve the health of the general population. In this call we invite papers that describe advances in understanding health literacy as it relates to use of on-line health resources and the concept of eHealth literacy itself. In addition, the special issue is interested in new approaches to improving health and eHealth literacy, and improving the adoption of systems and information resources targeted to patients, lay people and the general population, as well as specific subgroups (such as the elderly, disabled and young people). This can be through improved educational initiatives as well as improved system and information resource design and evaluation. Studies evaluating health and eHealth literacy using information technologies are also welcome. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - eHealth literacy as a concept - The relation of eHealth literacy to health literacy research - Advances in the application of concepts from eHealth literacy in the design and deployment of new information technologies - Research on the potential and opportunities for improving the uptake of health related information using eHealth, web technologies, mobile health applications and virtual health applications - Approaches to measuring and assessing eHealth literacy - Approaches to assessing user needs regarding health information and its understanding and translation into practice - Approaches to designing health information systems for the public that better take into account the information needs, understanding, capacity as well as limitations of end users - Best practices for incorporating advanced health information technology into daily health practices and promotion. - Approaches and technologies for providing distance health information and support to lay people and patients - Results of studies examining eHealth literacy - Educational practices and approaches to improving eHealth literacy - New developments, trends and approaches to e-learning and distance education of the general public that takes into consideration eHealth literacy This issue is designed to elicit both theoretical and applied papers that describe efforts around eHealth literacy. We are interested in both theoretical and applied papers that aim to improve healthcare and specifically improve uptake of health information by the wider population using information technologies and online resources. 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: 15th September, 2015 Notification of acceptance: 15th November, 2015 Publication schedule: December, 2015 (Vol. 7. No. 4) *Submission Instructions* Electronic submission by email to the Guest Editor is required ( andrek(a)uvic.ca). Papers must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently be under consideration for publication elsewhere. A standard double-blind review process will be used for selecting papers to be published in this special issue.

Deploying confidential information and critical IT resources in the Cloud raises concerns about vulnerability to attack, especially because of the anonymous, multi-tenant nature of cloud computing. Applications and storage volumes often reside next to potentially hostile virtual environments, leaving information at risk to theft, unauthorized exposure or malicious manipulation. Governmental regulation of data privacy and location presents the additional concern of significant legal and financial consequences if data confidentiality is breached, or if Cloud providers inadvertently move regulated data across international borders. This workshop aims to provide a fertile ground for creative debate and presentation of research results, practical experiences, and innovative ideas in all security aspects related to cloud computing. CloudSPD'15 focuses on Cloud Computing security, and invites research efforts from both the academia and industry in order to facilitate the dissemination of research and development of the next generation cloud platforms, applications and methods that will lead to better and more secure by design cloud-based systems. TOPICS Topics of interest comprise, but are not limited to, the following categories: * Cloud Security by design frameworks * Intra- and inter-cloud security issues * Privacy policies for clouds * Secure management of virtualized resources * Privacy Enforcement for cloud applications and platforms * Trusted computing technology * Cloud access control and key management * Computation over encrypted data * Secure cloud architecture * Data protection and secured information sharing in the cloud *Submissions* ** Submitted manuscripts should be structured as technical papers and may not exceed six (6) single-spaced double-column pages using 10-point size font on 8.5×11 inch pages (IEEE conference style), including figures, tables, and references. Electronic submissions must be in the form of a readable PDF file. Manuscripts must be received by */August 28, 2015/* (extended). All manuscripts will be blind peer reviewed by the Program Committee and evaluated on originality, relevance of the problem to the conference theme, technical strength, rigor in analysis, quality of results, and organization and clarity of presentation of the paper. Submissions will be done electronically through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cloudspd15 *At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the UCC 2015 conference and present the paper in order to be published in the proceedings*.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP--Special Issue on Big Data and Information Security Management (JIPS) Datum: Wed, 19 Aug 2015 19:40:41 -1000 Von: Tawei (David) Wang <twwang(a)hawaii.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *Journal of Information Privacy and Security Special Issue on Big Data and Information Security Management* With the advance in information technology, companies nowadays are able to collect more information from the public or from the potential/existing customers, such as purchasing activities, discussion of products or usage videos. These pieces of information flow into the company faster than before and in huge amount and different formats. However, recent high profile information security breach incidents have raised ever-increasing concerns regarding how companies access, manage and use the collected information. This special issue attempts to address current practices, opportunities and challenges brought by big data in the context of information security management. Specifically, the special issue will consider original research articles from different perspectives and different methodologies that cover the following subjects (but are not limited to): - What kind of information do companies collect? What are the related management policies? What are the new techniques and processes companies use to store, integrate and exploit the information? - What are the new opportunities and challenges of big data on information governance? How does the governance and management structure affect the collection and the exploitation of new information? What are the risks associated with the new techniques and processes for the companies? - What are the privacy concerns and ethical issues related to the collection and management of the information? What are the corresponding laws and regulations or the governmental role? - Does the collection and integration of new information provide additional opportunities when assessing information security risks or the corresponding consequences? *Important Dates:* Submission Due: September 1, 2016 Revision Due: February 28, 2017 Final Manuscript Due: May 31, 2017 Acceptance Notification: June 15, 2017 *Guest Editors:* Tawei (David) Wang University of Hawaii at Manoa Honolulu, HI, USA Carol Hsu National Taiwan University Taipei, Taiwan _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

