paradigms, cultural evolutions, and management practices that foster
innovation in emerging next-generation digital-centric businesses. A few
examples of these digital platforms are Uber, Airbnb, Skype, Kindle, Apple,
Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MOOCs, and LinkedIn.
Firms must increasingly turn their attention to innovatively embracing the
promise of technological developments such as e-commerce, cloud computing,
mobile, big data, Internet of Things, social technologies, and cognitive
solutions that shape their business strategies and competitive positions.
They must also address the changing preferences and demands of customers and
society. The emerging complex and dynamic business environment offers
several new opportunities, but it also comes with significant risks.
This special issue of IT Professional seeks to examine the digital
innovation and strategic transformation that is driving industry,
government, and society. It will showcase innovative smart services, digital
products, and platforms; discuss current issues, challenges, and practices;
and look to future prospects. We seek high-quality articles focused on these
areas from industry, business, academia, and government. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to the following:
* Digital business models
* Digital innovation as a service
* Cognitive business
* Cultural change and human factors
* The Internet of Me, Things, and Everything
* Platform revolution and economics
* Design for analytics

CALL FOR PAPERS
9th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems
(FOIS 2016)
July 6-9, 2016, University of Savoie, Annecy (France)
website: http://iaoa.org/fois2016
contact: fois2016(a)easychair.org
IMPORTANT DATES:
FOIS Paper Submission Deadline: Jan 31, 2016
FOIS Notification: Mar 31, 2016
Conference Date: Jul 6-9, 2016
DEFINITION AND SCOPE
Formal ontology for information systems is now a research focus in such
diverse domains as conceptual modeling, database design, software
engineering, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, the life
sciences, bioinformatics, geographic information science, knowledge
engineering, information retrieval, and the semantic web. Researchers in
all these areas increasingly recognize the need for serious engagement
with ontology to provide a foundation for their work, where ontology is
understood as a general theory of the types of entities and relations
making up domains of enquiry.
The FOIS conference provides a meeting point for researchers from all
disciplines with an interest in formal ontology. The conference encourages
submission of high quality articles on both theoretical issues and
concrete applications. As in previous years, FOIS 2016 is intended as a
nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication. It is the flagship
conference of the International Association for Ontology and its
Applications (IAOA, http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit organization
promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at
the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive
science, and computer science, as well as in the applications of
ontological analysis to conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering,
knowledge management, information-systems development, library and
information science, scientific research, and semantic technologies in
general.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
(details in http://www.iaoa.org/fois2016/index.php?n=Main.Program)
Friederike Moltmann (IHPST, Paris, France & New York University, USA)
Stephen Mumford (University of Nottingham, UK)
Gilberto Câmara (National Institute for Space Research, Brazil)
TOPICS OF INTEREST
We seek high-quality papers on a wide range of topics. Concerning scope,
an ideal FOIS paper will address both content-related ontological issues
and their formal modeling, as well as their impact and relevance for some
aspects of information systems. Areas of particular interest to the
conference include the following:
Foundational Issues
* Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents,
abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural
objects/artifacts
* Formal relations: parthood, identity, connection, dependence,
constitution, causality, subsumption, instantiation
* Vagueness and granularity
* Space, time, and change
Methodological issues
* Role of reference ontologies
* Top-level vs. domain-specific ontologies
* Relationship with cognition, language and semantics
* Formal comparison among ontologies
* Ontology integration and alignment
Domain-specific ontologies
* Ontology of physical reality (matter, space, time, motion, etc.)
* Ontology of biological reality (genes, proteins, cells, organisms, etc.)
* Ontology of mental reality and agency (beliefs, intentions, emotions,
percepts, etc.)
* Ontology of artifacts, functions and roles
* Ontology of social reality (institutions, organizations, norms, social
relationships, artistic expressions, languages, etc.)
* Ontology of perception (human and artificial)
Applications
* Ontology-driven information systems design
* Ontological foundations for conceptual modeling
* Knowledge management
* Qualitative modeling
* Computational linguistics
* Information retrieval
* Semantic Web, web services
* Ontology and the Internet of Things: Smart Networked Systems and
Societies
* Ontology for Big Data
* Business modeling
* Ontologies for particular scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry,
geography, physics, cognitive sciences, linguistics etc.)
