-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] 3rd Call for Papers: IFIP EGOV-ePart 2016 Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 07:54:42 -0800 Von: Jochen Scholl <acodinga(a)gmail.com> An: aisworld <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> 15th IFIP International Conference on eGovernment (IFIP EGOV 2016) 8th IFIP International Conference on eParticipation (IFIP ePart 2016) September 5 to 8, 2016 — Guimarães, Portugal www.egov-conference.org <http://www.egov-conference.org/>, www.epart-conference.org <http://www.epart-conference.org/> ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— CALL FOR PAPERS AND CONTRIBUTIONS OVERVIEW The dual 15th IFIP Electronic Government (EGOV) and the 8th Electronic Participation (ePart) Conference 2016 will be held from Monday, September 5 to Thursday, September 8, 2016 in Guimarães, Portugal. The dual conference will be hosted by the United Nations University Operating Unit on Policy-Driven Electronic Governance (UNU-EGOV, http://egov.unu.edu/ <http://egov.unu.edu/>) and the University of Minho (http://www.uminho.pt/en <http://www.uminho.pt/en>). The annual international IFIP EGOV conference is the top-2 ranked core conference in the domain of e-Government or ICT in the public sector and the public sphere. Each year, scholars from all over the globe present the most recent advancements and findings of research and innovations in e-Government, e-Governance and related fields of study. The annual international ePart conference is the top-ranked conference in the domain of electronic participation and the 5th-ranked overall conference dedicated to information technologies in the context of public administration and the public sphere. The dual conference is organized by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information systems in the public sector. Since the beginnings of EGOV in 2001 and the inauguration of ePart in 2009, the two conferences have provided important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving domain of study. The dual IFIP EGOV—ePart conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. The 2016 edition of the dual IFIP (WG 8.5) conference will continue to host five topical tracks. Two general tracks will maintain the tradition of EGOV and ePart in the way, with which former conference attendees have become familiar. In addition, three special-topics tracks are intended to expand the reach and scope of the dual IFIP WG 8.5 conference: ⎯ The General E-Government Track (EGOV LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The General eParticipation Track (ePart LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The Open Government & Open and Big Data Track (EGOV LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The Policy Modeling and Policy Informatics Track (ePart LNCS Proceedings) ⎯ The Smart Governance, Smart Government, & Smart Cities Track (EGOV LNCS Proceedings) Although the five tracks overlap in certain areas, they cover and emphasize distinct areas of research and appeal to specific and important sub-communities within the overall EGOV—ePart scholarly community. Therefore the tracks have their separate and detailed call for papers, a short version of which is shown below. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— TRACKS For the dual 15th IFIP EGOV and 8th IFIP ePart conference we seek contributions that include but are not limited to: The GENERAL EGOV TRACK (Track Chairs: Marijn Janssen (lead), and Maria Wimmer, and Hans Jochen Scholl) The General EGOV Track serves as an umbrella for all e-Government-related topics except the special-topics tracks on Open Government & Big Data and the Smart Governance, Smart Government, & Smart Cities (see below).

