Reviews completed on a rolling basis The nature and scope of the Information Security field has evolved over the past several years. No longer are we just concerned with protecting the technical edifice. Our emphasis has become more holistic and we tend to consider all aspects of information protection as central to the field of security. The Annual Security Conference provides a forum for discourses in Security, Assurance and Privacy that will define the moment and provide a useful basis for nurturing further dialogues. Contributions in the form of research papers, panel proposals and case studies are invited. All submissions are peer reviewed and considered for publication in the Journal of Information System Security ( http://www.jissec.org), European Journal of Management Studies and Information and Computer Security.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers - AMCIS 2017 Mini-Track on Information Systems and Positive Organizational Scholarship Datum: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 20:49:58 +0000 Von: Fulk, Dr. H. Kevin <hkfulk(a)tarleton.edu> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS) focuses on "what is positive, flourishing, and life-giving in organizations" (Cameron and Caza 2004, p. 7), and investigates ideas such as compassion, virtuousness, wisdom, resilience, relationship quality, and employee personal growth. POS research is emerging, as exemplified by special issues in respected journals like AMR and JBE. Current IS research trends - such as building a bright society (JAIS special issue call) and societal challenges (MISQ special issue published) - are decidedly humanistic in focus and align well with POS. We contend that research at the intersection of POS and IS offers opportunities for the IS discipline to make additional, distinctive contributions, including answering recent calls to use IS to make the world a better place (Walsham 2012). This mini-track aims to stimulate IS researchers to engage in studying POS-related phenomena. All methodological approaches, including quantitative and qualitative approaches, as well as theoretical papers, are welcome. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: 1. Individual humility in the networked world. 2. Practicing respect in virtual teams. 3. Technological challenges to, and opportunities for, fostering human flourishing. 4. Harnessing organizational wisdom using IT. 5. IT as a source of organizational vitality. 6. The influence of expressing care and concern using IT on quality of relationships with organizational stakeholders. 7. Building positive organizations using IT. 8. IT affordances' roles in positive leaders' empowerment of employees. 9. IT's influence on the generation and practice of organizational virtues. 10. Sociomaterial conceptions of ethical organizing. Important Dates: * January 9, 2017: ScholarOne opens for Completed and ERF paper submissions * March 1, 2017: ScholarOne closes for Completed and ERF paper submissions * April 17, 2017: Notification of initial decisions on Completed and ERF paper submissions * April 25, 2017: Camera ready submissions due on Completed Research and ERFs This Mini-Track is part of the Advances in Management Information Systems Research track.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] KM&EL CFP: Special Issue on Concept Mapping & Pedagogic Frailty Datum: Mon, 28 Nov 2016 11:22:05 +0800 Von: maggie wang <maggiemhwang(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call for Papers Knowledge Management & E-Learning (KM&EL) (Indexed by SCOPUS) Special Issue on “Concept Mapping & Pedagogic Frailty” Guest Editors Prof. Ian M. Kinchin Department of Higher Education, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK Email: i.kinchin(a)surrey.ac.uk Prof. Paulo R. M. Correia School of Arts, Sciences & Humanities, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil Email: prmc(a)usp.br This special issue of the KM&EL international journal is dedicated to exploration of the potential of pedagogic frailty and its components as revealed through concept mapping. The idea of pedagogic frailty (Kinchin, 2015) has been developed to promote a simultaneous focus on a number of key factors that contribute to teaching development and the enhancement of the student learning experience. These factors include the values discourse that underpins teaching, the relationship between the discipline and its pedagogy, the role of the research-teaching nexus and the locus of control that determines how teaching is organized and regulated. The key to determining pedagogic frailty is the ways in which these dimensions are connected (Figure 1). In this regard, the application of concept mapping has been crucial – showing the variability in interpretation from one discipline to another and one academic to another (Kinchin et al., 2016). Figure 1: The dimensions of pedagogic frailty.(see http://kmel-lab.org/website/pdf/CPF2017_9_3_Figure1.pdf) In this call we invite papers that explore advances in the theorization and application of pedagogic frailty as revealed by Novakian concept mapping in post-compulsory education. Papers should contribute to discussion about the enhancement of the student experience and/or the professional development of university teachers. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • - Interrogation of the pedagogic frailty model – in part or in whole • - Enhancement of academic/faculty development through concept mapping • - Developing a shared values literacy through concept mapping • - Describing the values systems that underpin university teaching • - Academic professional identities • - Autoethnography as method in constructing teacher narratives • - Teaching issues faced by international faculty • - Teacher agency vs. pedagogic frailty • - Ecological models of teacher development • - Visualising teaching discourse through concept mapping • - Relating the structure of disciplines to conceptions of teaching • - The application of frailty profiles in institutional development • - Examination of the structure of the research-teaching nexus • - The role of disciplinary threshold concepts within knowledge structures • - Examining quality assurance of university teaching • - Examining causes of stress and burnout among university teachers • - Exploring the nature of teacher resilience This issue is designed to elicit both theoretical and applied papers that describe efforts to consider the enhancement of university teaching through the lens of Novakian concept mapping and/or pedagogic frailty in novel contexts using innovative theoretical frameworks that will help to embed the model into academic practice more widely. For informal discussions about the suitability of potential submissions, please contact the special issue editors, i.kinchin(a)surrey.ac.uk or prmc(a)usp.br. References: 1. Kinchin, I. M. (2015).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP-AMCIS 2017: IS Security and Privacy in Developing, Emerging, and Transition Economies Datum: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 14:48:10 +0000 Von: Romilla Syed <Romilla.Syed(a)umb.edu> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Call For Papers AMCIS 2017 August 10-12, 2017, Boston, MA, USA Mini-Track Title: IS Security and Privacy in Developing, Emerging, and Transition Economies Track: Information Systems Security and Privacy (SIGSec) Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2017 https://amcis2017.aisnet.org/ Mini-Track Description Today, organizations' operations depend on reliable information and robust information systems, thus preventing failure and managing a healthy status of information processes has become an important management issue. Organizations also need to build secure channels for information sharing to be able to engage in profitable global collaborations. Developing, emerging, and transition economies play an important role in such collaborations, but existing research puts little attention to the distinctive IS security and privacy issues in these environments. The different business, social, and legal environments of less developed economies might raise other IS security and privacy challenges and require new theoretical models and management practices than those known from the research to date.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP for LTB 2017: Load Testing and Benchmarking of Software Systems @ ICPE Datum: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 13:11:44 +0000 Von: Johannes Kroß <kross(a)fortiss.org> An: AISWORLD(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWORLD(a)lists.aisnet.org> ======================================================================= The Sixth International Workshop on Load Testing and Benchmarking of Software Systems (LTB 2017) Co-located with ICPE 2017 April 23, 2017 L'Aquila, Italy http://ltb2017.eecs.yorku.ca/ ======================================================================= Software systems (e.g., smartphone apps, desktop applications, e-commerce systems, IoT infrastructures, big data systems, and enterprise systems, etc.) have strict requirements on software performance. Failure to meet these requirements will cause customer dissatisfaction and negative news coverage. In addition to conventional functional testing, the performance of these systems must be verified through load testing or benchmarking to ensure quality service. Load testing examines the behavior of a system by simulating hundreds or thousands of users performing tasks at the same time. Benchmarking evaluates a system's performance and allows to optimize system configurations or compare the system with similar systems in the domain. Load testing and benchmarking software systems are difficult tasks, which requires a great understanding of the system under test and customer behavior. Practitioners face many challenges such as tooling (choosing and implementing the testing tools), environments (software and hardware setup) and time (limited time to design, test, and analyze). This oneday workshop brings together software testing researchers, practitioners and tool developers to discuss the challenges and opportunities of conducting research on load testing and benchmarking software systems. We solicit the following two tracks of submissions: technical papers (maximum 4 pages) and presentation track for industry or experience talks (maximum 700 words extended abstract). Technical papers should follow the standard ACM SIG proceedings format and need to be submitted