All manuscripts are accepted based on a double-blind peer review editorial process. ARTICLE 1 Building Data Warehouses Using Automation Nayem Rahman (Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, OR, USA), Dale Rutz (Intel Corporation, Santa Clara, CA, USA) Software development is a complex endeavor. While significant benefits can be achieved, the process is often laborious, time consuming and error prone requiring multiple iterations in order to achieve the desired result. Issues arise for numerous reasons - coding defects, unclear requirements, migration challenges, lack of convention, and inadequate testing to name a few. When convention and automation are introduced into the software development lifecycle there are significantly fewer opportunities for failure. Automation also allows for shorter development windows. Generally there are fewer errors throughout testing, with the bulk of those being found in unit and functional testing, far before the users get involved in systems acceptance testing. A data warehouse consists of multiple subject areas in which many tasks are common and should be automated for the sake of efficiency and enforcing convention. This article discusses a set of tools that can be used to automate writing data warehouse objects. The article also provides statistics of time saved using automation.

Senthilnayaki (Department of Information Science and Technology, Anna University, Chennai, India), K. Venkatalakshmi (Department of Electronic and Communication Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, India), A. Kannan (Department of Information Science and Technology, Anna University, Chennai, India) E-Learning is a fast, just-in-time, and non-linear learning process, which is now widely applied in distributed and dynamic environments such as the World Wide Web. Ontology plays an important role in capturing and disseminating the real world knowledge for effective human computer interactions. However, engineering of domain ontologies is very labor intensive and time consuming. Some machine learning methods have been explored for automatic or semi-automatic discovery of domain ontologies. Nevertheless, both the accuracy and the computational efficiency of these methods need to be improved. While constructing large scale ontology for real-world applications such as e-learning, the ability to monitor the progress of students' learning performance is a critical issue. In this paper, a system is proposed for analyzing students' knowledge level obtained using Kolb's classification based on the students level of understanding and their learning style using cluster analysis. This system uses fuzzy logic and clustering algorithms to arrange their documents according to the level of their performance. Moreover, a new domain ontology discovery method is proposed uses contextual information of the knowledge sources from the e-Learning domain. This proposed system constructs ontology to provide an effective assistance in e-Learning. The proposed ontology discovery method has been empirically tested in an e-Learning environment for teaching the subject Database Management Systems. The salient contributions of this paper are the use of Jaccard Similarity measure and K-Means clustering algorithm for clustering of learners and the use of ontology for concept understanding and learning style identification. This helps in adaptive e-learning by providing suitable suggestions for decision making and it uses decision rules for providing intelligent e-Learning.

Dhanakoti (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, SRM Valliammai Engineering College, Chennai, India), R. Nedunchezhian (Department of Computer Science and Engineering, KIT - Kalaignarkarunanidhi Institute of Technology, Coimbatore, India) A serious blow to the security of World Wide Web is the escalation in synchronized system assaults like Hoax, Blended Threats, Worms, IP Scanning, Trojan Horses, Denial of Service (DOS) and Sniffer assaults. It might not be a wonder that by allowing all the contestants in Intrusion Recognition Systems (IRS) sharing doubtful intellect with one another in order to shape a worldwide view of the existing risks. Since existing Collective Intrusion Recognition System (CIRS) algorithms are not capable of calculating complex attacks in a timely manner, a rationalized multilayered red alarm connection for collective intrusion recognition intelligent algorithm was built for CIRS to tackle these confronts. A multilayered red alarm connection grouping algorithm is used to mine the important intrusion prototypes from unrefined intrusion alarms. Twin phase association algorithms are modified and used, so that it groups alarm at every IRS, before exposing important alarm prototypes to a world wide web.

Vaidehi (Department of Electronics Engineering, Madras Institute of Technology, Chennai, India) The uncertainty of decision making in event hierarchies of CEP can be due to unreliable data sources, lack of conformance that the event which is reported has actually occurred. Also the Complex Event models which are used to define complex events are inaccurate. When the uncertain event is used for deriving complex event, it propagates its uncertainty to a higher level of event hierarchy and causes uncertainty in reasoning. This paper proposes an event refinement model based on statistical approach to augment the events to minimize the error due to uncertainty for better decision making. The proposed augmented CEP (a-CEP) is found to perform better in terms of reduction in false alarm for continuous monitoring of patient in a remote health care application. The proposed model is implemented on Drools Fusion CEP Engine using Java and it is found that the proposed a-CEP gives better results in terms of accuracy.