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP - The Future of Open Source: SIGOPEN Developmental Workshop at OSS2016 Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 07:13:55 -0800 Von: Matthew Levy <mattlevy(a)sfsu.edu> An: ifipwg213(a)listserv.syr.edu, ifipwg82(a)listserv.syr.edu, ifipwg86(a)managingbydesign.net, sigopen(a)lists.unomaha.edu <sigopen(a)nexus.unomaha.edu>, aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org SIGOPEN Developmental Workshop at OSS2016 The Future of Open Source: SIGOPEN Developmental Workshop at OSS2016 May 30, 2016 Gothenburg, Sweden http://sigopen.org/events/2016-events/2016-oss-workshop/ The open source landscape has changed dramatically since the scholarly community first began investigating open source in earnest in the early 2000’s. Disruptive technological trends such as cloud computing, Software-as-a-Service, Service Oriented Architectures, and public API’s as a development platform, change how we understand software development, distribution, execution, modification and evolution. Likewise, the organizational context of open source has shifted from its traditional “grassroots” origins to include large formal organizations/foundations, commercial sponsors and participants, and public and NGO patrons and advocates. As such, open source has spawned a wide variety of related phenomena including the application of open source principles within and between organizations, the adoption of open source ethos in the design and development of hardware and devices, 3-D printable models, virtual objects, and other complex knowledge goods. Building on the success of the SIGOPEN developmental workshops recently held at ECIS 2015 and ICIS 2015, the AIS Special Interest Group on Open Research and Practice (SIGOPEN) will host a workshop at OSS 2016 to facilitate the rigorous exploration of this changing open source landscape. The workshop will provide a unique and collegial environment for scholars to present their work-in-progress, mature their ideas, meet other researchers exploring related areas, and learn about emerging research in a relaxed and supportive setting. The goal of the workshop is to help authors move their work forward towards publication in major international journals. The workshop welcomes research across a wide range of open source related issues, including development processes, platforms, and tools; individual behaviors and motivations; social, cultural, and organizational factors; economic and business models; legal structures and governance; leadership and coordination. However, reflecting the themes noted above, the CFP will particularly highlight the desirability of research that extends our understanding of: – the impact of emerging computing paradigms and models on open source software development processes, platforms, licensing, and governance. – the impact of corporate, non-profit, and public body participation in open source projects and communities on open source software development processes, platforms, licensing, and governance. – the impact of open source on the peer-production of other knowledge goods (open hardware, the maker movement, open design and 3D printing, etc) and on the strategies and operations of organizations (open business models). Authors will be expected to submit working papers (max 7 pages + cover page and references) using the OSS 2016 submission template. These working papers will be then be archived (open access) to the SIGOPEN website ( http://sigopen.org). This one-day workshop will comprise full-group paper presentations with Q&A in the morning, and small-group developmental roundtables in the afternoon. Roundtables will be mentored and participants will be expected to have read the other papers in their roundtable in order to contribute meaningfully to the development of all papers in the group. The emphasis will be on focused, pragmatic engagement to support researchers in solving the problems they are presently facing with the work (e.g. theory development, data analysis, and the communication of results) There will also be opportunities for broader discussion amongst the full group of workshop participants.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP: AMCIS 2016 mini track "Business Models for the Digital Economy" Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 15:22:52 +0000 Von: Hans-Dieter Zimmermann <hansdieter.zimmermann(a)fhsg.ch> An: ISWORLD Mailing List <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), San Diego, August 11-13, 2016, http://amcis2016.aisnet.org/ Call for Papers for the Mini Track "Business Models for the Digital Economy" This minitrack serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of new and innovative approaches of business models beyond e-commerce for coping with the challenges of the digital economy as well as digital transformation. We consider an economy based on the digitization of information and the respective information and communication infrastructure as digital economy. This new type of economy implies not only technological, but also and especially structural and process-related challenges and potential. The way in which economic value is created will change fundamentally in the digital economy and thus transform the structure of economies and societies. This evolution will radically alter processes and structures within and between businesses and further organizations including governmental authorities leading to the digital economy. New and innovative products and services are emerging, new infrastructures – market services as well as technological means – are enabling the digital economy. All of these developments characterize the emerging digital economy and cause new challenges businesses as well as further organizations have to cope with. This clearly will have a major impact on how business models have to be designed. Therefore this minitrack addresses all topics concerned with the analysis, design, development, implementation, and control of future business models for the creation of economic value in the digital economy from a