Betreff: [AISWorld] Announcing Volume 8, Issue 4 of AIS Transactions on
Human-Computer Interaction
Datum: Fri, 30 Dec 2016 16:18:39 +0000
Von: Galletta, Dennis <galletta(a)katz.pitt.edu>
An: 'AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org>
Dear AIS Community:
In the midst of the holidays, we are celebrating the completion of the 8th volume of AIS Transactions on Human-Computer Interaction (THCI). This issue, we have three fine papers to ring out the old and ring in the new year. The first is a regular submission and the last two represent the first of several forthcoming papers in our special issue on Human Resource Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction.
THCI is one of the journals in the AIS (Association for Information Systems) e-library at http://aisel.aisnet.org/thci. To increase awareness and readership, THCI is still freely available to everyone during its initial years of publishing. You can find information related to all aspects of THCI at its website (http://aisel.aisnet.org/), including how to submit. We would like to thank AIS <http://home.aisnet.org/> Council for its continued support of the journal. And, as always, we are happy to announce that we have published the journal on time for all 32 issues.

Can we Take User Responses at Face Value? Exploring Users' "Self-stated" and "Derived" Importance of Utilitarian versus Hedonic Software Features (http://aisel.aisnet.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1087&context=thci)
by
Adarsh Kumar Kakar
Abstract: Empirical studies in the product development literature have shown that the users' self-reported importance of product attributes differs from the derived importance of product attributes obtained through the attributes' correlation with an external criterion such as user satisfaction. However, no study has examined this phenomenon in the context of software products. This investigation is important because the present-day software requirement-prioritization techniques are based on capturing users' self-reported importance of new software product features. As such, I develop a method in the study to capture the derived user importance of new features. The findings show that the implicitly derived importance of software attributes differs from the importance rankings assigned to them using requirement prioritization techniques. Further, I found that the implicitly derived user importance to identify the determinants of user satisfaction more accurately than the prioritizatio
n techniques based on self-stated user importance. I discuss the implications of this promising new approach for practice and future research in requirements prioritization.
Special Section: The first two papers from the Special Issue on Human Resource Information Systems and Human Computer Interaction
Introduction to the special issue (http://aisel.aisnet.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1088&context=thci)
By
Richard Johnson, Kimberly M. Lukaszewski, and Dianna L. Stone
In this special issue, we focus on the role that human-computer interaction (HCI) can play in the development and successful use of human resource information systems (HRIS) in organizations. There is no doubt that information systems have transformed the practice of human resources. From online/e-recruiting to e-learning and the growing interest in data analytics, the practice of human resources has become technology centric. Given the overlap of human resource practice and information systems, both fields need to work together to develop models and theories that advance the practice of HRIS in organizations. Therefore, this special issue a) briefly reviews the history of the HRIS field, b) advances theory and research that stands at the intersection of HRIS and HCI, and c) suggest new directions for research at the intersection of HRIS and HCI.
Job Applicants' Information Privacy Protection Responses: Using Social Media for Candidate Screening (http://aisel.aisnet.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1089&context=thci)
By
John R. Drake, Dianne Hall, J. Bret Becton, and Clay Posey
Abstract: For human resource (HR) departments, screening job applicants is an integral role in acquiring talent. Many HR departments have begun to turn to social networks to better understand job candidates' character. Using social networks as a screening tool might provide insights not readily available from resumes or initial interviews. However, requiring access to an applicants' social networks and the private activities occurring therein-a practice currently legal in 29 U.S. states (Deschenaux, 2015)-could induce strong moral reactions from the job candidates because of a perceived loss of information privacy. Subsequently, such disclosure requests could induce job candidates to respond in a multitude of ways to protect their privacy. Given that an estimated 2.55 billion individuals will use social media worldwide by 2017 (eMarketer, 2013), the repercussions from requests for access social media environments have potentially far-reaching effects. In this research, we examine how
one such disclosure request impacted six information privacy protective responses (IPPRs) (Son & Kim, 2008) based on the job candidates' perceived moral judgment and the perceived moral intensity of the HR disclosure request. These responses occurred when we asked respondents to provide personal login information during a hypothetical interview. By modeling data derived from a sample of 250 participants in PLS-SEM, we found that the five IPPRs (i.e., refusal, negative word of mouth, complaining to friends, complaining to the company, and complaining to third parties) were all significant responses when one judged the request to be immoral and perceived the moral intensity concept of immediate harm. The amount of variance explained by these five IPPRs ranged from 17.7 percent to 38.7 percent, which indicates a solid initial foundation from which future research can expand on this HR issue. Implications for academia and practice are discussed.
How Social Media Can Enhance Access to Information through Transactive Memory Development (http://aisel.aisnet.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1090&context=thci)
By
Hossam Ali-Hassan and Dorit Nevo
Abstract: A key challenge for managing talent in organizations is locating and coordinating expertise. In this study, we propose that employees who use social media can help an organization locate knowledge workers who are vital to organizational growth and competitiveness. We draws on transactive memory (TM) theory to examine the relationship between social media use and knowledge workers' access to information as mediated by the formation of an organization-wide transactive memory. We conducted the research using a mixed-methods approach that combined insights from a qualitative investigation with a confirmatory large-scale survey in a multinational information technology firm. We empirically show that social media use had a positive but indirect relationship with knowledge workers' access to information via the mediation of the three dimensions of TM. We discuss our findings' implications for theory and practice, including human resource management, and directions for future resea
rch.

