-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for papers: IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies - Special issue on Learning Analytics (Feb 1, 2016 Deadline) Datum: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 00:41:41 +0000 Von: Vitomir Kovanovic <v.kovanovic(a)ed.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org **Apologies for cross-postings*** Call for Papers (IEEE TLT) =========================================================================== IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, Special issue on Learning Analytics Guest editors: Dragan Gašević, Carolyn P. Rosé, and George Siemens *** Submission deadline: February 1, 2016 *** The availability of digital data affords unprecedented possibilities for analysis of different aspects of human life. These possibilities have mobilized researchers, practitioners, institutional leaders, policy makers, and technology vendors to look at the ways these data can be used to understand and enhance learning and teaching. This intensive interest has given rise to the formation of the new field of learning analytics. According to the Society for Learning Analytics Research (SoLAR: http://solaresearch.org/), learning analytics is defined as “the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.” The field of learning analytics builds on and links to numerous other disciplines including learning sciences, social network analysis, (educational) data mining, language technologies, machine learning, information visualization, computational thinking and sense-making, (educational, social, cognitive, organizational) psychology, and educational theory. Early results in the field of learning analytics offer much promise in identification of learners at risk of failing or dropping out of a course, understanding of information flow in social interactions, or identification of different cognitive, metacognitive and affective states in discourse and other behavior traces. These results have attracted many institutions to invest in systemic implementation of learning analytics, development of relevant institutional policies, and creation of partnerships with organizations specializing in learning analytics. Data about user interactions with learning technologies are the main resources used in learning analytics. Given the early days in the development of the field of learning analytics, research is necessary to provide more effective methods in order to understand the factors that influence learning as well as to optimize learning outcomes and processes across cognitive, metacognitive, social, and affective dimensions. Moreover, there is a need for theoretically sound and empirically validated frameworks for: - presentation of results of learning analytics to a variety of stakeholders, including decision makers, administrators, instructors and students, - development of novel learning technologies offering effective ways for personalization support and continuous improvement, - systemic institution-wide deployment and implementation of learning analytics, and - ethical and safe use of data and learning analytics that protects user privacy while maximizing wellbeing. This special issue of IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies calls for papers that address the above gaps by reporting on a combination of theoretical/conceptual and empirically validated findings. The accepted papers will contribute to the existing body of research knowledge in the field of learning analytics and will offer a sound empirical base that can motivate and inform practice. The submissions that build bridges of learning analytics with other related disciplines to enhance the impact are especially welcome. Important Dates --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Full manuscripts due: February 1, 2016 - Completion of first review round: June 1, 2016 - Revised manuscripts due: July 31, 2016 - Final decision notification: October 31, 2016 - Publication materials due: November 30, 2016 - Publication of special issue: early 2017 (possibly the Jan-Mar 2017 issue, i.e., vol. 10, no. 1) Submission and Review Process --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies guidelines (http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tlt/author) and submitted via the journal's ScholarOne portal (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tlt-cs), making sure to select the relevant special issue name.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: human computation social computing crowdsourcing crowdfunding wisdom of crowds (e.g., prediction markets) group memory and extended cognition collective decision making and problem-solving participatory and deliberative democracy animal collective behavior organizational design and strategy public policy design (e.g., regulatory reform) ethics of collective intelligence (e.g., "digital sweatshops") computational models of group search and optimization emergence and evolution of intelligence new technologies for making groups smarter Submissions of two types are invited: Reports of original results Demonstrations of tools/technology All submissions should be formatted as four-page extended abstracts (up to 3 pages for content and 1 page for references). LaTex template: ci2016-sample-latex <https://sites.google.com/a/stern.nyu.edu/collective-intelligence-conference…> Word template: ci2016-sample-word <https://sites.google.com/a/stern.nyu.edu/collective-intelligence-conference…>All submission should be converted to PDF at the time of submission. Please click here to submit your the document: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ci20160 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ci20160> In order to encourage a diversity of innovative ideas from a variety of fields, submissions