communication, organizational, business, economic, and managerial perspective applying a theoretical, conceptual, or practical approach. Suggested topics: - Challenges and foundations of the digital economy - Analytical and architectural frameworks for new business models - Business Model generation and business model innovation - Disruptive Business Models in the Digital Economy - Business models and the digital transformation - Design approaches/ methods for new business models - Models and modeling techniques/ approaches for new business models - Industry perspectives on business models - Social Media and Social Networks based business models - Challenges of converging industries: - Financial industry (e.g., emerging intermediaries, private/retail banking, insurance) - Media industry (e.g., publishing, music business) - Telecommunications (e.g., mobile network operators) - A business model perspective on - Mobile Business - ‘Ubiquitous Commerce’ - ‘Collaborative Commerce’ - Social Commerce - Trust and new business models.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Only 9 days remaining: AMCIS 2016 CFP: Information Technology and Digitization for Sustainable Transportation Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 16:01:53 +0100 Von: Tobias Brandt <tobias.brandt(a)is.uni-freiburg.de> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org 22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), San Diego, CA, August 13-16, 2016 Mini-Track: Information Technology and Digitization for Sustainable Transportation Tack: Green IS and Sustainability (SIGGreen) *Description* The transportation sector continues to be a main driver of global CO2-emmissions and environmental pollution (IPCC 2014). However, technological progress and digitization are having a profound effect on transportation and mobility, potentially decimating their environmental footprint. Information technology and information systems play a critical role in this transition. Electric vehicles would be much less appealing without online maps of charging stations and a simple electronic payment system. Information systems for managing the charging process of large electric vehicle fleets are necessary to ensure stability of electricity grids (Schmidt et al. 2014, Kahlen et al. 2014). Carsharing, bikesharing, and ridesharing services as well as multimodal mobility approaches are enabled by interactive online platforms and marketplaces that allow customers to locate, reserve, and pay for the vehicles (Birdsall 2014). They are also supported by sophisticated analytics systems that address the spatial and temporal volatility of vehicle supply and demand (Wagner et al. 2015). Green Logistics enables enterprise to substantially reduce the environmental impact of their supply and distribution systems (Dedrick 2010). All of these developments challenge established management and innovation approaches for incumbent organizations.

Fwd: [AISWorld] PACIS 2016 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
by Gustaf Neumann 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] PACIS 2016 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Datum: Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:07:35 +0800 Von: She-I Chang <actsic(a)ccu.edu.tw> Antwort an: actsic(a)ccu.edu.tw An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org PACIS 2016 DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Nomination Deadline: March 4, 2016 Notification of Acceptance: April 22, 2016 We invite you to make nominations for the 20th Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS) 2016 Doctoral Consortium. The Consortium will be held on June 27-28, immediately prior to the PACIS 2016 Conference, Chiayi, Taiwan. Universities are invited to nominate candidates for the consortium. Eligible candidates are Ph.D. students in Information Systems (IS), who have developed a plan for pursuing their dissertation, and would benefit from constructive feedback from senior faculty in the field. The consortium aims to provide doctoral students with an opportunity to share their research ideas and network with peers and experienced scholars serving as faculty advisors. Participating students will receive high quality feedback from faculty advisors, who are eminent researchers in the field, associated with leading institutions around the globe, serving in senior editorial positions in the field's top journals. This consortium will be a significant event for emerging IS researchers in the Asia Pacific region. NOMINIATION ELIGIBILITY: Ph.D. students who are currently working on a doctoral dissertation in Information Systems, and whose research has progressed to the point where a clear plan of investigation has been laid out, but there is sufficient scope for changes to this plan based on feedback from the consortium. The ideal consortium candidate should have chosen a theoretical approach and initiated planning or implementation of empirical work, but should have at least six months of work remaining at the time of the consortium. The nominated candidates must be sufficiently proficient in English to participate in the consortium, since the language of the consortium will be English. While some priority will be given to students from institutions in the Asia-Pacific region (AIS Region 3), strong nominations from other AIS regions will be seriously considered. NOMINATION PROCESS: In the interests of diversity and equity, though more than one nomination is allowed from a single institution, we require that multiple nominees be ranked by the nominating institution in advance of nomination. Note that the first-ranked nominees will have equal chance against other first-ranked or sole nominees. The 2nd ranked nominees would only be considered after all 1st ranked/sole nominees. Students must be nominated by an IS faculty member. The nomination should follow the guidelines below: A submitted proposal should outline the research topic, research question(s), theoretical foundations, proposed methodology, current stage of the research, and plans for completion. A nomination letter