* Ontologies for engineering: shape, form and function, artifacts,
manufacturing, design, architecture, etc.
* Ontologies for the humanities: arts, cultural studies, history, law,
literature, philosophy, etc.

Theme
***************
While the publishing market is in the midst of a dramatic transformation
(from newspapers to book publishers), the segment of academic publishing
(the incumbents) on the surface appears to be still relatively stable.
Yet we have witnessed a plethora of innovations across the life cycle of
publishing and archiving. SSRN, Google scholar, ResearchGate, Academia.edu,
Mendeley, Open Access journals are only the visible tip of the iceberg of
new players and indeed new services and modes of publishing. These few
examples convey the impression that disruptive innovations are under way and
many of the established themes of digital transformation - business model
and service innovation, disintermediation, cybermediation, ProSuming, new
pricing models - become discernible in distinct ways in this industry.
The change and disruption have become visible across numerous dimensions:
1) the search of scientific knowledge has become more interactive and web
based. Search of knowledge is nowadays based on topics, names of authors,
visibility while in the past was based on journals;
2) the publication process is not anymore under the control by scientific
publishers. The shift to the web disrupted many of the physical barriers
intrinsic of a paper based market;
3) the publication infrastructure has become less monolithic and more
fragmented with many services provided under a multitude of business models
(among others, there is a number of free (quality) services offered by an
increasing number of stakeholders: Google Scholar, Mendeley, ResearchGate
etc.);
4) new internet-based reputation mechanisms were born and are being
explored;
5) transparency of scientific data and the results is increasingly required
for publishing work;
6) growth of "massively collaborative science" and "citizen science"
impacting organization of research.
In light of these developments, we are inviting submission for a special
issue of Electronic Markets to take stock of the transformation, identify
and articulate distinctive patterns of change in this market, but also
foresight studies or thought pieces.
The special issue will provide a link across different levels of analysis:
- industry and infrastructure
- firm and network strategy
- authors, readers and changing practices of content production and
consumption
Central topics
***************
Possible topics of submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Industry view
--- Scholarly communication stakeholders / ecosystem (author, reader,
reviewer, editor, publisher, libraries, universities, state ...)
--- Transformation of competition in the academic publishing market: new
entrants, shifting market power, increasing transparency
--- Competitive strategies
--- Dis-, re-, cybermediation in the academic publishing market
--- The economics of rankings: quality metric, performance metric, market
signal
- Content production view
--- The transformation of the production chain: new roles and linkages among
the members of the ecosystem
--- The transformation of academic knowledge production and publishing based
on digital infrastructures
--- Prosuming authors: the multiple roles of authors ...
- Service design and innovation
-- Components of the digital production chain
--- The role and transformation of rankings, impact factors etc.
- Transformation of existing (incumbents') business models
--- Pricing models (status, trends)
--- Value propositions of publishers/ intermediaries
- Disruptive innovation
--- Open content/ open access as disruptor
--- New formats and genre of academic publications
We encourage contributions with a broad range of methodological approaches,
including conceptual pieces, case studies, empirical studies, literature
reviews. If you are interested in opinion pieces (position papers), please
contact the guest editors. We would also like to welcome authors publishing
on the topic of academic publishing with reference to electronic markets and
networked businesses.
We further welcome contributions addressing related topics not listed above
(please contact the special issue editors in that case to discuss the fit
prior to submission).
All papers will be peer reviewed and should conform to Electronic Markets
publication standards. Electronic Markets is a SSCI-listed journal and
supports methodological and theoretical pluralism, i.e. empirical or
theoretical work, qualitative research and design science are all welcome by
the journal. If you would like to discuss any aspect of the special issue,
please contact the guest editors

Successful collaboration and communication between stakeholders are key
factors in the development of complex software systems. The use of formal
methods in this context offers rigor and precision, while reducing
ambiguity and inconsistency. However problems of readability and
comprehensibility pose objective barriers hindering the adoption of formal
methods in industry. These aspects become even more crucial in large-scale
projects, where professionals with different technical and cultural
backgrounds have to collaborate. The aim of this workshop is to initiate a
discourse on bridging the gap between the usefulness and applicability of
formal methods in innovative Software Engineering.