Learning can take place anytime and anywhere, in particular in the context of lifelong and informal learning. Learners have their own learning styles. Some may prefer reading alone over listening to a lecture and some may want to get their hands dirty in hands-on practices. While some may be impressed and can learn quickly through watching a documentary movie, some others may want to interact with peers either physically or virtually (sometimes via avatars or even with virtual characters). No matter what preference learners have, engagement and motivations are the key ingredients for effective and efficient learning. Toy, robot and game technologies attract learners’ attention, engaging them through highly interactive and immersive experiences. Such technologies also satisfy the various learning needs as well as to assessing learners’ skills knowledge unobtrusively and implicitly. This track aims at providing researchers a platform to share and discuss innovative and advanced learning and assessment technologies utilizing toys, robots, and games.

Betreff: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2017 CfP: Digital Crime and Information
Systems Security
Datum: Wed, 28 Dec 2016 02:42:37 +0000

CALL FOR PAPERS
*** AMCIS 2017: Mini-Track on Digital Crime and Information Systems Security ***
August 10-12, 2017, BOSTON, MA, USA
Paper submission deadline: March 1, 2017
https://amcis2017.aisnet.org/
We invite submissions to the Digital Crime and Information Systems Security mini-track, within the Information Systems Security and Privacy track (SIGSec) of AMCIS 2017. The mini-track is aligned with SIGSec’s effort to address the emerging developments in information security. In the realm of digital crime, there are various significant developments, both in the ways in which criminals use technology to commit crime, but also in the ways in which organizations respond to this by developing appropriate countermeasures to fight crime.
Description
Digital crime is costing businesses billions of dollars every year. Besides the heavy toll in resources, recent reports indicate that it can take up to 46 days for companies to fully resolve security incidents. Criminals build on the global reach, anonymity and convenience of ICT and social media to identify and exploit various socio-organizational and technical vulnerabilities. Digital crime is an inherently diverse activity; it covers a wide spectrum between computer-assisted (existing, but digitalized) and computer-enabled (completely novel) types of crime, and spans physical and virtual borders. This mini-track invites the submission of papers that address a variety of issues pertaining to the prevention, detection and response to digital crimes, including criminological and crime science approaches. Interdisciplinary research that examines the causes, forensic investigation processes, or wider economic and societal impact of digital crimes, among other topics, is particularly welcome.
Scope
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Digital forensics and fraud investigations
· Criminological studies in Information Security
· Cyber-bullying and cyber-stalking
· Digital fraud and theft
· Cyber-espionage
· Online child exploitation
· Dark Net markets
· Cyber-Law
· Cryptocurrencies and digital crime
· Digital crime detection and prevention
· Economic and financial aspects of digital crime
Important Dates
· Manuscript Submissions Begin: January 9, 2017
· Manuscript Submissions Due: March 1, 2017, 1:00 PM EST
· Notification of Initial Decision: April 17, 2017
Submission Types
· Completed research papers (lesss than 5,000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures)
· Research-in-progress papers (less than 3,500 words, excluding references, tables, and figures)
All conference submissions will be double-blind, peer reviewed, and must be submitted using the online submission system. For complete instructions for authors and information about the conference, visit the AMCIS 2017 website: http://amcis2017.aisnet.org/
Publishing opportunity
All submissions will be considered for possible fast tracking in the Journal of Information System Security (http://www.jissec.org).

ICWE 2017 - 17th International Conference on Web Engineering
------------------------------------------------
5-8 June 2017, Rome, Italy
http://icwe2017.webengineering.org
CALL FOR RESEARCH PAPERS
ICWE aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from various
disciplines in academia and industry to tackle the emerging challenges
in the engineering of Web applications and in the problems of its
associated technologies, as well as the impact of those technologies on
society, media and culture. The 17th edition of ICWE will accept
contributions related to different dimensions of Web applications
including, but not limited to:
Web application modeling and engineering
Human computation and crowdsourcing applications
Web applications composition and mashup
Social Web applications
Semantic Web applications
Web of Things applications
Big Data
We invite authors to submit high quality contributions describing
significant, original, and unpublished results in the following categories:
- Technical papers should describe mature research contributions.
Results should be supported by some type of validation, and also include
a justification about the choice/suitability of the validation method.
In addition, evidence of use in practice and/or demonstration of
scalability is regarded as a plus. Where a submission builds upon
previous work of the author(s), the novelty of the new contribution must
be clearly described with respect to the previous work. Max 18 pages.
- Vision papers describing new, non-conventional research positions or
approaches. Vision submissions are intended to describe well-defined
research ideas that are at an early stage of investigation and may not
be fully validated. Papers should clearly identify the new idea /
radical vision they are proposing. Max 12 pages.
Awards will be given to the best paper according to the program
committee review feedback.