from either the director of the IS doctoral program, the IS department's chairperson, or the candidate's thesis/dissertation advisor should certify that that the candidate is the nominee from the university/institution, and that the candidate meets the eligibility criteria mentioned above. NOMINATION SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: The proposal should meet the requirements of research-in-progress (RIP) submissions for PACIS, since accepted proposals will have the option of being published in the conference proceedings as RIP papers (and possibly presented as posters). Submit your proposal to the "Doctoral Consortium Track" at the PACIS 2016 official website at www.pacis2016.org before the deadline (you should copy your proposal and nomination details by email to the Consortium Co-Chairs ewang(a)mgt.ncu.edu.tw and g.gable(a)qut.edu.au ). It must not exceed seven (7) single-spaced pages and must confirm to the PACIS 2016 word template (a link to which is in the PACIS paper submission web pages). The 7 pages must include all text, figures, tables, and appendices. In other words, the cover page, abstract, keywords, and references are excluded from this page count. Please note that the length restriction is strict; proposals that do not follow the requirements will not be considered. A cover page should show the candidate's full name, affiliation (university and school/department), and all contact details including name, mailing and e-mail addresses, and telephone and fax numbers. The candidate should also indicate the name(s) and contact details of his or her principal faculty supervisors. CONFIDENTIALITY: The publication of student reports in the conference proceedings as research-in-progress papers (and any related poster session) is optional. It is recognised that in exceptional cases, exposure of early research work may be a concern. Note that student reports received by the co- Chairs are circulated only to the stream scholars and student peers within a stream, all of whom are counselled to keep the reports and related discussions confidential to the stream. CONSORTIUM SCHEDULE: Consortium activities will commence with Registration and a Panel in the afternoon on Monday, 27 June, followed by a welcome dinner. A full day event is scheduled 28 June, which will focus on providing constructive feedback to students on their research. The Consortium will include a balanced mix of students representing diverse research topics, methods, schools and cultures. Each student will present his or her research in a designated stream led by 2-3 faculty advisors, who will have carefully reviewed the student submissions. Participants are required to have carefully reviewed all proposals in their stream prior to the Consortium so that they are prepared to contribute to the discussion on each student's research. REGISTRATION AND COST: Accepted consortium students are required to register for the main conference by the early- bird date (student rate), and may receive further feedback on their research at a poster session (if included in proceedings). There is no charge for the consortium, but home institutions are encouraged to provide financial assistance to successful nominees in the form of conference registration, travel and accommodation aid. More detailed information about the consortium will be provided on acceptance. SUBMISSION CONTACT INFORMATION: Please contact Guy Gable (g.gable(a)qut.edu.au) with questions. You should copy your proposal and nomination details by email to the Consortium Co-Chairs (ewang(a)mgt.ncu.edu.tw and g.gable(a)qut.edu.au ).

Rules in Tourism - Deliver a welcome message to POI visitors as they arrive nearby. - When a visitor leaves a room in the museum, then push notifications regarding the next recommended room, based on visitors' preferences and previous visit history. - When a visitor completes the tour, then push goodbye messages and notify on upcoming/partner exhibitions. Rules in Transportation - When arriving at car parking, then push a notification on available places. - When selecting destination and inside a bus station, then display bus data (arrival time, notices). - When bus nears destination, then push notification on time to arrival and suggest accommodations. Rules in Medicine - Suggest medical treatments, based on Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) encoded as rules in a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS). - Issue medical alerts to patients (e.g., on a mobile device), based on health trend analysis and personalizable health data limits. - Aid physicians in diagnosing patients, by continuously encoding & updating medical knowledge and experience inside a rule base. Rules in Geography - A region X is part of a region Y if and only if all regions that connect to X also connect to Y. - Two regions X and Y are overlapped if and only if there exists a region Z such that Z is part of X and Z is part of Y. Rules in Ecosystem Research - If a plot in a monitoring network satisfies a number of prespecified requirements, such as being a long distance off from any other plot, then it is eligible for statistical analysis. - If the percentage of a target species on a plot exceeds a certain threshold, then the plot is treated differently in statistical analysis than plots where the target species is less abundant. - The percentage of a target species on a plot must not vary throughout the analysis. Rules in Location-Based Search - If less than or equal to k POIs of type X (e.g., Restaurants) are found, then zoom in/out on the map to the axis-aligned minimum bounding box of all POIs. - If more than k POIs of type X are found, then zoom in/out on the map to the axis-aligned minimum bounding box of the k-nearest POIs. - If the POIs searched for are of type X then suggest to the user subtypes of X (e.g., Italian, Greek) for a subsequent (i.e., refined) search. Prizes ====== As in previous editions, RuleML Inc. will offer two prizes: - RuleML Challenge Award - RuleML Challenge Runner-up Award (more details on these awards to be announced soon!)