*Areas of interest include but are not limited to**:*
· Collaborative aspects of formal methods in conceptual modelling,
specification, and design
· Collaborative aspects of testing, verification and validation of
systems
· Collaborative aspects of global requirements engineering
· Formal methods in global requirements engineering
· Standardisation of formal methods
· Formal methods in/for cloud computing
· Formal ontologies for software engineering
· Comprehensibility and readability of formal methods in software
engineering
· Formal methods for handling uncertainty, vagueness, inconsistency
· Usability, scalability and complexity hiding of formal methods tools
· Formal methods for cyber-physical systems
· Formal methods for sustainability
· Cross-disciplinary automation of formal methods
· Innovations and improvements of formal methods and tools
· Industrial application of formal methods
· Successful case studies on formal methods in collaborative projects

Betreff: [AISWorld] Sysiac special issue TOC – Design & Practice
Datum: Wed, 6 Jan 2016 10:02:15 +0000
Von: Göran Goldkuhl <goran.goldkuhl(a)liu.se>
An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
A special issue on “Design & Practice” has been published in Systems, Signs & Actions (www.sysiac.org<http://www.sysiac.org/>).
The following papers papers are published in this special issue (Vol 9, 2015):
Göran Goldkuhl
Editorial: The design of practice and the practice of design
This editorial investigates the common assumption that design science research is defined as the design of artifacts. A broader view – design of a practice with embedded artifacts – is contrasted to this common assumption. The editorial also investigates the views that DSR is mainly a design practice vs. a research practice. Arguments are presented for a combined view emphasising regular scientific activities, such as theorizing and empirical data collection.
Rob Gleasure:
When is a problem a design science problem?
This paper investigates the types of research problem for which Design Science Research is suitable. This requires that DSR approaches are compared and contrasted with intervention-free empirical approaches, in order to determine the strengths and weakness of each approach. From this distinction, three guidelines are presented to allow Information Systems researchers to identify appropriate research problems for DSR. These three guidelines are discussed in the context of the IS design literature, and illustrated using examples of existing DSR studies.
Patrick Brandtner, Markus Helfert, Andreas Auinger and Kurt Gaubinger:
Conducting focus group research in a design science project: Application in developing a process model for the front end of innovation
This paper applies and tests the focus group procedure by Tremblay et al. in the setting of a design science study on the Front End of Innovation. The main results of the paper are an empirical testing of the Tremblay et al. method and proposed modifications of this method based on said testing. These results confirm that focus groups, conducted in compliance with said method, can be of great use in design science projects to support refining and evaluating artifacts.
Christian Tornack, Björn Pilarski and Matthias Schumann:
Decision support for succession management – Results from a multi-grounded design science research project
This paper employs multi-grounded design science research to develop design principles for succession management systems. Design principles are deduced based on meta-requirements from principal agent theory and an interview study. Subsequently, these principles are tested by developing and empirically evaluating a mockup and a prototypical instantiation. In result, design principles are provided for succession management systems, which are verified through two empirical evaluations.
Jenny Lagsten and Malin Nordström:
Evaluating an IT Governance model-in-use
This paper suggests an evaluation method for comparing an ideal IT Governance model (the model-in-concept) with the corresponding use of the model in daily operations (the model-in-use). The concept of model rationale has been applied in order to express the logic of the model-in-concept as intended by the model developers. In an action research study it is shown how the ITG evaluation method was developed and tested as part of an evaluation of the deployment and use of an ITG model in a large healthcare organisation.
Systems, Signs & Actions (Sysiac) is a true open access journal; free for authors and free for readers. Sysiac is an IS journal devoted to the study of information technology, communication, action and workpractices. Submissions are welcome!