may refer to work that is recently published, under review elsewhere, or in preparation, and may link to up to one publicly accessible paper for the purpose of describing the work in detail. However, submissions will be evaluated solely on the submitted abstract, which must therefore comprise an entirely self-contained description of the work. After review by the Program Committee, a subset of submitted abstracts will be invited for oral presentation with additional presentation as posters and/or demos. A second subset will also be invited exclusively for presentation as posters and/or demos. Authors will not receive detailed feedback from the review process, just an accept/reject decision. The main criteria will be: 1) whether the subject matter is a good fit for the Collective Intelligence conference; 2) whether there are interesting claims made with a promise to present evidence or non-obvious arguments in support of them. The review committee will not assess the validity of the evidence or arguments. Accepted submissions will be compiled into a single report which will be made available to conference participants. We emphasize that abstracts that are distributed to conference participants are not intended to be considered archival publications or to preclude submission of the reported work to archival journals; however, we cannot guarantee that certain journals do not have policies precluding the distribution of extended abstracts. Accepted abstracts will be included as submitted (i.e., submissions should be camera-ready). If your abstract is accepted for presentation or poster session, at least one author has to commit to attending the conference.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - AMCIS 2016 Minitrack: Agile Project Management Datum: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 13:06:39 -0500 Von: Meghann L. Drury-Grogan <mdrury(a)fordham.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *Minitrack: Agile Project Management*within the IT Project Management Track AMCIS 2016: August 11-13 in San Diego, California WE WELCOME YOUR SUBMISSIONS! *Important Dates:* *January 4, 2016:* Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2016 begin *March 2, 2016:* AMCIS manuscript submissions closes for authors at 10:00am PST More information is available at http://amcis2016.aisnet.org/ or by contacting the minitrack chair (contact details below). Description of Agile Project Management Minitrack: Agile methodologies such as eXtreme Programming (XP) and SCRUM strive to reduce the cost of change throughout the software development process and improve development quality and timeliness. Even though there have been many success stories with the adoption of agile methodologies, managers struggle with maintaining agile methodologies in the long-term. They are challenged to align their traditional methodologies and tools to those of agile methodologies. Agile methodologies rely heavily on teams and teamwork. Therefore, management must develop a better understanding of the factors that help teams using agile methodologies drive project success. These may include selecting appropriate personnel for the team; developing effective communication processes for the team; creating an open work environment;ensuring correct decisions are made; implementing appropriate controls; encouraging continuous communication with the customer; and establishing evaluation and reward systems based on individual and team performance. A further difficulty for organizations relates to the management of a potentially diverse range of agile projects at the portfolio level. Agile project portfolio management provides opportunities that a traditional project portfolio would not allow, such as more transparent metrics, frequent management review meetings, and a quicker readjustment of project priorities and resources. *Call for Papers* We are seeking high quality research papers for this track that investigate various aspects of agile project management. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Challenges implementing and sustaining agile methodologies - Managing co-located, virtual and/or distributed agile teams - Decision-making and governance in agile teams - Communication and interaction on agile teams - Controls used in agile teams - Best practices in agile project management - Evaluation and reward systems used by agile teams - Agile project portfolio management - Trends in agile project management *Submission Process* Full paper submissions must be made electronically through Manuscript Central. Papers will be peer reviewed using a double-blind system. Rationale for Minitrack Inclusion Agile methodologies are a large part of IT project management. They strive to reduce the cost of change throughout the software development process and rely heavily on teams and teamwork. Therefore, a better understanding of the factors that help teams using agile methodologies drive project success is needed. Further difficulties for organizations relate to sustaining the use of agile methodologies in the long-term and the management of a potentially diverse range of agile projects at the portfolio level. These and related items will be explored in this minitrack. *Track Chair* Meghann Drury-Grogan, PhD, Chair Fordham University Gabelli School of Business 45 Columbus Avenue, Room 520 New York, NY 10023 USA mdrury(a)fordham.edu _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