electronically via EasyChair. Extended abstracts need to be submitted as abstract only submissions via EasyChair. Accepted technical papers will be published in the ICPE 2017 Proceedings. Materials from the presentation track will not be published in the ICPE 2017 proceedings, but will be made available on the workshop website. Submitted papers can be research papers, position papers, case studies or experience reports addressing issues including but not limited to the following: - Efficient and cost-effective test executions - Rapid and scalable analysis of the measurement results - Case studies and experience reports on load testing and benchmarking - Load testing and benchmarking on emerging systems (e.g., adaptive/autonomic systems, big data batch and stream processing systems, and cloud services) - Load testing and benchmarking in the context of agile software development process - Using performance models to support load testing and benchmarking - Building and maintaining load testing and benchmarking as a service - Efficient test data management for load testing and benchmarking Important Dates - Technical Papers: January 10, 2017 - Presentation Track: March 20, 2017 - Paper Notification: February 1, 2017 - Presentation Notification: March 24, 2017 - Camera Ready: February 19, 2017 - Workshop Date: April 23, 2017 _______________________________________________ AISWorld mailing list AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CfP: E-Infrastructures for Research Collaboration in the Social Sciences and Humanities - Workshop at CSCW 2017 Datum: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 08:59:18 +0000 Von: Korn, Matthias <matthias.korn(a)uni-siegen.de> An: AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org>, comtech(a)fit.fraunhofer.de <comtech(a)fit.fraunhofer.de> Call for Participation E-Infrastructures for Research Collaboration: The Case of the Social Sciences and Humanities Workshop at CSCW 2017, Portland, Oregon, February 25 or 26 https://eresearchinfssh2017.wordpress.com/ == Important Dates Dec 19 | Submissions Due Jan 6 | Notifications Jan 11 | Early Registration Jan 31 | Camera-ready Feb 25 or 26 | Workshop at CSCW == Call for Participation Collaborative research practices are a highly interesting domain for CSCW. So far, CSCW has mainly focused on computation- and/or data-intensive research endeavors. Here, resources are typically pooled via common e-infrastructures for data access and processing, a set-up requiring additional layers of coordination. Such a focus largely foregrounds the sciences and other fields that rely on highly structured (or structure-able) data and the routinized processes of analysis. In contrast, in this one-day workshop we discuss the conditions and challenges characteristic of research collaboration in the qualitative social sciences and humanities (SSH). In particular, we examine the sociotechnical infrastructures that enable and support research practices that—in comparison with the collaborative paradigm of the natural sciences—tend to be less structured, compartmentalized, and routinized, but more fluid, flexible, and open-ended. The workshop seeks to collect empirical insights and design experiences, preparing the grounds for a comprehensive understanding of the role of e-infrastructures for collaborative research practices in SSH. We particularly invite submissions that draw out the core characteristics, challenges, and trends faced by groups of researchers in the SSH from experiential, theoretical, empirical or design perspectives. Key topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Reflections and meta-perspectives on collaboration in the SSH. * Empirical studies of collaborative research practices in the SSH, possibly taking on one or more of the following questions: * What are the infrastructures/resources that social scientists and humanists draw on? How do they do so? And, where do resources come from? * What has been the trajectory of change relative to digitization of resources, tools, and infrastructures? * Empirical studies of the invisible work to make collaborative research in the SSH work. * Studies of the (participatory) design, use, education, and appropriation of new digital tools, platforms, infrastructures for collaboration in the SSH. * Implications of digital methodologies for training and interdisciplinarity in the SSH. == Submission Details We invite 2-4 page position or experience papers in ACM Extended Abstracts format. Submissions should be e-mailed to the organizers by December 19, 2016. Please e-mail submissions to eResearchInfSSH2017(a)gmail.com. Submissions will be reviewed by the workshop organizers. We expect to accept a maximum of about 20 participants based on the submissions’ relevance to the workshop themes. == Organizers Matthias Korn, University of Siegen Marén Schorch, University of Siegen Volkmar Pipek, University of Siegen Matthew Bietz, University of California, Irvine Carsten Østerlund, Syracuse University Rob Procter, University of Warwick David Ribes, University of Washington Robin Williams, The University of Edinburgh -- Dr. Matthias Korn e-Science / Computer-Supported Cooperative Research DFG-SFB 1187: Media of Cooperation, University of Siegen Institute for Information Systems, Fak.