Editor in Chief: Prashant Palvia, Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Greensboro, pcpalvia(a)uncg.edu THREE ITEMS: 1. Call for Papers: Of course, we are always interested in quality manuscripts from all parts of the world. Besides being high quality work, at a minimum each submitted article should have the following three components: an IS topic, an international orientation (e.g., cross cultural studies or strong international implications), and strong evidence (e.g., survey data, case studies, secondary data, etc.). The international scope is a must for the journal. Submissions need to be made electronically at http://www.editorialmanager.com/ugit 2. Editorial Review Board. Given the growing success and popularity of the journal, our submissions have tripled in the past year and it is challenging the capacity of the current editorial board. Therefore we are expanding the Editorial Review Board and have several vacancies, especially for scholars from outside USA. If you have an interest and credentials in global IT and would like to serve on the Board, please contact the Editor in Chief at pcpalvia(a)uncg.edu. Please include a 100-word bio with your request. 3. Special Issue: If you or your colleagues would like to propose a special issue of JGITM, please contact the Editor in Chief (EIC) with a proposal. You will have much guidance and assistance in preparing the special issue from the EIC. Each issue typically requires three fully referred articles, an editorial, a professional interview, and a book review. The usual lead time for a special issue is 12-15 months. The theme of the special issue must be in global IT, e.g., a topic area or focus on a world region.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] MINI TRACK: Opportunities and Challenges in Distributed Group Decision-Making Datum: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 20:26:25 +0000 Von: Anil Aggarwal <aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu> An: 'AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Dear Colleagues: After successful track last year, we are continuing with the minitrack: Opportunities and Challenges in Distributed Group Decision-Making. We would like you to submit your research or emerging research to this track. Regards, A. K. Aggarwal, University of Baltimore, aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu Doug Vogel, Harbin Institute of Technology, vogel.doug(a)gmail.com. Yuko Murayama, Iwate Prefectural University, murayama(a)iwate-pu-ac.jp. CALL for Papers for the Mini-track Opportunities and Challenges in Distributed Group Decision-Making http://home.ubalt.edu/ntsbagga/AMCIS_2016.htm Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS 2016) Dates: August 11 - 13, 2016 in beautiful San Diego (Part of the Virtual Communities and Collaboration track ) Emerging issues like big data, data analytics, visual analytics, data mining, crowd--sourcing, e-government, e-health and m-commerce are giving new meaning to distributed decision making. In addition, recent outbreak of Ebola epidemic, missing Malaysian flight 17, earthquake in Japan are only some of the examples of swift virtual teams requiring collaboration. Coordination among individuals with varying skills is becoming common. Gartner group predicts that virtual distributed teams will become norm in the future. These teams must be able to adapt quickly to the changing environment be it face-to-face, mobile or in the cloud. Agile teams adapt and deliver quickly and provide maximum customer satisfaction. Can distributed teams be agile and adaptable? This requires careful team configuration. This mini-track examines the emerging issues related to team configuration and performance in distributed environment. Some research related to outsourcing of structured tasks has been done, but research related to emerging issues like diversity, cohesiveness, agility and adaptability related to group collaboration across semi or unstructured tasks is still emerging. Examples of topics in the discussion of globally distributed decision making mini-track will include the following (but are not limited to): • Smart technologies in distributed system collaboration • Swift team collaboration • Sub groups impact on team collaboration • Diversity impact on group collaboration • Big data collaboration • E-government(s) inter- , intra-collaboration • Collaboration through crowdsourcing • Public-private collaboration • Delivering health services through collaboration • Economics of distributed decision making in the clouds • Trust and distrust as motivator in distributed decision making • Agile/Adaptable team configuration in globally distributed teams • The “e (internet)” to “m (mobile)” transformation of globally distributed teams • Diversity issues in globally distributed teams • Customer satisfaction, performance and “trust” building in globally distributed teams • Synchronous and asynchronous decision making in globally distributed teams • Comparison of issues across internal, inter-, intra and offshore distributed teams • Knowledge creation, transfer and integration across globally distributed teams • Leadership/cohesiveness issues in globally distributed teams • Issues related to functional and dysfunctional globally distributed teams • Security, privacy and risk associated with globally distributed teams • Case Studies (success/failures) related to decision making by globally distributed teams Contact Information for Mini-Track Chair: A. K. Aggarwal, University of Baltimore, aaggarwal(a)ubalt.edu Doug Vogel, Harbin Institute of Technology, vogel.doug(a)gmail.com Yuko Murayama, Iwate Prefectural University, murayama(a)iwate-pu-ac.jp January 4, 2016: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS 2016 begin March 2, 2016 (10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time): Deadline for paper submissions Instructions for Authors: Submissions may be of two types: • Completed research papers (< 5000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) • Research-in-progress papers (< 3500 words, excluding references, tables, and figures) All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amcis2016.
